Saffron Burrows Rumored to Join Agents of SHIELD as Victoria Hand

Latino Reviews reveals that actress Saffron Burrows has been cast as SHIELD Agent Victoria Hand for ABC's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." 

Hand was Norman Osborn's right hand gal back when he was still leading H.A.M.M.E.R., she was a tough cookie and hated the administration of both Nick Fury and Tony Stark, which was also the cause of her downfall. 

After the events of Siege, Hand was personally recruited by Commander Steve Rogers to become the liaison for Luke Cage's New Avengers team. She also made up one-third of the so-called "Cap's Angels" joining Maria Hill and Agent 13, Sharon Carter.

Oh and much like Victoria Hand, Burrows is also part of the LGBT community; dating Irish actress Fiona Shaw.

Again, nothing's set on stone with the casting so you might want to file this under 'Rumors'...

Marvel Teases Inhumanity after Infinity

Infinity hasn't even started and Marvel is already gung-ho in showing what's in store for the 616 Marvel Universe when the dust settles between the Avengers, Thanos and the Builders. Enter Inhumanity:

It's a novel idea how they want to work this new 'overreaching' arc. It follows the principle of a banner like how Dark Reign spins off from the ending of Secret Invasion and Heroic Age started after the 'Big Three' reunion in Siege. 

And yet, if you read the first article that was published on EW's Popwatch, you'll understand that this is also a tie-in to the new "Inhumans" book which is written by Da Vinci's Demons writer Matt Fraction. 

Another thing that's interesting here is how they plan on homaging and skewering the classic "Earth X" storyline. It's like a 21st Century take on a legendary story.
