by Eric Goldman JANUARY 17, 2014
At the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour today, ABC president Paul Lee revealed a notable guest star from the Marvel movies is coming to Marvel's Agents of SHIELD in the form of
Jaimie Alexander, who will reprise her role as Lady Sif, the Asgardian warrior she's played in Thor and Thor: The Dark World.
Alexander is filming her guest role right now, for the 15th episode of SHIELD's first season. Her guest appearance will mark the first time a non-SHIELD agent character first introduced in the films is showing up on SHIELD (Cobie Smulders, Maximiliano Hernández and Samuel L. Jackson have appeared on the series so far) and she's also the first superpowered character from the films to guest star.

Lee talked up the back-nine episodes of Agents of SHIELD (the ones shot when it got picked up from its initial 13-episode order to 22), saying he felt they were notably strong. He teased, "You're going to find out who the Clairvoyant is and it's going to be very, very cool."
Asked about how he felt the show had gone creatively, Lee said, “It did take us a little bit of time to find our sea legs. The key was to really work with the studios and showrunners and figure out how we could have s show that didn’t have iron man but did have an incredibly amount of the Marvel Universe. It took a little bit of time to figure out the balance between procedural and an arc.” He went on to say, “I’m so proud of how they’ve arced the last nine episodes [of Season 1].”
