Marvel has cast Lyndsy Fonseca (Nikita) as Angie Martinelli for its upcoming show, Marvel's Agent Carter.
Marvel.com described Fonseca's character as "An aspiring actress living in 1946 New York, Angie will befriend Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) as she herself seeks to find her place in the post-war world."
Jeph Loeb, Marvel's Head of Television said about this casting, "'Marvel's Agent Carter' opens up an exciting world of new characters for us. Lyndsy brings a warmth and humanity to Angie, who'll be the friend Peggy needs if she's to survive the dangers that lie ahead."
Though her character is said to have no connections with SHIELD or any other similar organization, considering her previous roles in Kick-Ass and Nikita, we know Lyndsy is more then capable of kicking some ass. Could she become a future asset for SHIELD, or maybe end up on the other side? One can only speculate.
