Her character is described as:
Matteo will play Karla Faye Gideon, a Gifted woman with a grudge to bear against S.H.I.E.L.D. who joins forces with Skye’s father, Cal.
It's unknown if she will be playing another Inhuman, like the recently cast Luke Mitchell. However, we do know she will be working with Skye's father, Cal aka The Doctor. Although Faye Gideon might not be a well known character from the comics, she did appear in 2005's "Daredevil Redemption" by David Hine and Michael Gaydos as a victim of domestic violence and mother of a murdered child. She had a less than friendly relation with Daredevil in the miniseries, and they were often at odds.
"We’re thrilled to have Drea join us as yet another great villain to challenge our cast," said Executive Producer and Marvel’s Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. "We relished the opportunity to work with her in such a menacing role."
Fans may know Matteo from her starring role in Sons of Anarchy, as well as The Sopranos.
Marvel's Agents of SHIELD will return on March 3 at 9pm ET on ABC.
