Agent Melinda May is
the latest S.H.I.E.L.D. operative to star in her own Art of Evolution poster for
next week's episode which oddly enough is titled Melinda, and will delve into
the character's history and explain her transformation into The Cavalry.
This week's art was
created by accomplished artist Jenny Frison, whose previous works were featured
on the covers of Marvel, DC, IDW, Image, and Dark Horse to name a few.
Executive producer
Jeff Bell sat down with Entertainment Weekly to talk about Frison's work, and explain
how it relates to the upcoming episode.
Jenny kind of killed it. I
think it’s a great likeness of May, and May looks super badass. And you get the
Bahrain in the background, and the Arabic in the background says something
there that’s relevant to our story. [Ed. note: It says “cavalry.”] And
then I like that there’s sort of the multiple shadows of different people.
There’s 2 or 3 people that sort of have her backed up against the wall. I think
it’s lovely. And her S.H.I.E.L.D. badge is there, because all of them have
either Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or our logo
somewhere. I thought that was cool the way she did that.
Without
going into spoilery details, Bell also described the episode.
Without going too
much into the story, because this episode tells the story of May’s past, she’s
a very different May in this episode. This is the May before this incident
happened. And so there are qualities that Ming[-Na Wen] brings to the
role. Seeing her married back in the day… we’ve already met Andrew (Blair
Underwood), but to sort of see what May was like back at that time is a
different color, and I think Ming does that beautifully. And I agree: I
think the background is gorgeous and complicated. It’s a very dynamic image.
Aptly
called Melinda, the episode will tell the story of Melinda May’s transformation
into The Cavalry as she finds herself at a crossroads in the war between
Coulson and Gonzales.
