‘Agents Of SHIELD’ Adds Dove Cameron In Season 5 Role

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Season 5 is adding another new face, but Disney fans might recognize her. Dove Cameron revealed Tuesday that she was joining the ABC drama.

Cameron announced the news with a video on Instagram. “Hey guys so I know I’ve been promising you some announcements for a while, and I’m so excited because I finally get to tell you one that I’ve been waiting to tell you forever,” she says.

Then Phil Coulson actor Clark Gregg interrupts her and shakes his head. Cameron apologizes and jumps into a golf cart with an SHIELD logo on it. Watch the clip below:

While this is Cameron’s first gig on a Marvel TV show, this isn’t her first time working with Disney. The actress got her big break in Disney Channel’s “Liv and Maddie,” and she also stars in the “Descendants” TV movie franchise.

In typical “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” fashion, no details have been released about her character yet. However, fans know that the ABC drama is currently set in space. Coulson and his team were mysteriously transported to a space ship in last year’s season finale.

When Season 5 premieres Friday, the agents will be figuring out how to handle life aboard the ship. Right off the bat, they’ll have to figure out how to fight the deadly roach-like aliens known as the Vrellnexians. It might be a while before they can find their way home. Will Cameron play a friend from space or from earth? Audiences will have to wait to find out.

In any case, it seems like her new cast mates are giving her a warm welcome. Elizabeth Henstridge, who plays Jemma Simmons, called her “gorgeous and crazy talented” and Gregg also tweeted a friendly message.

Luckily, Cameron isn’t the only new kid in class. Along with their new setting, “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Season 5 is introducing several new characters. Eve Harlow is playing a young woman named Tess who is desperate for a better future, according to TVLine. Jeff Ward is playing Deke, a scavenger. Pruitt Taylor Vince portrays Grill, a grumpy taskmaster, while Coy Stewart plays Flint, a man who wants to prove himself.

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Season 5 kicks off with a two-hour premiere Friday at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. On Dec. 8, it will move to its regular timeslot on Fridays at 9 p.m. EST.
