In her three-decade-long acting career, Ming-Na Wen has embodied, or given voice to, a broad spectrum of female characters that have often changed the pop culture landscape. In Mulan (1998), she voiced the eponymous warrior right into modern legend as the first Asian Disney princess. On the small screen, she has also consistently lent her dulcet tones to high-profile animated series like The Batman, Spawn, and Guardians Of The Galaxy. Arguably, her seven seasons playing Agent Melinda May in Agents Of SHIELD has helped create a new template for the mature superheroine. It has actually been a year since Ming-Na said goodbye to the show – and she tells SFX that her life has been anything but sedate.
We get a new May in this final season and one that gets to time travel to the past…
Yes, Marvel created this timeline with us going back to Agent Carter, so it was really fun to travel through time and pick up a very special guest character, with Enver Gjokaj playing Daniel Sousa.
Did that invigorate the show for the core cast?
