This week on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
RELATED RELATED TVLINE | How did this role come about? Were you actively looking to change things up and do something drastically different? allllways wanted to do Marvel. Since the dawn of time, Marvel has been my favorite thing. Anything action-related, anything superhero, supervillian, has been a great interest to me since I was very small. I mean, I didn’t know anything going into this audition about who Ruby was going to be; it was very limited information, very limited sides. But it turned out to be something so incredible and exactly what I wanted to do in terms of acting. Because everything I do is not for any kind of image, it’s because I really want to do the roles.
TVLINE | For starters, can you confirm that Ruby is truly General Hale’s daughter, or could this be some “raised her like a daughter” situation?
TVLINE | Because it’s quite an unorthodox set-up they’ve got there with the bedroom. Laughs ] I can’t really tell you much else, but she is her biological daughter.
TVLINE | Ruby was perturbed that Quake wasn’t there when she intercepted the others. If Quake had been there, what do you think Ruby’s plan was? thinks is going to happen when she sees Quake might not be exactly what happens when she sees Quake.
TVLINE | How soon will we gain insight into Ruby’s motivations?
TVLINE | Maybe there will be some flashbacks to tell that story? Laughs ]
TVLINE | I assume that was actually you in the mask there, during the fight…
TVLINE | So, talk about filming that sequence, because Natalia [Cordova-Buckley] simply devastated me with that look on her face after Yo-Yo’s arms got chopped off. Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a very technical show, and they are great about fitting a lot of stunts into a very small amount of time. So it wasn’t really like a big, emotional day on set, as much as it was a very technical day on set. Also, I can’t really see anything through that mask, I’m not lying. I can’t see or really hear anything, but that was really me in the background there whole time, for, like, a 12-hour day. But Natalia had her own emotional journey, for sure. She had these “green screen arms” on, these little green sleeves…. [Laughs ] It ends up looking so devastating and incredible in post[-production]. but it’s very, very technical in person. The show is so incredible to me, how they can do that.
TVLINE | Will we learn that your masked persona has a cool name?
TVLINE | Lastly, will we see that she has any other skills besides throwing around the chakram? Is there, like, any hand-to-hand combat? definitely going to have to wait until later on! But she’s a full-blown assassin, a killing machine. Anything that anyone on S.H.I.E.L.D. can do — obviously besides Quake — Ruby can do!
