Last night's episode of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. gave us our first look at Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi Morse, aka Mockingbird. We gave a summary and our thoughts on the episode HERE. If you haven't watched it yet, you might want to look away right now.
A big question fans of the show, character, and Palicki have had is will we see more of Mockingbird on the show? At the end of the episode, she is 'welcomed' as the latest former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent joining the crew. But does that mean Palick has committed herself to more episodes?
Marvel has just released the following image:
You can see Bobbi Morse in a S.H.I.E.L.D. tactical outfit along with her signature blonde hair. Why was she a brunette in the episode? She stated that it was because she was undercover in HYDRA. She even has a connection to another recent recruit.
Marvel also released concept art of Mockinbird's look. Costume designer Ann Foley gave her thoughts on the character's look:
"I looked at all of her comic appearances and really wanted to try to bring elements of the look from the comics into the costume that we're doing now for the show because I know it's important to the fans. It's important to me to keep certain elements, but we had to change it, obviously, for practicality, because it had to fit into our world. It had to have a kind of tactical feeling to it too so that it made sense in our universe.
"She's got rivets that are in the straps across her chest, and those are there as a tribute to the buttons that go down the side of her [most recent] costume [in the comics], as well as the colors that we were using, [which] are a tribute as well. Her colors are navy blue and white with a little bit of black in there, [but] white would not have been pretty on camera so we changed it to grey. [We] still tried to maintain the original style of what was in the comic book because [with] that white panel that goes up her center and down her legs, [so] we've mirrored that in her costume but in gray instead of white."
We'll get to see Bobbi in this outfit in next week's episode.
