Dove Cameron’s Role on Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD Revealed

Last November, ABC and Marvel Entertainment announced that actress Dove Cameron had joined the cast of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD Season 5 in a mysterious role. Now, EW has posted a first-look photo of the actress on the series and revealed that she’ll be playing Ruby, “a young woman of cunning intelligence who has a mysterious obsession with Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet) — oh, and she’s the daughter of General Hale (Catherine Dent).”

The magazine adds: “General Hale was that high-level government agent who executed her two subordinates after Fitz (Iain de Caestecker) was able to escape the Blue Raven Ridge facility with a cryo-freeze capsule and the Zephyr One.”

Dove Cameron will first appear in the March 2 episode. She is best known as playing the two titular characters in the Disney Channel series Liv and Maddie and also playing Mal, daughter of Maleficent, in Disney Channel’s Descendants movies.
