ABC TV?s only Asian-American superhero opens up about the need for representation onscreen?and why her band of SHIELD agents totally belong in Marvel?s movies. Four years ago, Marvel?s Agents of SHIELD star Chloe Bennet was known professionally as Chloe Wang, aspiring actress and teenage dabbler in Shanghai pop stardom. In the states, however, Hollywood casting agents were less than welcoming. At least until she changed her last name. ?Oh, the first audition I went on after I changed my name, I got booked,? Bennet tells The Daily Beast, in an interview timed to Marvel?s Women of Power month.
