Written and created by Dan Fogelman, Jansen garnered much critical acclaim for her portrayal of the sharp tongued and hilariously evil Queen.Immediately after wrapping the second season of "Galavant", Mallory was cast in the fourth season of ABC's hit show "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Over the coarse of the season, Mallory portrayed three different roles: Aida, an artificial intelligence Life Model Decoy; Agnes Kitsworth, Radcliffe's former Australian lover; and Madame Hydra, the iconic Marvel comic book character.
