Julie Gonzalo (Veronica Mars) and Staz Nair (Game of Thrones) have also joined the cast for the new season.
She will be the second cast member to direct an episode of the series following David Harewood, who helm an episode last season.
Last season, Sam Witwer, Rhona Mitra, and Bruce Boxleitner joined the cast to portray the roles of Agent Liberty, Mercy Graves, and Vice President Baker, respectively.
She is described as “cunning, witty, ruthless” and her agenda puts her on a collision course with the titular hero.
