Disney + needs to bring back some agents from SHIELD characters

Agents of SHIELD may have ended in 2020, but that won’t stop this superfan from writing about it well into 2021 and beyond. As long as the higher powers here at ComicBook.com allow it, I’ll be hype Agents of SHIELD and are characters until I die (or stop working here, whichever comes first). Which WandaVision premiered on Disney +, an exciting new era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has begun. We are about to get a highly anticipated set of series like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki with more shows like Hawkeye currently in production. While Agents of SHIELD had the perfect airing, I firmly believe some of the show’s characters deserve to appear on Disney + again.

Before we begin, it should be noted that this is not about the canon debate. While I stand by the fact that Agents of SHIELD is MCU canon and will base some of my arguments on that fact, it doesn’t really matter. We were going to get Charlie Cox ‘Daredevil in the next Spider Man film and James D’Arcy’s Jarvis Agent Carter already came in Avengers: Endgame. Why can the Agents of SHIELD do people get the same privilege? Especially considering it’s the only Marvel show to have a full, well-rounded series.

It should also be mentioned that the latest episode of WandaVision featured a commercial for a soap called “Hydra Soak,” which felt like a direct reference to it Agents of SHIELD‘s Framework arc. For now, I refuse to believe that this was just a coincidence. If WandaVision refers Agents of SHIELD, my hope is growing that Disney + might include some of the characters.

Be warned, I am not including Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) and Leopold Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) on this list. As much as I love them and want to see more of Henstridge and De Caestecker on my television screen, I think their characters deserve their happy ending in retirement. Forgive me, my fellow FitzSimmons aficionados! However, here are some others Agents of SHIELD characters I want to see appear on Disney + …

Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet)

Of all Agents of SHIELD characters, bringing back Daisy Johnson AKA Quake makes the most sense. Not only is this awesome Inhuman a huge part of the comics, but we last saw her lead a team in space (speaking of, let’s get Daniel Sousa (Enver Gjokaj) and Kora (Dianne Doan) back too!).

While Agents of SHIELD couldn’t use the title of SWORD (we still laugh at “Astro Ambassadors”), it is very clear that Daisy, her husband and her sister are doing SWORDly tasks in space. We already know that SWORD comes into play WandaVision, and we also know that a Secret Invasion series coming to Disney + starring Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Ben Mendelsohn (Talos). Nick Fury is in space. Daisy is in space. Let them meet!

Alphonso “Mack” Mackenzie (Henry Simmons)

In the Agents of SHIELD finale, we learn that Mack has retained his job as director of SHIELD. We know SHIELD is coming back into play Hawkeye, and it would be pretty cool if Mack officially retained his title in the MCU. We still don’t know what Nick Fury is doing in space, but we feel his current focus is on SWORD, especially as Talos and Soren (Sharon Blynn) are still impersonating Fury and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) on Earth . . Mack also has his own helicarrier! Let the man use it!

Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen)

Speaking of SHIELD and Hawkeye, Wen has already made it clear that she would enjoy appearing on the Disney + series. Agent Melinda May is one of the toughest people to ever wear the SHIELD logo and we last saw her teaching at Coulson Academy. It would be great to see more of the Academy in general (“Seeds” is an underrated episode of Season 1 that takes a closer look at the agents in training. I’ve always wanted to see more of the young talent). We might be busy playing Fennec Shand in the Star Wars world, but they could at least save us from a cameo. May and Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) have never crossed each other before. He could use her!

Elena “Yo-Yo” Rodriguez (Natalia Córdova-Buckley)

Speaking of extremely talented Inhumans who are also cartoon characters, we last saw Yo-Yo still working for SHIELD in the field with Agent Piper (Briana Venskus) and LMD Agent Davis (Maximilian Osinski). Just like Mack and May, Hawkeye makes the most sense with the SHIELD connection, but Secret invasion could also be a great place to showcase Elena’s special skills. Heck, put her in there She-Hulk or Mrs. Marvel… There’s no reason Yo-Yo shouldn’t be able to take part in the fray on a Disney + show.

Bobbi “Mockingbird” Morse (Adrianne Palicki)

We all know that Palicki and Nick Blood (Lance Hunter) got a rough deal when they left Agents of SHIELD for their own spin-off, Marvel’s Most Wanted. The show never aired and Palicki was never seen as Bobbi again (but we got one last delightful episode with Blood as Hunter). Mockingbird is another part of Marvel Comics, and fans have made it clear they want to see more of her in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again … Secret invasion is there!

Deke Shaw (Jeff Ward)

I am 100% willing to admit that this choice is completely biased because of my unabashed love for Deke Shaw. Does this request really make sense? Arguably! We last saw Deke in an alternate reality in the 1980s as both a rock god and the head of SHIELD (honestly, that’s quite a show I’d see on my own). Deke had a perfect ending, but I’m greedy and I want more!

It’s pretty clear that the MCU is about to get serious with the multiverse with movies like Spider-Man 3 and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Not to mention that Loki follows the version of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) who escaped Avengers: Endgame, create a new reality again. I would do anything to see Loki swinging at a Deke Squad concert during his interdimensional travels.

Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg)

This is a much more realistic request, as I don’t think anyone is ready to see Gregg’s days in the Marvel Cinematic Universe end. It has been around since 2008 Iron Man, and it’s time the Avengers found out he’s still alive (well, sort of). However, if you’re adamant about holding onto dead Coulson as canon (rude!) I’ll bring up again Loki.

With the God of Mischief standing up for his latest round of shenanigans, it would make sense to see him face to face with the man he once killed. Loki has done a lot of unforgivable things over the years, but killing Coulson was definitely number one.

Hope to see one Agents of SHIELD characters in a Disney + series? Which? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!

All seven seasons of Agents of SHIELD are currently streaming on Netflix.
