Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 confirmed. What do you want to see in the next season

[Shoppy]

I wonder if we might see some subtle hints towards the Netflix series .... Maybe dropping Matt Murdoch's name in or having an episode with a New York connection that introduces a future Daredevil villain.

Also I think we might get some crossing over of story with Agent Carter

Then of course there's Avengers:Age Of Ultron out in may, so there's also the question of whether the Agents Of Shield season 2 finale will lead up to it or frame it in the MCU timeline?


...

I'm glad there's a Deathlok wandering round the MCU now, I've always seen adding more superheroes to the universe as something a series should be doing.

Triplett could become The Patriot ...(that's been suggested by someone before). .... and as he's the Grandson of a "Howling Commando" that could be a thread that crosses over with Agent Carter?

What would be great would be an after credit scene (AoU) with the Agents of SHIELD - it would be a great way to promote the show.

 

[Heretic]

I would DEFINITELY prefer that any Coulson in the movies were to be handled in a comedic credits scene. There is no need to complicate the movie itself by bringing him in...but to settle the issue of them not knowing that he's alive, just throw him in for a shawarma type scene to promote the show.

I would ABSOLUTELY hate that. Coulson's death was incredibly emotional in the avengers, and we need to see them respond to not only the fact that he is alive but that there's another layer of secrecy and lies. That would be like (spoilers for arrow ep 20)

Spoiler

Moira coming back in the third season and having Oliver laugh about how funny that is.

That would be terrible

 

[Heretic]

In that case, leave Coulson out of the movies, which is my actual preference. I don't need a movie about every tiny little detail. "Oh, Victoria Hand must still be alive, she's needed for more stories" etc etc etc etc etc etc. It's so boring. Coulson died in a movie, and most of those viewers aren't watching the tv show. You can't just bring him into a movie without making it a plot point...and I've already watched these plot points on tv. I don't want 5 minutes of movie time with him explaining the plot of Agents of Shield. I'm shocked that people like you do, just for the thrill of seeing the actor on screen with other movie actors again.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they end up doing.Anyone thinking Phil wil show up at an Avengers meeting,sit down and say "Hey guys.Let me get you caught up." is bound to be disappointed.

It'll probably be a ten second joke,and the following episode that airs will be Coulson telling the team something humorous about the meeting."Thor was so happy.I never saw a god cry before."t:

 

[Heretic]

The problem is that his presence in a movie derails the point. Let's say they bring him into Avengers 2 to explain the info they have about Kree and humans with super powers etc. He'd first have to explain his own resurrection, and how they then found out that it was an alien corpse serum that brought him back etc and THEN go into the actual plot describing why the twins have powers. It is just a really big waste of precious movie time, derailing the plot for a few minutes just to get people caught up.

Sif seemed pretty satisfied with Coulson's "SHIELD had a few tricks of their own" to me. I imagine a scene like that in Avengers 2 would have to be slightly more developed than what we had with her, but it wouldn't have to be pedantic to the point of detailing the whole season 1 of Agents of SHIELD either. And we don't know in what context would Coulson show himself to be alive to the Avengers; it could easily be as to provide, yet again, motivation to the team to go up against Ultron in the final battle, as, say, a living statement that even the impossible can be possible.

I'd rather they do this sooner than later. It's a situation that'll grow incredibly ridiculous as the seasons go by and we still have to hear he say "oh, yeah, that's right, he/she thinks I'm dead".

 

[Heretic]

I'd rather they just have a cameo in AoS from one of the main guys, tell Coulson that he'll pass the info along...and then just never put Coulson in a movie again. He can lay low doing stuff on the ground level. Stuff in Avengers movies are so far above his skill level that he's just taking up space in very crowded movies. The SHIELD involvement in those films as the roster continues to grow should be kept to a tiny minimum.

 

[coluanprime]

I feel like not having him in the movies would feel cheap. I don't want him to stay on the small screen, I'd love to see him hop back and forth. Also when you guys are saying it would derail the plot a) every event in a movie derails the plot and b) now he's the Director, he can just say "That's Classified". I'd love for him to show up in Avengers 2 with some crucial file, when asked for an explanation he can say "That's classified" and then he co-ordinate the b-plot perhaps with a cameo from one or two of his team members.

 

[chronos]

Realistically, in his position as the new Director of SHIELD and his history with the rest of the Avengers, leaving him out of the movies would be quite awkward and kind of a blow to the inter-connectivity to the universe they've set up. I'm not sure his SHIELD will be built up enough to make a major impact in AOU, in fact Ultron is probably partially created to help fill the hole left after the HYDRA takeover, what with Tony privatizing world peace. I could certainly see Coulson being a player in Cap 3 though.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

At least one episode with more of the Coulson/Fury bromance. Obviously you can't bring in Samuel L. Jackson too often, but come on, how great was their back-and-forth?

This!
and
- Bobbi Morse aka Mockingbird
-Contessa Valentina
and this is purely me dreaming but
-Ares looking for his Kid would be Freaking AWESOME!
-Ward turning in a full blown %^&HEAD supervillian ala taskmaster, Grim Reaper or this dude ANGAR the Screamer

( freaking hydra could break him out and surgically enhance his larynx after all Mai did fractured it!)
- more Howling commandos relatives
- and yeah maybe some cool ass new shield uniforms! the suit and tie %^ is getting old!( maybe coulson could get a eyepatch!

I have faith in Joss Whedon and Marvel to not add new characters just for the sake of fan pandering.

TA did really well with its extended cast; there isn't a single one of them that feels underused to me. Since a) we no longer need to assemble the Avengers and b) SHIELD is no longer this big, huge, secretive organization, with it being reduced, more or less, to Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Phil Coulson and his team (which is unlikely to even be shown on screen, the Bus being a nice visual cue for us to understand that they're involved, even if we do not see them), chances are we'll have even more room for character development for the Avengers themselves.

Personally, I see the remaining SHIELD acting much more as a support group to the leading Avengers than the "commanders-in-chief" to the action that they were for most of TA. In such scenario, Fury, Hill and Coulson would still have roles to do, but much more limited than before.

But I digress. As far as the purpose of the thread goes, I'd like to see Ward's family and more of his relationship with them. I feel gold stuff could come out of it, especially if his father or older brother turn out to be some behind-the-scenes villain.

 

[reddog271]

Since Phil is now the Director of Shield. he would have to be in the movies

Unless SHIELD is no longer a focus in the films

 

[summitxho]

I want to see some interaction between Tony and Coulson where he finds out he is alive. I think we will have to wait for Avengers 2 for this, but I have been waiting for this moment, I think it will be great, the actors seem to have some good chemistry together.

 

[reddog271]

can you really have the avengers without the shield? Don't they kinda of and I'm saying kinda... work for Shield?

 

[summitxho]

Perhaps as a way to lead in to the start up of S.W.O.R.D? Would be weird not to have Shield around however, but I wonder if this is somehow an introduction to the former. Basically a revamped Shield to deal with threats in space as well, would tie into the direction of the Guardians and potentially Avengers 3 with Thanos? Just a thought.

 

[ctsketch]

Nope. There is no more shield. The best guess is they will have their own base and own funding like they do in the comics. In AoU we will probably see them based out of the tower and funded by Stark as "privatized world security"

 

[SonOfIvaldi]

These days avengers towers is SHIELD - only Hill knows about Coulson

 

[The Englishman]

The introduction of MI-13, Union Jack (Joey Chapman) and Captain Britain....

 

[AquamanOS]

They said the whole reason they took SHIELD out to begin with was because they wanted the Avengers to stand on their own, without having to worry about why not they don't go everywhere with massive SHIELD backup.

Avengers 1 explained that by having the Helicarrier attack crippling them, but now they have enough problems rationalizing why other Avengers aren't showing up and stealing the solo heroes thunder in the post Avengers films, nevermind why SHIELD isn't doing so.

So they took down SHIELD as a massive organization. Sure Coulson's team will keep in alive in some form but it will likely involve no more Helicarriers, billions of dollars to use and whole armies of agents.

So yeah not only can you have the Avengers without SHIELD, but that seems to be exactly what the producers want.

 

[seahammer]

The introduction of MI-13, Union Jack (Joey Chapman) and Captain Britain....

I think this is a cool idea. With SHIELD being destroyed and rebuilt, they would have to rely on other organizations for resources/manpower for various missions. A short arc with the group teaming up with MI-13 would be cool. I've said before how I'd incorporate some of Skye's "Rising Tide" contacts, too (if they exist).

 

[Alex_Kidd]

Amy Johnston as Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird
Neil Patrick Harris as Clay Quartermain
Jay Chou as Agent Wo
Tyler Mane as G.W. Brdige
Emilie Autumn as Abigail Brand (ok, this is a fantasy)

Change of flags:

Cybertek and the Quinn Worldwide (somehow) become the first 2 "wallets" for the new SHIELD and especially the Cybertek will become a safe dock for the need of technology and base for Deathlock (that will achieve his final form more similar to the comic book)

So the premise would be to re-build SHIELD with name characters. Not a bad idea.

I could almost see Cybertek helping SHIELD, now that the "incentives" program is presumably gone. They'd just be working for $$ now, good or bad.

But I don't see Quinn working with SHIELD. He's too self-interested. He's got the Gravitonium (right?), and once Dr. Hall emerges, i think that Quinn will either manipulate him or (more likely) be Graviton's first casualty.
