One of many fundamental Brokers of SHIELD actors addresses the present’s place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe canon. Whereas it has been half a decade for the reason that Brokers of SHIELD characters completed their run, the ABC drama continues to stay certainly one of Marvel’s hottest TV exhibits to at the present time, whereas additionally rising its viewers everywhere in the world by means of streaming and residential media.
Nonetheless, a giant query surrounding the longest-running Marvel TV sequence is its place within the MCU timeline, regardless of initially beginning off as an precise spinoff from 2012’s The Avengers. As many viewers members are pissed off in regards to the present’s lack of place within the canon, one of many main stars of the Marvel spy drama has very related emotions on the matter.
Throughout her look at this yr’s DragonCon (through @dailybennet,) Chloe Bennet, who performed Daisy Johnson, often known as Quake, opened up extra about her ideas on Brokers of SHIELD not being totally acknowledged as canon to the bigger MCU. Whereas addressing the canon scenario, Bennet additionally agreed that Quake ought to have appeared in Disney+’s Secret Invasion sequence, as she shared the next:
Chloe Bennet: I’m not enjoying a bit. This isn’t a joke. I don’t know something; they haven’t requested me. If they’d, you realize me, I can’t hold a secret, I’d let you know guys. We aren’t actually thought of canon. I feel the present will make some bizarre, random comeback. Like if it will get placed on one other streamer or one thing. However as of now, no, and I agree that I might have been in Secret Invasion, however I wasn’t. In all probability would have been higher.
When Brokers of SHIELD first started in 2013, the ABC present was being instantly marketed as an MCU property, even with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige having acknowledged that notion in quite a few interviews. With Agent Phil Coulson additionally being on the middle of the sequence, there have been additionally cameos from gamers like Nick Fury and Maria Hill to solidify the MCU connection.
On condition that a number of the earlier Brokers of SHIELD seasons additionally had direct results on numerous MCU films, it makes the later disconnect even weirder, to say the least. The redevelopment of Marvel Tv throughout the Disney+ period has left the door open for the ABC characters to return and proceed their journeys by means of The Multiverse Saga.
Even after the best way Brokers of SHIELD season 7 ended, there have been a number of choices to make use of the characters in later MCU releases, which is why the notion of Quake being in Secret Invasion turned as standard because it did with followers. However since Marvel Studios is making issues extra difficult than it must be, Bennet’s feedback are justified.
Given how standard Brokers of SHIELD was throughout its ABC run, and even after its ending, it is comprehensible to listen to Bennet feeling the best way she does, particularly as there may be far more they will do with Quake within the bigger MCU. Having Quake as a part of the Secret Invasion solid would have labored completely with Nick Fury’s story, whereas serving as a pure bridge from Brokers of SHIELD.
Nonetheless, there may be hope for Brokers of SHIELD’s canon standing, as Marvel Tv’s Brad Winderbaum advised ScreenRant completely in 2024 that they need to discover methods to combine the Marvel-ABC exhibits into the franchise. It might not be till after The Multiverse Saga is over, provided that the MCU is getting a reset by means of the occasions of Avengers: Secret Wars.
As soon as the MCU timeline has been retooled, which may be the place it will get simpler for Marvel Studios to combine numerous gamers from Bennet’s present, together with herself. Hopefully, even when it needs to be someday in Part 7 or past, the MCU viewers has ideally not seen the final of the Brokers of SHIELD characters.
