After successfully integrating its movies into a fictional world with a single plot, the MCU has since expanded to television, with several series joining the official canon recently. Managing so many storylines and characters, of course, takes a lot of work, which is why it’s always interesting to discover more about how this universe was made.
But, while the likes of Daredevil and the X-Men are now part of the MCU, the status of the cult classic Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series, which – ironically – has very close ties to the MCU, is unclear and no one from Marvel is ready to confirm the status of the series just yet.
In light of that, the fans have been discussing the series for a while now, as well as the possibility of its characters appearing in the mainstream MCU.
One of the characters who was heavily rumored to appear was Chloe Bennet’s Daisy Johnson (Quake), whose Phase 4 appearance did not come to life, but the actress recently gave a proper comment on her return.
Chloe Bennet was one of the most memorable characters from the series as a whole. She played the Inhuman Quake, who also went by the names Skye and Daisy Johnson throughout the series.
While the canon status of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is up in the air, many fans believed that she would make an official transition to the MCU during Phase 4, but that never happened.
Still, she is an extremely popular character and fans still want and are hoping to see her in the main MCU narrative. The actress herself recently had an interview interview with Eric Goldman’s Cultured Pop, in which she actually revealed what she thinks of her possible MCU future. Here is what we know:
Cultured Pop: So there were all of these false rumors last year about you coming back. But is it cool just to see that obviously there’s a passionate group who still want this to happen so much that a rumor like that can spread in that way?
Chloe Bennet: It really is. Obviously, I’ve always known the power of the fanbase for S.H.I.E.L.D. We’re small but mighty, or whatever it was called on the show. But I honestly have been surprised by the continuous fervor this far out from the end of the show. P
People really thought I… Clark [Gregg] at one point called me and was like, “Dude, you’re doing this and you didn’t tell me?!” I’m like, “Dude, I’m not! I’m not doing it!” I had to ask my team “Am I in this and I don’t know?” They’re like “You’re not.”
We’re really just not included in the new Marvel – whatever universe they’re in now. Which is, I’ll say it here, a shame for Marvel. I think they’re undermining a fanbase and all these characters that I think have much bigger of an impact than people maybe realize. And I would love to do something again.
I don’t think I’m done playing Daisy. That’s not saying I know anything. I’ve never been approached to do anything. It just doesn’t… I just didn’t feel like I’m done. Right now, with Interior Chinatown, I’m working on the thing that I’ve been most proud of and it’s a really really fun project. But I carry Skye, or Daisy, within me. She’s there!
Cultured Pop: Knowing nothing myself, I also agree that one day, it feels like they’re gonna say “Yeah, it’s time we do this.”
Chloe Bennet: I do think they can’t deny it. If people still are re-watching it… And I would love to do it again now, now having had space away from the project. I was 20 to 27 doing the show. I was a child! I’d be interested in playing Daisy as a real adult.
