Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD to have Agent Carter crossover in final season

ABC recently announced the premiere date of Agents of SHIELD’s final season, which is slated to have a crossover with another beloved Marvel series, Agent Carter.

Earlier this week, ABC announced that the seventh and final season of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD  (AOS) will premiere on May 27. This makes AOS Marvel’s longest-running television series to date, and it remains the only Marvel live-action series with direct ties to the MCU. The strength of those ties will be explored even more during the show’s upcoming season, which will feature a crossover with the previously canceled Agent Carter.

Enver Gjokaj is slated to reprise the role of Agent Daniel Sousa, who appeared alongside Hayley Atwell’s Agent Peggy Carter in both seasons of the titular heroine’s show. Sousa was a fan-favorite character who was last seen running the SSR’s Los Angeles bureau while engaged in a romantic relationship with Peggy.

Even though Agent Carter was set in the 1940s and AOS is set in the (relative) present, the team will cross paths with Sousa following their time-jump to the past. Season six ended with Daisy (Chloe Bennet), a LMD Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), and the rest of the team jumping back to New York City in a souped-up Zephyr during the early ’30s on a mission to thwart the Chronicoms’ efforts to travel through time to destroy SHIELD.

We are excited to see what kind of hijinks ensue when our favorite group of agents play with time travel. Given what the MCU did with Avengers: Endgame, I think we could be in for an AOS version of the same. Fingers crossed we get at least a cameo appearance from Bobbie Morse (Adrianne Palicki), whose presence has been missed since her departure as a series regular at the end of season three.

Agents of SHIELD has utilized a diverse and talented cast to bring comic book characters such as Quake, Mockingbird, Ghost Rider, Slingshot, and Graviton to life. The show also broke ground in the MCU by featuring the first Latina (Yo-Yo Rodriguez) and Asian-American (Daisy Johnson) superheroes. The series also crafted memorable characters that were created solely for the show, like Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker), Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge), and Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen). Characters from the MCU who have appeared throughout the series include Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury, Cobie Smulders’ Maria Hill, and Jaimie Alexander’s Lady Sif.
