Lorraine Cink of Marvel Live zoom's up everybody's favorite spy nerd, Elizabeth Henstridge as they talk about time tripping, losing Fitz and her directing debut (next week) in the final season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
In Season 7 of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are thrust backward in time and stranded in 1931 New York City. With the all-new Zephyr set to time-jump at any moment, the team must hurry to find out exactly what happened. If they fail, it would mean disaster for the past, present and future of the world.
The cast for the season includes Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson, Ming-Na Wen as Agent Melinda May, Chloe Bennet as Daisy Johnson, Elizabeth Henstridge as Agent Jemma Simmons, Iain De Caestecker as Agent Leopold Fitz, Henry Simmons as Director Alphonso “Mack” MacKenzie, Natalia Cordova-Buckley as Elena “Yo-Yo” Rodriguez and Jeff Ward as Deke Shaw.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is the first and longest-running TV series produced by Marvel Studios, having started its run in 2013. Spinning out of the the Marvel Cinematic Universe, S.H.I.E.L.D. restarts the career of Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), miraculously revived after the events of Marvel's The Avengers, as he tries to pull together a task force of operatives that initially include Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen), Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), sci-ops agents Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) and new recruit Daisy 'Skye' Johnson (Chloe Bennet).
Bolstered by walk-ons from the characters such as Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) and Lady Sif (Jaimie Alexander) and crossovers with Captain America: The Winder Soldier, AoS clearly established its connection to the larger MCU. Over time, numerous characters from the Marvel library have appeared such as Deathlok, Ghost Rider and Mockingbird to name a few.
