AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Extended Trailer Offers A Sneak Preview Of The Space Madness To Come
In case you were still holding out hope that Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was tied into the MCU, it looks like the latest twist may have essentially confirmed that that is not the case. Check it out!
Well, that was shocking to say the least.
We knew going into the two-hour premiere that the series would pick up shortly after Agent Coulson and his team found themselves in outer space, but that was hardly the most shocking reveal as we learned that they're not just in space, they've actually transported decades (centuries?) into the future after Daisy (yes, Daisy, not Thanos) destroyed the Earth.
Now, while that's a lot to digest, it does seem as though that may be more than enough evidence to provide definitive proof that this series does, in fact, not take place within Kevin Feige's Marvel Cinematic Universe. That's realistically the only explanation unless Thanos' impending invasion of Earth in Avengers: Infinity War and the untitled Avengers 4 left no lasting impact on the planet's history and the Avengers won the battle pretty easily, which, based on last week's trailer, seems hard to believe.
Additionally, executive producers Jed Whedon and Jeff Bell have confirmed that the show will not tie into the movies at all this season, meaning don't expect to see any connections to either Black Panther or Avengers: Infinity War. Bell explains, "The literalness of it is logistically impossible. Last year, because of Doctor Strange, that allowed us to expand our universe to include Ghost Rider, and other dimensions, and the Darkhold." He continues a bit further, elaborating on how films like James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy helped the series expand into space and beyond. "The Guardians movies have also now allowed us to expand into worlds that we really couldn’t before. So having aliens, having ships, having these other aspects does resonate with the movies, but the next movie doesn’t come out until May, which is after we’re done."

DAISY'S MISSION TO RESCUE SIMMONS COULD DOOM THEM ALL, ON ABC'S 'MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.'
"A Life Spent" - Daisy decides she will rescue Simmons - even if it means risking everything to do it, on "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," FRIDAY, DEC. 8 (9:01-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.
In light of the Sokovia Accords, and with Hydra obliterated, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been legitimatized again and no longer needs to operate in the shadows. Since the world presumes that Coulson is dead, the organization needed a new Director (Jason O’Mara) to be the face of the organization. Coulson finds himself back in the role as an agent and teamed with Mack (Henry Simmons), and together they are tasked with tracking down and confirming the presence of Enhanced people, aka Inhumans. They have been trying to track down and capture Daisy (Chloe Bennet), aka Quake, who has gone rogue in an attempt to atone for sins from the past. But with the world believing that Daisy is a dangerous outlaw who has taken down banks and bridges, the new Director has no qualms about taking her down for good. Agent May (Ming-Na Wen) is tasked with training specialist strike teams, and Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) have taken a big step forward in their relationship. But with Simmons’ new promotion as Special Advisor to the Director in Science and Technology, Fitz, as well as her former team members, finds it hard to confide in or trust her since she’s now the Director’s confidant.
