During a WonderCon panel, several members of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fielded numerous questions from the show’s fans. Most of these questions were focused directly on the show itself, until one fan asked what effects (if any) the highly anticipated Avengers: Infinity War will have on the show's future.
This question was ultimately answered by Jed Whedon, one of the show’s showrunners, who started things off by expressing his own feeling on the film’s trailer: “If you watched the trailer, a lot of sh*t goes down!” Whedon followed this statement by saying, “these are the kinds of questions we can do everything but answer,” clarifying what he can say a bit. Likely knowing how some fans may respond to this answer, the showrunner did elaborate a little more by recalling previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films that had an impact on the series: “The movies blaze a path. When Doctor Strange came out it introduced us to magic which gave us Ghost Rider; when [Guardians of the Galaxy] came out, we were introduced to space. We are waiting for that movie to come out so it can open a new playground for us."
Though these statements don't confirm that Infinity War will have a direct impact on the show, it does suggest we can expect, at the very least, a loose connection between the two. But what do you folks think? Do you think there's a chance this will happen, and if so, will it be in a large or small way?
