Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe looks to bring more new faces into the picture than we’ve seen for a long time, with The Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings marking the first time in a decade that two new franchises have been launched in the same year, along with the characters that are set to be introduced in the Disney Plus shows.
It isn’t exactly a clean slate, but the next few years nonetheless mark a brave new dawn for the MCU, with Kevin Feige keen to push forward and expand the scope of the movies when it could have been all too easy to simply rest on their laurels and keep churning out formulaic sequels that are guaranteed to be box office hits.
We’ve already reported on speculation that Nick Fury’s time as the man behind the Avengers could be drawing to a close, and now we’ve heard that a prominent S.H.I.E.L.D. agent from the comic books could be set to make her debut in the build-up to the fifth Avengers movie.
According to our sources – the same ones who told us Taskmaster would be the main villain in Black Widow and Ahsoka Tano will appear in The Mandalorian – Daisy Johnson, better known by her code-name Quake, is set to be introduced into the MCU and will eventually play to a prominent part in the next Avengers outing. The character will reportedly have a role similar to the one currently occupied by Maria Hill, with the added benefit of having superpowers herself.
Obviously, Daisy has been the lead in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. since the show’s inception, but with the upcoming seventh season set to be the last, along with the confirmation that the Marvel TV projects are no longer considered canon in regards to the movies, the path is cleared for Kevin Feige to pretend that the series never existed and ‘debut’ Quake on the big screen.
