It’s ‘Daisy’ now
The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. panel all but confirmed a massive change in the series’s lingo.
“We no longer refer to her as “Skye,” Jeph Loeb said. “We refer to her as Daisy Johnson.” Similarly, a skit filmed by Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon featured an “It’s Daisy now!” jar, where poor Maurissa plunked a dollar every time she reverted to the name “Skye.”
The cast has really gelled
The chemistry between old and new actors was evident onstage — even though their characters are often in conflict. (Yes, several jokes were made at Hydra’s expense.) Adrianne Palicki (Bobbi Morse) referred to the show as a family, and a hilarious blooper reel made a clear that they never take themselves too seriously.
… and neither are they above practical jokes from time to time.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is recruiting
When an adorable little girl named Amelia asked if she could join S.H.I.E.L.D., Clark Gregg made an intriguing announcement.
“One of the things we’re most proud of is that Anyone can run S.H.I.E.L.D.,” he said. “We have a number of very strong women who may be running S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future.”
Brett Dalton, of course, offered Amelia a top position at Hydra as well.
In addition, one new Inhuman member was announced — a powered character called Lash will be joining Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3.
Simmons might be seriously dead
The Tancharoen/Whedon video was mostly light-hearted (the words “Season 3 Ideas” headed up a blank whiteboard) but there was an edge of seriousness to the proceedings.
Dartboard with actor’s names aside, a list titled “Who should we kill this season?” included Simmons’s name — followed by the words “Already very dead.”
The shock – echoed by Elizabeth Henstridge on the stage — wasn’t assuaged by the (admittedly hilarious) appearance of BJ Britt in the video. While fans scrambled to make sense of the new information, Britt joked, “I know who you guys should bring back!”
