Constance Zimmer’s character is revealed in stills and a new description for the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3 premiere.
The premiere episode, titled “Laws of Nature,” looks like it will deal with anything but the natural order — at least as it was previously understood.
“When Coulson and the team discover a new Inhuman, S.H.I.E.L.D. comes face to face with another organization searching for powered people,” says ABC’s episode description. “And still reeling from Simmons’ dramatic disappearance, Fitz goes to extreme lengths to try to learn how to get her back.”
Sadly, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3 premiere photos don’t offer any further clues about Fitz or Simmons. Nor, in fact, do they give fans a glimpse at what May, Bobbi, and Hunter have been up to since we left them in May (the month, that is.)
Instead, the images offer a look at the new Inhuman introduced in the synopsis – Joey Guttierrez (Juan Pablo Raba), who looks like he woke up on the wrong side of the fish oil, if you know what we mean. In an almost eerie mirror of Skye’s actions back in the series premiere, Coulson appears to be capturing evidence of Joey’s troubles… though the camera doesn’t show us any hint of Coulson’s troublesomely missing hand.
Present instead is one Rosalind Price, played by Constance Zimmer in a rather chilling Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. debut. Andrew Howard also makes his first appearance as her dangerous-looking sidekick, Banks.
Rosalind Price, who leads the Active Threat Containment Unit, has no apparent parallel in Marvel comics – though her role may develop similarly to characters like S.W.O.R.D. leader Abigail Brand. In any event, Price has landed her position at ATCU due to the explosion of powered humans popping up in every direction – and isn’t too keen on S.H.I.E.L.D. trying to do what she sees as her job.
Other stills offer more familiar faces, as Lincoln, Daisy, and Mack hold some kind of confrontation in a hospital. At least this time, it doesn’t seem like anyone is at a horrendous risk of dying. (For now, anyway.)
More information about Daisy was recently revealed with the unveiling of her new badass super-suit, and in the first preview for the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3 premiere.
And a bit more information about Ward has been dribbled out by TV Line, who share a featurette on the baddie from his first scene.
“When we first see Ward, there is a man on a [car] hood for dear life,” Brett Dalton shares. “And I’m at the wheel giving a dissertation, essentially, about what this new chapter of Hydra is gonna be about.”
Knowing Ward, someone is definitely going to fail that test.
The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3 premiere, “Laws of Nature,” airs on Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 9:00 p.m. on ABC.
