‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Star, Chloe Bennet, Spills: Will She Return to the MCU?

After seamlessly weaving its films into a unified fictional universe, the MCU has expanded its reach to television, with several new series recently becoming part of the official canon. Managing such a vast array of storylines and characters is no small feat, making it all the more fascinating to learn how this interconnected universe comes together.

While shows like Daredevil and the X-Men are now firmly established in the MCU, the fate of the cult-favorite series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which ironically has deep connections to the MCU, remains ambiguous. Marvel has yet to officially confirm whether the series is part of the main canon.

This uncertainty has fueled ongoing fan debates about the series and the possibility of its characters making appearances in the larger MCU. One of the most speculated returns has been Chloe Bennet’s Daisy Johnson (Quake).

Although rumors swirled about her potential appearance in Phase 4, it ultimately didn’t materialize. However, the actress recently addressed her potential return with a definitive comment.

Chloe Bennet delivered one of the most standout performances in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., portraying the Inhuman Quake, also known as Skye and Daisy Johnson throughout the series.

Despite the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the show’s canon status, many fans were hopeful she would officially join the MCU during Phase 4. Unfortunately, that never came to pass.

Nevertheless, Bennet’s Quake remains an incredibly popular character, and fans continue to hold out hope for her appearance in the main MCU storyline. In a recent interview with Eric Goldman’s Cultured Pop, the actress shared her thoughts on the possibility of returning to the MCU. Here’s what she had to say:

Cultured Pop: So there were all of these false rumors last year about you coming back. But is it cool just to see that obviously there’s a passionate group who still want this to happen so much that a rumor like that can spread in that way?

Chloe Bennet: It really is. Obviously, I’ve always known the power of the fanbase for S.H.I.E.L.D. We’re small but mighty, or whatever it was called on the show. But I honestly have been surprised by the continuous fervor this far out from the end of the show.

People really thought I… Clark [Gregg] at one point called me and was like, “Dude, you’re doing this and you didn’t tell me?!” I’m like, “Dude, I’m not! I’m not doing it!” I had to ask my team “Am I in this and I don’t know?” They’re like “You’re not.”

We’re really just not included in the new Marvel – whatever universe they’re in now. Which is, I’ll say it here, a shame for Marvel. I think they’re undermining a fanbase and all these characters that I think have much bigger of an impact than people maybe realize. And I would love to do something again. 

I don’t think I’m done playing Daisy. That’s not saying I know anything. I’ve never been approached to do anything. It just doesn’t… I just didn’t feel like I’m done. Right now, with Interior Chinatown, I’m working on the thing that I’ve been most proud of and it’s a really really fun project. But I carry Skye, or Daisy, within me. She’s there!

Cultured Pop: Knowing nothing myself, I also agree that one day, it feels like they’re gonna say “Yeah, it’s time we do this.”

Chloe Bennet: I do think they can’t deny it. If people still are re-watching it… And I would love to do it again now, now having had space away from the project. I was 20 to 27 doing the show. I was a child! I’d be interested in playing Daisy as a real adult.
