MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Returns in a First Look at Season 7

The Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. team is set to return for one final spin around the block on May 27, 2020.

…Y’know just for old time’s sake. And to save the world from the threat of the Chronicoms and their dastardly plot to make Earth their new home.

And to possibly save Hydra.

Wait. What?

That’s right. While season’s six’s finale episode explained some details about the Chronicoms plans to infiltrate Earth’s past in order to establish it as their new home-world, Chronica-3, a new sneak peek clip and trailer combo give us a first look at how their goals will be achieved.

Shadowhunters fans will instantly recognise Luke Bains (aka Clary’s evil brother Jonathan) in fine and creepy form, literally face-stealing the identity of a 1930’s New York cop. Knowing the Chronicom’s ability to assume new skins whenever necessary, it makes sense that their plans may involve assuming the identities of key people throughout history.

However, it’s a brief conversation between Daisy and LMD Coulson (we’re definitely not hating on that idea) that raises the most eyebrows.

Daisy asks, “So you’re saying that to save S.H.I.E.L.D…” only for Coulson to finish her thought. “We have to save Hydra.”

It appears that the S.H.I.E.L.D. team’s efforts to save the future may hinge on their ability to alter the past — even if that means coming to the rescue of some of its least savoury elements.  With a tagline for season 7 hinting “Change the past to rescue to the future” we know this is not going to be straightforward time-travel storyline.
