SHIELD Debuts New Episode and Teases More Inhumans
At New York Comic Con tonight, Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb and Agent Coulson himself, Clark Gregg, introduced a new episode of Agents of SHIELD.
Beforehand, there was a quick Q&A, during which the subject of the Inhumans role in Season 2 came up. Gregg observed that the show was following what happens when people show up with these abilities, who seem somehow different, and some people want to “Legislate or militarily eradicate.” Added Gregg, “That seems topical to me.”
One fan asked if anyone else, besides Daisy, could be revealed as a latent Inhuman, now that Terrigen has been released. Loeb coyly replied, “We don’t know who or what any of our team is,” but noted that it will be “exciting” to discover more.

accepted very quickly. And it was the only actor which we thought was obvious. So we started with the actor, which is incongruous. Even more incongruous, he engaged us with nothing. There was no script, no studio or anything. We told him we were going to build the project together, we have a huge brand and we want to make a make a film with references to feature films like Batman Begins and Blade Runner. That is why we tend to. He was promised that he could work with the writers, we would associate it with all key creative choices."
