Promotional photos
Marvel Television and ABC have already released the new promotional images for the Season 3 of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” that had the fans of the TV series based on Marvel Comics, really excited.
In addition to Clark Gregg and Chloe Bennett, other stars of the TV series include Ming-Na Wen as Agent Melinda May, Brett Dalton as Grant Ward, Iain De Caestecker as Agent Leo Fitz, Elizabeth Henstridge as Agent Jemma Simmons, Nick Blood as Agent Lance Hunter, Adrianne Palicki as Agent Bobbi Morse, Henry Simmons as Agent Alphonso ‘Mack’ MacKenzie, and Luke Mitchell as Lincoln Campbell, details Comicbook.com.
The premiere episode of Season 3 is officially titled “Laws of Nature.” It will show Coulson and his team discovering the new Inhumans and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will come face to face with another organization searching for powered people.
The team will also be reeling from the dramatic disappearance of Simmons, but Fitz will go to extreme lengths just to learn how to get her back.
Plenty of ideas for the character
Right after the Season 2 finale, executive producer Jeffrey Bell said that the creative team has a lot of ideas for Luke Mitchell and his character Lincoln in the series.
In the series finale of Season 2, Lincoln turned to Jiaying after she launched an attack on the S.H.I.E.L.D. carrier but eventually switched allegiances and enabled Lincoln to help Skye and the rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. save the world from the deadly ginger army known as Terrigen Mists.
Bell said that Mitchell was a remarkable addition to the series in the past season that is why it was easy to make a decision that would make the Australian actor a series regular for the third season.
Towards the end of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Season 2, Phil Coulson handed Skye a folder with the label ‘Caterpillars’ on it, which was a reference to Jonathan Hickman and Stefano Caselli’s secret warriors.
Everyone knows that Nick Fury runs several different sects of sleeper agents and each one is called a ‘caterpillar’ team. It looks like Lincoln would be taken in as Skye’s first recruit as she forms her own caterpillar team.
“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is also referred to sometimes as “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” because the series actually originated from Marvel Comics.
