“Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” is only up to filming episode 2 of Season 3, but already the cast has a lot to share about the upcoming season.
Zap2it caught up with stars Chloe Bennet, Clark Gregg, Elizabeth Henstridge and Luke Mitchell at ABC’s 2015 summer TV press tour party and got them to spill on the “big” time jump after Season 2, what happened to Simmons and how big a role Hydra has to play.
Also learned along the way: Bennet broke her arm filming Season 2’s single take fight scene, Henstridge has big plans for a FitzSimmons kiss and the crew can’t stop calling Daisy Johnson “Skye.” Here’s a breakdown of what’s ahead.
1. There’s going to be a big time jump
A decent amount of time will pass between the end of Season 2 and the beginning of Season 3 — so much so that much of Coulson’s SHIELD team will have come to terms with Simmons being missing. All but the obvious member, of course.“There’s a big time jump. I feel like everyone’s almost come to terms with it in their own way, except for Fitz,” Bennet explains during a small group interview.
Henstridge says, “It’s Fitz’s mission to get Simmons back. It’s a solo mission. What happened was so crazy and there was no trace of her, that what do you do? She disappeared into this rock that goes to liquid sometimes, but we don’t know why and we don’t know when. I think that the whole team has tried and nothing has worked, so at some point you have to go, ‘She’s gone, we have to move on.’ But Fitz refuses to do that. I don’t blame them, but I’m kind of mad. [laughs]”
2. Daisy and Mack are the new dynamic duo
Bennet will be working with Henry Simmons’ character Mack “a lot more” as they become partners trying to track down Inhumans. “We’re a lot more comfortable around each other this year. It’s like Mulder and Scully, it’s really cool,” she says.Henstridge notes, “Mack’s always been a bit of a skeptic, so him teamed with Daisy’s very interesting because Daisy’s very gung-ho and gives it a try and very ballsy. So their dynamic is really fun. They’ve got very fun scenes together. They play off each other very well.”
