Things are going to be different when “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” returns for season 4. The organization has been legitimized once again and we’ll also be introduced to a new director.
At the end of season 3 Phil Coulson and company were hunting for Daisy, and it was revealed that Could is no longer the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Jason O’Mara will be stepping up as the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. when the show returns, but as of right now the true identity of O’Mara’s character remains a mystery.
Although we may not know who Jason O’Mara is playing be did offer a small clue.
“It’s a manly name,” O’Mara teased. “Yes, a very manly name.”
TV Line has also released the first official photo of O’Mara as the new director and you can check it out below.
In light of the Sokovia Accords, and with Hydra obliterated, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been legitimatized again and no longer needs to operate in the shadows. Since the world presumes that Coulson is dead, the organization needed a new Director (Jason O’Mara) to be the face of the organization. Coulson finds himself back in the role as an agent and teamed with Mack (Henry Simmons), and together they are tasked with tracking down and confirming the presence of Enhanced people, aka Inhumans. They have been trying to track down and capture Daisy (Chloe Bennet), aka Quake, who has gone rogue in an attempt to atone for sins from the past. But with the world believing that Daisy is a dangerous outlaw who has taken down banks and bridges, the new Director has no qualms about taking her down for good. Agent May (Ming-Na Wen) is tasked with training specialist strike teams, and Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) have taken a big step forward in their relationship. But with Simmons’ new promotion as Special Advisor to the Director in Science and Technology, Fitz, as well as her former team members, finds it hard to confide in or trust her since she’s now the Director’s confidant.
