Eat it, Inhumans
Uh, that was fast.Season 6 ofMarvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.hasn’t even aired yet, but ABC and Marvel Television were already ready to announce that the first MCU television show will be back for a seventh season. The sixth season is currently filming for a premiere sometime in summer of 2019, with a 13-episode order (as opposed to the usual 22 episodes)—similarly, season 7 will also have a shortened episode count, according toTHR.
The news from ABC comes not long after Netflix canceled fellow Marvel Television programsIron FistandLuke Cage, and reports that Marvel Studios is moving forward with their own television shows, witha Scarlet Witch show,a Falcon and Winter Soldier show, and aconfirmedLoki show, all for streaming service Disney+. Last we heard from ABC’s Marvel ambitions was afemale superhero project fromWonder Womanscreenwriter Allan Heinberg.
The early announcement is quite curious, though. As stated before season 6 is still in the midst of filming, with Coulson actor Clark Gregg having directed the season premiere. With the next season coming after the untitled fourthAvengersfilm, these upcoming two seasons will probably be free from any shackles that the events in that film might present. It’s a shame, however, thatAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.had to eatIron FistandLuke Cagealive to survive.
You can see Agent Phil Coulson (albeit a younger one) in Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel—thefilm’s traileroffers a slight glimpse of Gregg’s CGI face.
