We're not far away from the regular TV season's return, and the cast of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. have been hard at work prepping for Season 3. "I've been shooting all day and it's been crazy," Chloe Bennet told IGN, "[Episode] 302 is definitely one of the biggest episodes we’ve ever done." They'll be hard pressed to top that action-packed finale from Season 2, but Bennet has promised "a lot of action" and "a lot of CGI", in addition to adjusted character dynamics for next year.
"I'm working Mack a lot more," she revealed, "We're partners this year so you’ll see a time jump and how we’re really comfortable around each other. It's like Mulder and Scully." She also hinted that Skye's (well... 'Daisy's) relationship with her former mentor Coulson has evolved too. "They're definitely more on a co-worker level this year. It’s more of a collaborative effort and he’s really trusted the effort he’s put into raising his protégé."
We recently got our first look at the actress sporting a shorter haircut - a nod to her character's comic book origins as 'Daisy Johnson/Quake'. Bennet claims she and the writers have fully embraced Skye's new identity. "She's Daisy Johnson now!" she proclaimed, "Yeah, she’s grown up this year which is hard for me to play because I’m four years old. You’ll see a much more mature version of Daisy... She’s kind of no nonsense now and shorter hair makes more sense for that."
One element of the show that Bennet was a little more tight-lipped about was the dynamic between SHIELD and the Inhumans going forward into Season 3. As a member of both parties, Skye/Daisy will undoubtedly play a big role in uniting, possibily via 'The Secret Warriors'. "She’s as loyal to the Inhumans as she is to SHIELD," Bennet promised, "But she’s really about making them work together. It’s about making it a collaborative effort."
In addition to the details above, Bennet teased a "struggle" between her character and Luke Mitchell's 'Lincoln' over their opposing ideas about the Inhumans' role in society - as well as an "obvious attraction" between the pair. She was also unable to confirm whether the incoming 'Lash' would be a villain - only promising that the energy-wielding Inhuman looks incredibly "awesome".
Agents Of SHIELD Season 3 premieres Tuesday, September 29 on ABC.
