Just in case you've had enough DCTV news for today, here's some interesting developments from the Marvel television universe. The following synopsis for the third season of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. contains quite a few revelations about what we can expect when the show returns in September. For example, we now know that the still unnamed character Constance Zimmer (House Of Cards) is playing will be heading up the ATCU (Advanced Threat Containment Unit), and that he partner Banks will be played by Andrew Howard. Plus, the fairly terrifying looking Inhuman Lash will be portrayed by former NFL football player Matt Willig, and there'll be another Inhuman named Joey (Juan Pablo Raba) joining the fray, too.

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” returns for an action-packed third season, with Director Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and Agent Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet) leading the charge as S.H.I.E.L.D. searches the world for more powered people in the aftermath of their epic battle with Jiaying and her army of Inhumans. However, Coulson and the team soon find out that they are not the only group looking for these new Inhumans.

Many months after their war with a rogue group of Inhumans, the team is still reeling. Coulson is again trying to put the pieces of his once revered organization back together while also dealing with the loss of his hand. His confidante and second in command, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen), has yet to return from an impromptu vacation with ex-husband Andrew (Blair Underwood); deadly superspy Agent Bobbi Morse (Adrianne Palicki) is recovering from her traumatic torture at the hands of Grant Ward (Brett Dalton); Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) is obsessed with discovering the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge); and all are on high-alert for the next move from Ward and Hydra. Ever since the existence of Super Heroes and aliens became public knowledge after the Battle of New York, the world has been trying to come to grips with this new reality.

Coulson assembled a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division). S.H.I.E.L.D.’s mission: to protect those who cannot protect themselves from threats they cannot conceive. But bigger threats loom ahead, setting the stakes even higher for the Agents, including the spread of Terrigen, an alien substance that unlocks superhuman abilities in select individuals; the emergence of new Inhumans who cannot yet control nor understand their powers; the rise of a new government organization that will go toe-to-toe with S.H.I.E.L.D.; the unknown properties of the massive alien Kree monolith, which has taken one of their own; and the constant threat of a rebuilt Hydra terrorist organization under S.H.I.E.L.D. traitor Grant Ward, who is making it his personal mission to take down Coulson and S.H.I.E.L.D.

New faces, both friend and foe, will join the series, including the no-nonsense, highly-skilled and somewhat mysterious leader (Constance Zimmer) of the ATCU (Advanced Threat Containment Unit), her intimidating partner, Banks (Andrew Howard), Lash (Matthew Willig), a monstrous Inhuman whose loyalties remain ambiguous, and new Inhuman Joey (Juan Pablo Raba), who is struggling to harness his newfound abilities, among other surprising characters. Coulson, with the help of Daisy and Mack (Henry Simmons), will work to slowly assemble a team that is stronger than ever before, combining the highly skilled Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with powered individuals in the hopes of protecting the innocent in a world where the balance of power is ever-shifting, and new dangers are constantly emerging."


Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns to ABC at 9 p.m. EST on September 29.

Didn't Black Widow dump all the SHIELD and Hydra files onto the internet at the end of Cap 2? You'd think one of the Avengers would google Coulson and see that he's been resurrected. There shouldn't be any SHIELD or Hydra secrets remaining at this point.

I'm ready for the return of AoS. The second season got so good, and ended on a really high note. This show is definitely one of my favorites.

I can't wait to hear more about The Inhumans movie and the Royal Family, and for casting to start up, probably won't happen for awhile

I'm really thinking that AOS will now focus on powered individuals, whereas Marvel's Most Wanted will be more of a spy mission type show not focusing on people with powers.

I hope we get to see plenty of heroes origins on this show next season. The likes of Speedball, maybe even Quasar.

Music from trailers are hardly in the movies. TDW used Helios from Audiomachine, AOU used "I've Got no Strings" by Disney, Suicide Squad used a Bee Gees song, etc, etc.

@blackandyellow - After dark World, Thor decided to stay on Earth with his girlfriend and did not return to Asgard. Steve Rogers just found out his friend was alive in Winter Soldier. The Avengers got some missions together, and just by the end of Age of Ultron Thor decided to return to Asgard, perhaps something happened in Asgard, since Loki is controling Asgard.

Please no freak of the weak here. CBM don't tend to handle well. There maybe lots of good things about Flash but 'freak of the weak type' wasn't one of them. It lead to lots of pointless fillers. And for AoS moving from that format helped it. AoS S2 proves it all.Give us some 3 to 4 episode mini arcs that could be good but not freak if the weak.

@NosferatuZoddx sounds like Blac Panthers theme...very dark and edgy like TWS had an eerie theme for Bucky. Hopefully this makes it into the film and plays whenever Panther appears

That Thor/Captain America thing you posted cracked me up.

@RorMachine

Couldn't agree more but Daredevil tops all of them.

@NovaCorpsFan

Totally, Cooper needs to come back, Rocket wouldn't be the same without him. I think he will because it's just studio work as far as I know, and the cast had really good chemistry in the interviews and press I saw

@FrozenMarvelite
Was that definitely the music then?

@DrKinsolving
Totally agree. Cooper woned Rocket and his voice was disinctive as hell.
