AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Star Chloe Bennet Rumored To Make MCU Return; Update On X-MEN Reboot's Storm Casting

Not for the first time, it's being reported that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Chloe Bennet is being eyed to reprise her role as Daisy Johnson/Quake in a future MCU project. We also have a Storm update...

Love or hate Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., there's no denying that the show introduced many great characters. Chloe Bennet's Quake was among them, and while her journey from being Skye to Daisy Johnson was pretty convoluted, she's someone fans would love to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

Rumours about a potential return have swirled for years, with Bennet both teasing and denying her involvement with the MCU on multiple occasions.

Today, scooper @MyTimeToShineH brings word that Bennet is "coming back" as the character. With it looking increasingly more likely that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. took place in an alternate reality not unlike Earth-616, it's possible the group could be part of the Multiversal Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Beyond that, the comic book Quake has ties to teams like the Secret Warriors and even The Avengers, so who knows how she'll be utilised by Marvel Studios if and when this supposed return happens. 

For what it's worth, the insider (who, despite being a divisive figure, has had several "scoops" confirmed by the trades in recent weeks) has reaffirmed reports that Cynthia Erivo (Wicked) is being eyed to play Storm in the MCU. 

As noted, Bennet was introduced in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as a newly created character called Skye. However, as the series progressed, we learned that she was, in fact, Daisy Johnson. As an Inhuman, "Skye" eventually gained superpowers and, like her comic book counterpart, became the superhero known as Quake.

Bennet shined as that version of the character, and while changes would need to be made to Daisy (we're guessing she'd be a mutant rather than an Inhuman), there are many franchises that could benefit from Quake's involvement.  

"We're really just not included in the new Marvel - whatever universe they're in now," Bennet said last November. "Which is, I'll say it here, a shame for Marvel. I think they're undermining a fanbase and all these characters that I think have much bigger of an impact than people maybe realize. And I would love to do something again."

"I don't think I'm done playing Daisy. That's not saying I know anything. I've never been approached to do anything. It just doesn't... I just didn't feel like I'm done," she continued. "I was 20 to 27 doing the show. I was a child! I'd be interested in playing Daisy as a real adult."

Do you think we'll see Quake in the MCU? And would Erivo be a worthy successor to Halle Berry and Alexandra Shipp as Storm?

@dagenspear - if you think Agents of Shield is better than Loki than I laugh at you. You must love CW garbage cause AoS is no better than that.

@TheLobster - Or you like things that may have a solid enough first season writing construction wise and then a meandery and I think pretentious second season that to me fizzles out story and character wise and also I think a fairly stupid and random pointless sub plot about a CGI talking clock wanting to hook up with Kang who doesnt become Kang and then wants revenge for being rejected and you call AOS CW trash

An Agents' actor stated to make an MCU "return" and not a "debut"? Are we sure this is a @JoshWilding article?

Good to hear about Quake, bad to hear about Storm. not to body shame, but no one wants a 4 foot 80 pound Storm.

Yes please!!.

I liked Chloe Bennett’s performance and that version of Daisy so I would be down to see her again , hopefully alongside Sousa.

Also AOS was part of the MCU but due to its own time travel shenanigans , you could say it really started to divert from that timeline then.

Hope the Quake rumors are true! Chloe is a good actress and Doomsday/Secret Wars being a celebration of all things Marvel AoS deserves to get its flowers too.

Cynthia Erivo is a solid actress, but she will be 40 by the time X-Men starts filming and I don't see how that meshes with Marvel looking to cast young (mid-20's/early-30's) for the team. Storm should be around the age of the Og5, not noticeably older.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 5/18/2025, 12:51 PM
@1stDalek - they could go for an X-Men Evolution approach where Storm was older and a teacher while Cyclops & Jean were high school/college age

User Comment Image

I like Erivo and think she could pull off Storm but I think someone like a Jodie Turner Smith would be better
1stDalek
1stDalek - 5/18/2025, 1:59 PM
@TheVisionary25 - I love that show so much, I'd be down for a similar set-up! Agree on Jodie Turner Smith being a stronger choice, specially if this is the age range they're looking at.

@TheVisionary25 - I would rather they go with canon. Scott is and should be the first recruited X-Man. It rubbed me the wrong way when Alex was an X-Man before Scott. It’s all backwards. I want the original 5 to be the original 5, even if they are not the main team in the first movie. I would also be fine and this might be best if we got the original 5 along with some Giant Size X-Men members as part of the original team, say including Ororo, Kurt and Peter.

@RolandD - I think they could start with the 97 roster. But especially when facing original X5 enemies do flashbacks with the original 5 fighting them. Do flashbacks of the 5.
RolandD
RolandD - 5/19/2025, 4:49 PM
@hue66 - I wove okay with an acknowledgment of the OG 5. The 97 roster is not my favorite roster. My favorite roster is Scott , Jean Giant-Size X-Men plus Kitty which probably gives you a clue as to how old I am but as long as they stay pretty much true to the characters,I could be okay with a lot of combos. Just don’t give me Wolverine including some focus on other X-Men. I want a true ensemble with some focus on specific characters as befitting the story.

10 years ago guys on here were going on about how hot she and Emily Bett Rickards were supposed to be. Bennet looks much better than anti-sexy Rickards ever did but their EXTREME lack of careers after doing their TV shows is proof that they never had it.

Each of them have no doubt went out and miserably struck out in the audition game. They should each look for careers outside of acting.

@ManDeth - so only attractive women can have acting roles in your eyes?

For once, I wish Josh would post something that said “this is an actual rumor” instead of whatever he thought of five minutes ago.

I’ve been not so secretly hoping for all or many of the AoS characters to reappear as alternate versions of their TV show selves, and either be a SHIELD team that had been in the shadows all this time (perhaps having diverged from the timeline around Season 5 or 6), or to be clean slates who meet each other for the first time in the movies - sort of a Star Trek 2009 reset.
