It was recently confirmed that The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. would be sent into space for the upcoming fifth season of Marvel's flagship TV series, but at least they'll have some company.

EW has debuted the first official promo images for the returning show, and they introduce four brand new faces, one of which - at least - is an established Marvel Comics character.

Check out the stills below along with character breakdowns.



Grill (Pruitt Taylor Vince)

Grill is a gruff taskmaster, lording over those under his command with an unforgiving temperament. He has no illusions about the world he lives in and this makes him a man not easily fooled, or crossed.



Flint (Coy Stewart)

Flint is a young man who’s been forced to grow up fast in a tough environment, but hasn’t lost his desire to make something of himself. When he crosses paths with our S.H.I.E.L.D. team, he just may get the chance to prove that he’s capable of big things. Fun fact: Flint is based on a character from Inhumans comics who has the ability to control rock and stone.



Tess (Eve Harlow)

Tess is resourceful, striving to be self-sufficient in very desperate circumstances, but she has hung on to her hopes for a better future for herself and those closest to her. She is living proof that even in the toughest of times, good people will still fight for each other.



Deke (Jeff Ward)

Deke is the ultimate survivor and roguish scavenger, the guy who can get people what they need, but at a price of his asking. With his sharp mind and quick wit, he is both a real asset in a tight spot and a hard man to trust.

There's been a lot of speculation that the team might have been abducted by S.W.O.R.D., but that still hasn't been confirmed. These characters certainly sound like they'll be living on some type of prison ship though, right?

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will return with a two-hour premiere on Friday, Dec. 1 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

Curious about what the deal of discount Dan Steven's discount Star-Lord is.

Just kidding, he looks cool. All about S5 looks/sounds pretty cool, actually, and I can't wait for the show to come back!

@Kyos - What if he's a former Ravager?

@SGMusic - Then this might be an actual representation of me in front of the TV:

I wonder how many more seasons this show has left? I seriously think it gets a little better every year, it's a shame more people don't watch it.

Also, Ghost Rider was awesome last year and I hope they have another arc for a Marvel character set up for this season!

It has that scrapyard 'Alien' aesthetic to it, which I like. Even though they had Rider last season, this season feels infinitely more ambitious than any season they've done so far.

@Superheromoviefan - The show is fine, you on the other hand need a re-boot.

Sooooo, I just came back from Thor Ragnarok.

All I'm gonna say is; not my cup of tea.

@Kyos -

I mean, it's not that bad...
Just not up my alley, or what I was hoping for.

@OedipusGrex - It didn't fully live up to my hopes, but I still had a good time. Definitely a matter of personal taste and expectations. Once it's out for a while and there's a spoiler thread to discuss it I'd like to hear about where the movie didn't click with you in detail.

@Kyos -

Sounds good. I too want to share my thoughts on this, but I feel like it's still too early, and this probably not the most suitable thread to do so.

@OedipusGrex - Same here. I had a good time, since it was exactly what I expected the movie to be. Just not what I wanted it to be.

I have a feeling these characters could interact with Fitz because none of their clothes to me scream "outer space" and we know Fitz isn't there with the other agents. So these could be with him "earth bound".
