Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Has A New Director

 

The last scene of the season 3 finale of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. brought with it a few surprising revelations. After a short flash-forward it came to light that Daisy was actually on the run from her former teammates, and Phil Coulson was no longer the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Fans figured another established character must have been promoted in his stead, but it turns out the new Director will actually be a brand new character, as played by Irish actor Jason O’Mara (Life of Mars, Terra Nova).

Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb said this “Bringing Jason into the mix as the New Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. 
forces everyone, particularly Coulson, to reevaluate their role in the Agency. Jason has both the physical presence and acting dynamics that will connect with and challenge even the most loyal agent.”

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns for its fourth season on Tuesday, September 20th
