'I'm Still Low-Key Angry': Marvel Agents of SHIELD Star Says 'Real Followers Will Understand' Her Frustration the Series Isn't MCU Canon

Chloe Bennet, the former star of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, expressed lingering anger that the series isn't considered fully part of the MCU canon. Despite her attachment to the role, she acknowledged that she would return if Marvel asks. Bennet played key roles in the series, which ran from 2013 to 2020, and its status in the Marvel universe has been controversial.

The show began as a spin-off from The Avengers, featuring Agent Phil Coulson played by Clark Gregg, but gradually diverged from the broader MCU events. While other pre-existing Marvel TV shows are now considered canon on Disney+, Agents of SHIELD is notably absent. Bennet emphasized the show's significance, stating that they were the first MCU TV show and had a significant impact on the characters and their development.
