Back whenAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.first started, events of the MCU were often referenced in the show, with Nick Fury even making a cameo appearance at the end of the first season. But as the show continued, it started to drift away from the main universe and by the time the seventh season concluded, it became a standalone narrative that had nothing to do with the MCU.
Reflecting on the MCU sidelining the first Marvel show that was initially tied to the MCU, Ming-Na Wen shared her disappointment over its treatment.

But unlike some of Marvel’s Netflix television series, which are now being incorporated into the larger MCU, it doesn’t seem the same is going to happen withAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,at least not anytime soon.

“it’s weird, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. sort of became a separate entity for whatever reason because it was on the network as opposed to streaming,”she said.“We were the first, so you think we should get some accolade for helping launch Marvel in what the TV [department] that it is now.”
When asked if she had been contacted by Disney to reprise the role of Agent Melinda May in the MCU, Wen answered“No”.
Chances for MoreAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.Isn’t Completely Over
Although it’s unlikely that Disney will revive the Marvel show anytime soon, the chances aren’t zero. When Brad Winderbaum, Marvel’s Head of Television, Animation, and Streaming, was asked about the possibility ofAOSseason 8, he didn’t completely shut down the possibilities.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. | [Credit: Marvel Television]He toldAgents of Fandom:
“We’re doing that right now. We’re in production on Daredevil: Born Again in New York, they’re shooting as we speak — I’m seeing text messages come up from set. That’s probably the next show that is going to kind of revisit and revive a really strong, and one of my favorite pockets of our universe and our fandom. And… you never know, is the answer!”
WhileAOS‘ future remains up in the air, keeping in mind that multiverse has been a thing for quite some time now, fans will hope Ming-Na Wen returns in some capacity in her Marvel role.
