Rumors have been doing the rounds about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Chloe Bennet potentially reprising the role of Daisy Johnson, aka Quake, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for quite a while now, and although the actress has dropped a few hints that she is indeed set to return in the past, she has made it clear in a new interview that she has “not once been approached” by Marvel Studios.
While speaking to Screen Rant, Bennet was asked about the rumors that Quake might show up in the Disney+ Secret Invasion series,.
“Of course, I would be open to it,” she responded. “Listen, there’s a lot of stuff around that. I so deeply love SHIELD’s fans because it’s this tenacity that got the show on air to begin with. I have not once been approached or asked or involved in anything after I wrapped ‘SHIELD’ And I am not involved in anything that is coming out.”
“I’ve not been asked, but I would be more than excited to put on the suit again,” she added. “And, of course, of course, Daisy is a big part of who I am. So I would love to, but I have not been communicated [with] about it.“
There’s always a chance Bennet is simply doing her best to keep her imminent return under wraps, but we’d say she’s on the level here. Marvel Studios has introduced some actors/characters from the now defunct Netflix shows to the MCU, but hasn’t shown the same willingness to revisit AOS or any other show from the Marvel Television era – even though they were technically set in the MCU.
Quake was revealed to be an Inhuman in the ABC series, but Marvel Studios has yet to introduce this race, and recently ret-conned Ms. Marvel’s Inhuman origin to make her a Mutant. If Daisy was ever to return, would the same changes be applied for her debut?
Secret Invasion premieres on Wednesday, June 21 on Disney+.
