S.H.I.E.L.D. taps Jason O’Mara as its new director
Phil Coulson teased at the end of last season of Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. that the top-secret super-organization was under new leadership. And, as promised, S.H.I.E.L.D. returns with its fourth season on September 20, and with it comes a new director. Jason O’Mara has been tapped to play the new director taking over S.H.I.E.L.D., “whose Marvel roots go back to the 1940s,” according to a press release from Marvel. It’s unclear if that means he’s playing a character who was created in the ’40s, or if his character has connections to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s ’40s timeline. Agent Carter is sadly cancelled, but bring back Peggy Carter! Somehow! It doesn’t even need to make total sense!
