Seven seasons. 136 episodes. The very first MCU TV show. And yet, Agents of SHIELD still doesn’t get the canon recognition Chloe Bennet believes it deserves — and she’s not staying quiet about it anymore.

What Chloe Bennet Actually Said?
In a candid new interview, Bennet admitted she’s still “low-key angry” that Marvel Studios hasn’t fully embraced Agents of SHIELD as canon, despite the show launching directly out of The Avengers in 2013. She’s also open to returning as Daisy Johnson, saying she still deeply identifies with the character after years of playing her growth on-screen. This isn’t a new complaint either — she made similar comments last year, bluntly stating the show isn’t “really considered canon,” even though its early connections to the MCU were unmistakable.
Why the Canon Confusion Exists
| Factor | Supports MCU Canon | Casts Doubt on Canon |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | Direct Avengers spinoff (2013) | — |
| Early crossovers | Nick Fury & Maria Hill appearances | — |
| Setup for films | Led into Age of Ultron‘s opening | — |
| Later seasons | — | Time travel & alternate timelines |
| MCU film contradictions | — | Darkhold reused differently in Doctor Strange 2 |
| Recent MCU moves | — | Netflix Defenders folded in officially, SHIELD left out |
Could Avengers: Secret Wars Finally Fix This?
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has hinted that 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars could bring a “reset” to the MCU’s singular timeline rather than a full reboot. Reports suggest this soft reset could selectively preserve Agents of SHIELD elements — like Daisy Johnson’s introduction and Agent Coulson’s resurrection — while quietly leaving behind the parts that no longer fit. With the Multiverse Saga winding down, fans may finally get clarity on where the show truly stands.
