Last night saw the premiere party for ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Los Angeles and, though the rest of us won’t get to see the first episode of the Third Season until next week, we at least have the first four minutes we can watch, thanks to IGN.
And what a four minutes it is! For whatever problems the show has had, when they get it right, it’s really amazing. Here we have a new Inhuman, called NuHumans in the comics, who has some heat-based power, allowing him to melt metal and blow things up. He’s freaked, he doesn’t know what’s happening to him, and then some shadowy government organization shows up to take him down, “with lethal force, if necessary.”
But have no fear, Daisy Johnson is here! Played by actress Chloe Bennett, Agent Johnson, a.k.a. Quake, runs in to the fray with Agents Mack and Hunter, played by actors Henry Simmons and Nick Blood, respectively, to save the day with a truly great extraction sequence.
And then we get to see what Coulson and team have been up to in getting a new bus for themselves. Can’t wait to find out how that happened!
As for the new Inhuman, according to IMDB the character’s name is Joey Gutierrez, played by Juan Pablo Raba. In the comics, the only Inhuman with fire powers is a guy named Dante Pertuz, who goes by Inferno. It’s likely that this is the MCU version of that character, one of the first NuHumans to be created when the Terrigen bomb was set off.
Now, sit back and watch these four minutes five times over, like we just did.
