We spent a lot of time in people&#8217;s homes, and I spent a lot of my life playing this character and this young woman growing into her power. There&#8217;s a lot of symbolism in that, especially looking back now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Marvel had once discussed Agents of SHIELD as being closely connected to the movies, and afforded the series several early cameos to tease the link between it and the big screen. Samuel L. Jackson&#8217;s Nick Fury cameoed in an early episode, while Hayley Atwell&#8217;s Peggy Carter popped up a couple of times. But later seasons \u2014 in part to avoid clashing with Marvel&#8217;s movie plans \u2014 ventured into more standalone territory, with alternate timelines, alternate versions of Clark Gregg and an incarnation of Ghost Rider that will almost certainly be ignored when the Ryan Gosling movie rumbles along. The show ultimately wound up without acknowledging the Snap\/Blip either.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">All of that said, Bennet insisted she would still &#8220;totally&#8221; accept an invitation to reprise her Agents of SHIELD role in future, should Marvel come calling. &#8220;I&#8217;m obsessed with Daisy. I feel like I am Daisy. I would be so protective of her,&#8221; the actress concluded. &#8220;I would love to play her with the growth that I\u2019ve had since I&#8217;ve had a break from the role.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Perhaps in next year&#8217;s Avengers: Secret Wars?

We spent a lot of time in people&#8217;s homes, and I spent a lot of my life playing this character and this young woman growing into her power. There&#8217;s a lot of symbolism in that, especially looking back now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Marvel had once discussed Agents of SHIELD as being closely connected to the movies, and afforded the series several early cameos to tease the link between it and the big screen. Samuel L. Jackson&#8217;s Nick Fury cameoed in an early episode, while Hayley Atwell&#8217;s Peggy Carter popped up a couple of times. But later seasons \u2014 in part to avoid clashing with Marvel&#8217;s movie plans \u2014 ventured into more standalone territory, with alternate timelines, alternate versions of Clark Gregg and an incarnation of Ghost Rider that will almost certainly be ignored when the Ryan Gosling movie rumbles along. The show ultimately wound up without acknowledging the Snap\/Blip either.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">All of that said, Bennet insisted she would still &#8220;totally&#8221; accept an invitation to reprise her Agents of SHIELD role in future, should Marvel come calling. &#8220;I&#8217;m obsessed with Daisy. I feel like I am Daisy. I would be so protective of her,&#8221; the actress concluded. &#8220;I would love to play her with the growth that I\u2019ve had since I&#8217;ve had a break from the role.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Perhaps in next year&#8217;s Avengers: Secret Wars?
