Agents Of SHIELD: 10 Characters Who Should Return In Season 4
It's time to bring back a few familiar faces...
Over the last three years, Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. has taken fans on quite a ride.
It's moved past its wheel-spinning, pre-The Winter Soldier freshman season and into a story that's plunged headfirst into the conflict with and inner workings of HYDRA, introduced and expanded on the concept of Inhumans, and even taken several characters to another planet, all while continuing to explore the characters we've come to know, rewarding many who've been with the show since day one.
Though season three saw a number of familiar faces from the first two seasons return and several unresolved threads tied up, there are still a handful of characters who sat the entire third season out - leaving many loose ends still dangling as a result - that deserve to resurface in the show's future, if even just for the sake of closure.
While season four's arrival imminent, let's start theorizing about it by taking a spoiler-filled look at 10 characters that haven't been seen since the first two seasons who should definitely turn up again before all is said and done...
10. Calvin Johnson
Last Seen: Starting his life anew as a veterinarian courtesy of Project T.A.H.I.T.I. back in the second season finale.
Easily the best addition to the show in its second season, Daisy's father Cal revealed himself to be so much more than just a villain, with his obsession with reconnecting with his daughter and blind devotion to Jiaying sending him hurtling down the self-destructive path he was already far along when fans first met him. Full of good intentions but warped by his own self-experimentation, it was bittersweet to see him survive the season alive and happy, even if it meant having to sacrifice the relationship with the daughter he fought so hard to earn back.
Kyle MacLachlan played the character to perfection, and while Cal's exit from the grand scheme was a fitting send-off, it was hard not to hold out hope Daisy would find a chance to visit him at some point in season three. Though a mention of him during the final sequence of the season suggested they're still in each other's orbit despite his memory of her having been wiped, it would be great to see the two together again to illuminate what their relationship has become.
