We already know that Nick Fury's absence will play a big part in the first round of post-launch content for Marvel's Avengers, and with one of the key features of the main story being to reassemble not just the Avengers, but S.H.I.E.L.D. as well, it makes sense for other agents to feature further down the line.

Marvel's Avengers already spotlights Maria Hill in a minor role, with the sub director assisting Bruce and Kamala in recovering JARVIS, but Fury also name-drops Dum Dum Dugan, the agency's famous bowler hat-wearing Howling Commando with the big sweater and even bigger moustache.

Further still, one collectible file also confirms the existence of Agent Jimmy Woo. Woo was portrayed by Randall Park in Ant-Man and the Wasp, where he was reimagined as an FBI agent. He's an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Marvel's Avengers, just as he is in the comics.

Here's hoping Dugan and Woo both appear in Marvel's Avengers sometime in the future.
