‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Confirms Missing Comic-Con 2017, Teases NYCC Return

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fans’ Season 5 concerns were alleviated with word of a full fifth order, albeit one relegated to midseason. The Marvel drama suffered another setback with exclusion from Comic-Con 2017, but stars and producers promise S.H.I.E.L.D. a grand return in New York.

S.H.I.E.L.D. fans were quick to notice that Marvel’s Comic-Con 2017 schedule made room for The Inhumans, The Defenders, Legion, The Gifted and more, though Coulson and co. were left in the cold for the first time since 2013. Executive producer Mo Tancharoen confirmed as much over Twitter, though fall’s New York Comic-Con will hopefully accommodate the series’ midseason return:

Series star and fan icon Clark Gregg similarly expressed his regrets, but made sure to thank the supporters that gave Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. such a raucous Comic-Con presence to begin with:

Perhaps worth noting, it was Comic-Con 2016’s flaming chain trolley decoration that first tipped fans off to the arrival of Ghost Rider. Season 5 has not yet cemented many details, though we’ll at least pick up with Coulson amid that guardedly galactic twist ending.

There’s every chance we’ll learn new details of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5 from Comic-Con regardless, but stay tuned for the latest in the meantime.
