Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns tonight for a run of seven episodes, now bearing the interestingly ominous subtitle Uprising. Tonight, according to the two clips below, the gang will have at least two meet-and-greets with he who was once Mike Peterson and is now the much more formidable Deathlok.

And if you are an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fan and were, for some inexplicable reason, thinking of maybe waiting a while to see the new Captain America movie, you may want to revise those plans. Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was at PaleyFest 2014, and the subject of a potential crossover between the show and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which premieres this weekend, was broached. Jeph Loeb, head of Marvel Television, had this to say about a potential crossover taking place in the episode immediately following the movie premiere, according to THR:
“It would not surprise anyone if things that happen in the movie you mentioned are in the show we’re talking about. I wouldn’t miss it if I were you.”
So maybe a crossover for the April 8 episode. Well, the hashtag for the show is now #ItsAllConnected, so we shall see… But first, they have Deathlok to deal with.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., starring Clark Gregg, Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, and Elizabeth Henstridge, airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC.
