Reviving a once-forgotten plotline from Marvel Television’s “Agents of SHIELD” could elevate an upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) show, making it pivotal to the superhero franchise. Despite its gradual decline in viewership and popularity throughout its seven-season run, which ended in 2020, there has been much conjecture about characters and storylines from ABC’s Marvel series migrating into the main MCU. Among all Phase 6 shows, one offers the most promising platform for this crossover to occur.
It’s been hinted that the upcoming Marvel Studios series, “Vision Quest,” might delight fans of “Agents of SHIELD.” Although various scenarios have been proposed on how this could happen, one plausible way “Agents of SHIELD” could be referenced in the 2026’s “Vision Quest” is by incorporating its collection of artificially intelligent characters. Characters like Ultron, Jocasta, and EDITH are expected to feature in “Vision Quest,” and they might acquire human-like bodies in the form of Life Model Decoys, which were first seen in action during “Agents of SHIELD” season 3.
There have been whispers for quite some time that James Spader might reprise his role as the humanoid Ultron in the upcoming film, “Vision Quest.” This is around a decade after he portrayed the ruthless robot in 2015’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” The introduction of Life Model Decoys (LMDs) presents an ideal chance for characters like Ultron, T’Nia Miller’s Jocasta, Emily Hampshire’s EDITH, and other artificial intelligences to gain physical forms. Characters such as FRIDAY, Arnim Zola, Miss Minutes, NATALIE, and more might also acquire bodies through LMDs. Given their significant role in “Agents of SHIELD,” it would be thrilling to see them reappear.
In the final episode of its third season, the TV show “Agents of SHIELD” introduced Life Model Decoys (LMDs). These androids, crafted by characters Holden Radcliffe (played by John Hannah) and AIDA (Mallory Jansen), were so convincing that they could replace key team members within the SHIELD base. This deception led to the creation of a simulated reality known as the Framework, where more individuals were ensnared. Throughout seasons 4 and parts of 5, LMDs remained pivotal, culminating in the revival of Phil Coulson (played by Clark Gregg) as an LMD after his human demise at the end of season 5.
Incorporating Life Model Decoys within “Vision Quest” could breathe fresh life into the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most renowned artificial intelligences, marking their return to the MCU canon since Tony Stark’s jest about being a Life Model Decoy in 2012’s “The Avengers”. Following the captivating events of “WandaVision” and “Agatha All Along”, the anticipation for “Vision Quest” is high, and the introduction of Life Model Decoys in the Phase 6 series would undoubtedly delight fans of “Agents of SHIELD” and make the spinoff even more enticing.
