The upcoming Agents of SHIELD season 7 will feature one of the characters for Agent Carter. This news has been recently confirmed, with Enver Gjokaj set to reprise his role as Daniel Sousa in the final run of the ABC series. Many were delighted with the news and it's exciting to see what the character brings in the series finale. Another good news is that the series finale is arriving next month.
Gjokaj's Daniel Sousa was an Strategic Scientific Reserve agent on Agent Carter. One of the main questions entering Agents of SHIELD season 7 is what would be the version of Sousa this time. At the end of the sixth installment, SHIELD traveled back to the 1930s. But given that Agent Carter was set several years later, we'll probably see more of an earlier version of Sousa.
In a report via Entertainment Weekly, Gjokaj discussed what he feels when he found out that his character will be appearing in Agents of SHIELD season 7. He said it wasn't near anywhere his brain, and he was surprised when the opportunity to appear in the final season was presented to him. The actor also teased that it's fun when they got Coulson and Sousa in the same scene as they're very similar.
Agent Carter appeared on the same networks as Agents of SHIELD but the two shows never had an actual crossover since they're set in a different time period. Carter was set in the 1940s, while SHIELD in the present. But then, the latter series included a time-travel story in the previous season, making Sousa's appearance in Agents of SHIELD season 7 possible.
The arrival of Gjokaj's character is just one of the big surprises in the upcoming installment. Since this is also the series' final run, be prepared for more unexpected twists and turns. The final season may bring a few different stories on the table and may tie all the loose ends since the beginning. The series will likely deliver a proper endgame to make the conclusion satisfying.
As for the release date of Agents of SHIELD season 7, ABC confirmed the premiere date of the final installment. It was revealed that the series is arriving on Wednesday, May 27 at 10 PM Eastern time, on ABC. Reportedly, the series finale will consist of 13 episodes. These episodes will feature different stories, including time travel, new enemies, as well as the new iteration of Coulson existing in LMD form.
