S.W.O.R.D. is said to be an intelligence and counter terrorism agency in charge of handling extraterrestrial threats. Fans are looking forward to seeing the combined forces fighting against alien enemies. After AIDA and the Life Model Decoys, viewers have been wondering about the types of foes S.H.I.E.L.D. would face in season 5. Last season's AIs were a frightening menace to the team, as AIDA's Framework sent them to an alternate world where she was in full control.
For instance, Daisy's (Chloe Bennet) life in the other reality was bittersweet. She and Ward (Brett Dalton) were still together, as if he never betrayed her and the team by siding with the Hydra. When she eventually got out of the Framework, Daisy had to realize that everything was fake. Meanwhile, Ming-Na Wen, who plays Agent May, has previously teased that the premiere is something to look forward to. According to her, it is full of action and quite impressive.
It has been previously revealed that there would be a time jump when season 5 starts. Coulson and the others must have already readjusted to their old life after the traumatic experience at the Framework. The showrunners have refused to tell more about the said jump, but speculations are rife that it would cover several months.
Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." season 5 will air midseason 2018.
