While the threat of Hive was ended at the conclusion of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s third season, Agent Daisy Johnson was left reeling at the death of her boyfriend and teammate, Lincoln Campbell, who sacrificed his life to stop Hive. When the season jumped forward six months in the final minutes of the season finale, Daisy had gone rogue, leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. behind and striking out on her own as a secret vigilante.
Chloe Bennet confirmed that season 4 of Agents will pick up shortly after that final scene, with an emotional Daisy who is convinced that isolating herself is best for everyone. "Yeah, we pick up right around 6 months later. She’s gone rogue. She’s hurting. She is in pain...I think her way of protecting the people she cares about, Coulson and the team and S.H.I.E.L.D., is to really isolate herself. I think she feels like when she gets close to people they die or something bad happens to them. Wherever she goes, death follows."
This path is what will presumably lead Daisy (or Quake, as she's now officially known) down the path to meeting Ghost Rider, though Bennet stopped short of confirming anything when asked. "I think I can say I have not been working with our dear cast as much as normal," she teased. "And I’ve spent some time on the east side of LA… at night…"
Regardless, Bennet had nothing but praise for her new co-star, Gabriel Luna, who will play the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider. "Gabriel is wonderful and fits in perfectly with the cast, and I’m excited to see where they go with it. All the powers so far have been really rooted in something that Fitz and Simmons can always explain. I’m curious to see how they tie in a flaming head/skull on fire, and how they explain that with science."
As for Quake, Bennet confirmed that we will see an increased usage of her powers, including some well-known abilities from the comics, though using them without restraint may come at a price. "I think we see that at the end of the season with her ability to kind of leap or fly. And so she’s become even more powerful. But that doesn’t come without a cost. I think you’ll see right away the repercussions of her powers not being monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D. and you really see how S.H.I.E.L.D. is necessary for people with powers."
