SHIELD will not be promoting from within.
Newcomer Jason O’Mara (“Terra Nova”) will be playing the new director of SHIELD.
At the end of last season of “Agents of SHIELD,” we learned Phil Coulson was in the field, taking orders from a new SHIELD director.
No word on the name of the O’Mara character, but a Marvel press release allows that the print version of his character has been around since the 1940s.
I’m rooting for O’Mara to play Jim Hammond, the android who billed himself as The Human Torch decades before Johnny Storm sauntered along.
