The Agents of SHIELD season 2 finale gave a big nod towards the direction of season 3.

We speculate on what that might mean…

Warning: contains spoilers for theAgents of SHIELDseason 2 finale,S.O.S.

Agents of SHIELDs two-part season 2 finale certainly gave us plenty to talk about in the meantime.

Heres a primer on what that was possibly alluding to…

If thats so, heres what happened.

It is, were led to believe, the blueprint for a new superhero team.

Crucially, though, this team will be a little different to Earths mightiest heroes.

Not like the Avengers out in the open, she specifically requested upon signing up.

Heres some more on that… Do all their missions traditionally centre on fish oil?

Well, not quite.

Maybe he will return with superpowers, but that didnt seem to be what the show was suggesting.

The team, as you probably guessed, was a covert one without the public fame of the Avengers.

Three sub-teams of the Secret Warriors are known within the world of the comics.

The same goes for Stonewall.

This core team isnt the only task force that Fury brought together to tackle the Skrulls invasion attempt.

Theyve also teamed up with the Howling Commandos on occasion.

As mentioned before, a verison of the Quake-fronted team will surely be theAgents of SHIELDtake onSecret Warriors.

But how exactly could the showrunners condense all this comic book backstory into an entertaining season?

Here are some thoughts…

Welcome, dear reader, to speculation corner.

Be warned: we are making all of this up, from this point forth.

Its fair to assume thatAgents of SHIELDwill draw on the groundwork it has already built.

It could be a ratings booster, though.

Its also worth wondering what seeds have already been sown for other potential members of the team.

Surely hell be on the team, especially since he turned against the evil plot of the Inhumans duringS.O.S.

Who else might get to join the Secret Warriors?

Well, there was also the big cliff-hanger that saw Simmons yanked into the big sloshy Inhuman stone thingy.

That ones officially a long shot, though.

Put that in the unlikely column, but dont rule it out altogether.

The introduction of the Secret Warriors will surely tie in to the upcomingCaptain America: Civil Warmovie, too.

That film lands in April 2016, just in time for a late-in-the-season tie-in.

Surely, Skyes comparatively new team will get tied up in that somehow.

If previous tie-ins are anything to go by, though, the film wont feature any TV-cast cameos.

to do something equally awful.

and forcing Skye and co. to branch of on their own, perhaps.

Thats not really what we do or what we can even do on a weekly series.

But tipping our hats to that direction I think is something were suggesting there in the new season.

Well let you know when more facts aboutAgents of SHIELDseason 3 emerge.
