What Happened: Bennet’s Dragon Con Statement
Love or hate Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., there’s no denying that the show included heaps of memorable moments and characters worthy of an appearance in the wider MCU. Chloe Bennet’s Quake falls into the latter category, and while her journey from being Skye to Daisy Johnson was undeniably convoluted, she’s someone fans are eager to see on screen again.
Rumours about a potential return have swirled for years, with Bennet both teasing and denying her involvement with the MCU on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, despite claims that Marvel Studios is bringing her back, the latest update from the actor isn’t an overly positive one.
Talking at Dragon Con (via Cosmic Marvel), Bennet told fans, “I’m not playing a bit, this isn’t a joke, I don’t know anything. They haven’t asked me.”

Why the Canon Issue Matters
The question of canon isn’t merely a matter of fan preference. It impacts the potential for character returns and the consistency of the MCU’s internal logic. If events in *S.H.I.E.L.D.* are disregarded, it diminishes the meaning of the characters and storylines developed over seven seasons. It also raises questions about the creative direction of the MCU and its commitment to honoring its established history.

The comic book Quake has ties to teams like the Secret Warriors and even The avengers, so who knows how she’ll be utilised by Marvel Studios if and when this supposed return happens. Her powers – seismic manipulation – offer unique possibilities for action sequences and narrative developments.
As noted, Bennet was introduced in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as a newly created character called Skye. However,as the series progressed…
