It turns out an Agents of SHIELD foe was almost in Avengers: Endgame as Werner Reinhart himself, Reed Diamond, reacts to his cutting cameo. Before Curiosity Studios pursued their own MCU-based shows on Disney+, Disney had its own Marvel Tv division that consisted of multiple series. Prior to the launch of the Disney-branded service, Curiosity TV had shows on ABC, Netflix, Hulu, and Freeform. One of them was Agents of SHIELD, which served as a semi-spinoff from The Avengers by focusing on Clark Gregg's Phil Coulson and his squad of spies.

Despite the show making tie-ins to the films, the MCU never referenced Agents of SHIELD during its vii-year run. Regardless of the lack of MCU movies acknowledging the Goggle box shows, it turns out Avengers: Endgame well-nigh did feature an Agents of SHIELD villain. Werner Reinhart, who was one of the principal antagonists in Agents of SHIELD flavour two, was close to having a trivial appearance in the final Avengers installment. Recently, old concept art from Cantina Creative resurfaced which features a articulate shot of Diamond's Agents of SHIELD character, seen next to other HYDRA members. But for whatever reason, it got cut as it was never seen in the theatrical version.

While it's unclear why Werner'due south visual cameo got removed, the thespian has given a funny response to it. As fans had been tagging him about the resurfaced concept fine art, Diamond reacted to it, making it clear he had no idea Werner was near in Avengers: Endgame.

Even though it would have been a cursory cameo, Avengers: Endgame already had a lot packed in for the film'southward 3-60 minutes run. Still, it would likely have been a large deal for Agents of SHIELD fans to finally see something from the testify get acknowledged in one way or the other, particularly as the films accept connected to keep the serial at arm's length. Given Werner'due south ties to HYDRA, something the MCU films have used for several phases, it would take been more fitting to meet his history referenced.

WhileAgents of SHIELD never got a chance to play into the movies with character appearances properly, that might finally be changing.Spider-Man: No Way Domicile andHawkeye did the first Marvel Idiot box inclusions by having Charlie Cox'due south Daredevil and Vincent D'onofrio Kingpin appear in the respective Marvel projects. This came before all the Marvel-Netflix shows andAgents of SHIELD, added to Disney+, every bit those properties volition go explored by an entirely new audience, and open up the door for more Marvel Idiot box characters to cross into the films. Despite missing out on Avengers: Endgame , Agents of SHIELDviewers may even so see future cameos down the line.
