First to nominate the character was the woman who brings her to life week after week. “I’m still thinking it’s me at this point,” Elizabeth Henstridge told us. “I’d like to see her in charge. She’d wear a crown, I think, and a big stick.”
Her co-stars Chloe Bennet and Henry Simmons were on hand to second and third that nomination in a separate interview. “Honestly, my vote’s for Elizabeth,” Bennet said, with Simmons adding, “I think she’d make a great director.”
Why Jemma for the job? Allow Bennet to explain: “The accent, she could say mean things and really get the jab, but really nicely!”
The Simmons for Director campaign didn’t have unanimous support among the cast, however. Coulson himself, Clark Gregg, was vehemently against the idea—and his reason why just may surprise you. To hear his argument, and learn his choice for the position, you’ll need to press play on the video above.
Do you think Simmons would make a good Director? Or do you have a different character in mind? Let us know in the comments below.
