I texted the [writers] immediately, Gregg tells EW.

It was a job he was given.
Maybe in the back of his mind he dreamed of being the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
someday, but it wasnt his lifelong dream.
I think Phil Coulsons happiest as a field agent, he continues.
But to build S.H.I.E.L.D.
So, who is the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
The executive producersplayed coyahead of the finale, which means Gregg is in the dark, too.
I was not given a clear answer, he says.
I dont know that its been determined.
I thought I was going to find out when I sawCivil War, but its not at all clear.
will be are other than in-house S.H.I.E.L.D.
Id love it if it was [her], Gregg says.
That would be magnificent.
She has earned that right and she is a commander that Coulson would absolutely follow with absolute loyalty.
But dont hold your breath for a kick-ass lady leader just yet.
I didnt get the sense fromCaptain America: Civil Warthat S.H.I.E.L.D.
was going to be turned over to autonomous management, Gregg says.
The governments of the world have always been very wary of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Its hard to image the actions of Team Cap have necessarily allayed those suspicions or fears.
Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.will return this fall on ABC.
