Stan Lee wants more heroes in S.H.I.E.L.D.

With recent news that Lady Sif from the Thor movies will appear in an episode of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the fact that Mike Peterson will become the well known Marvel Villain Dethlok it’s clear that the show is starting to dive more into the Marvel universe than originally expected.

While the show focuses on Agent Coulson and his band of agents, Marvel fans are rewarded with a series of Easter eggs towards well known Marvel characters.  Some fans had a difficult time watching the show because it revolved around an original cast of characters relatively new to the Marvel universe, where they hoped it would also include some of their old favorites. Now that we are starting to dive into some of the more well known characters it could increase the show’s popularity.

Stan Lee had this to say about the show. “I just feel that we also need more colorful characters to be popping up all the time.” When he found out about the appearances of Lady Sif and Deathlok Stan Lee replied. “That will be great. I think that’s what the show needs,” he explained. “I think people will tune in to see those characters and will enjoy seeing them in the context of being with normal people on a normal mission.”
