The origin of the blue alien from Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will finally be revealed. This the mystery alien whose blood saved Agent Phil Coulson’s life in “Tahiti” – a major story thread since the show debuted.
In the December 2nd episode it will reveal the alien is Kree, Executive Producer Jeffrey Bell told TV Guide.
Update:
Producers say Raina (Ruth Negga) names the Kree for the first time in the episode.
“With Raina we know that she has been on a path,” Maurissa Tancharoen told Marvel.com. “We’ve learned in her conversations with Skye’s father–and also with Agent Garrett last season–that she’s been told these stories of evolution and destiny, and so it’s very much part of her lifelong quest to achieve this goal of hers. The Kree are a part of the stories she’s heard her whole life.”
“Raina’s evangelical about growth and progress, not just for herself but for the world,” adds Negga. “This idea of evolution is so important to her, for us to evolve into something bigger and greater, whatever that may be.
“These stories that her grandmother has told her promise the arrival of something. A change that’s coming that’s been promised for however many years, passed down from generation to generation. The return of something that was once here that will come again and bring about something better, more progressive. I think that’s what the Kree represent for Raina.”
This Kree revelation is significant to the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) from Guardians of the Galaxy was a renegade Kree.Carol Danvers was exposed to a Kree device giving her the powers of Captain Marvel – soon be a be a Marvel film.
The Inhumans (also on Marvel’s list of future movies) are descended from ancient human experimented on by Kree scientists.
“Our people don’t know anything about the Kree or that there’s a planet full of them,” said Bell. “What they do know is that the strange carvings created by Coulson after he was injected with the Kree serum are actually the map of a city, and they need to find that city before Hydra does. But where is it? Here or on another planet?”
Coulson and company have been racing Hydra to find a secret city. The Inhumans live in a secluded city called Attilan.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs Tuesdays at 9pm on ABC.
