It is no secret that Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been a tad bit disappointing. However, now things are starting to pick up.
Despite its rocky start and slow pacing, things are finally falling into place. In has been revealed that Centipede-soldier-turned-S.H.I.E.L.D. amputee, Mike Peterson, will soon be turned into a Deathlok.
Deathloks are a series of cyborg zombie hybrids. Jeffrey Bell, producer of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., made the announcement via a press release:
"We have been waiting all season for this moment where we can reveal that Mike Peterson's story arc is an origin story. We're thrilled to have J August Richards playing Deathlok and to have our audience enjoy this favorite Marvel character on the show."
J. August Richards also spoke at the press release adding:
"If you would have asked when I was 9 years old what I wanted to be, I would have said a superhero and I'm so excited to be one now as an adult on TV! It's a dream come true."
During the coda for the last episode of S.H.I.E.L.D., we saw the beginning of Peterson’s transformation. The upgrade will be complete in the February 4 episode, ‘Tracks.’
