At the Marvel Studios television panel held today at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International, Marvel Studios announced that British actor Nick Blood will play Lance Hunter in Season 2 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Lance Hunter is the director of the organization called S.T.R.I.K.E. a kind of British equivalent to S.H.I.E.L.D., which leads one to wonder if Agent Coulson’s new S.H.I.E.L.D. might not be welcomed by the greater intelligence community at large.
