Bennet played Daisy Johnson in 136 episodes of Agents of SHIELD from 2013 to 2020 and was a key character throughout the entirety of the show. Meanwhile, Konechny has his own Marvel connection. He appeared in the small role of Sam in 2016's X-Men: Age of Apocalypse. He also appeared in Fifty Shades of Grey, Godzilla and the DC superhero show Supergirl.
