The spring return acknowledged Paxton with a credits memorial, but tonight’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. gave an extra-special shout-out to the beloved actor.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. first introduced Paxton as the Marvel figure toward the latter half of Season 1, subsequently incorporating him into the Winter Solder Hydra reveal.
It wasn’t long after Bill Paxton’s passing that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. stepped up to clarify the late Training Day star wouldn’t reprise his role as John Garrett for their “What If” reality.
You’re warned of minor spoilers for tonight’s latest Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., though it looks like producers found a way to incorporate Paxton’s character into their Hydra-fied alternate reality after all.
