AceShowbiz - It seems like a "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and "Marvel's Inhumans" crossover is about to come. That Hashtag Show reports that season 5 of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is currently in search of an actor to portray a Kree assassin named Sals-Bek, who has ties to Attilan's Royal Family in the comics.
Appearing in 1995's "Inhumans: The Great Refuge", the character is depicted as one of three Kree assassins who is in charge of killing Black Bolt's inner-circle while they were lampooned on Earth. While details of Bek are kept tightly under wraps, it is revealed that Bek, who is depicted as "imposing but lithe assassin," is set to appear in a 2-episode arc in the upcoming fifth season of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Kree's arrival hints at the possible crossover between the two ABC shows. Now that Medusa, Black Bolt and other key characters on "Inhumans" are being hunted by Maximus' soldiers on Earth, the crossover is seemingly more than possible, especially if Black Bolt's family remains on Earth.
Fans assume that the cosmic side of the MCU soon will be expanding its cope on the small screen as the characters of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." are set to reside in space next season. "Now we're in space. We don't know where we are. We don't know who we're up against. Although, I suspect Marvel fans will see some characters that they recognize," star Clark Gregg previously teased during an interview at the New York Comic-Con. "And what I can say is that coming up we've got some even cooler characters about to join that family and to oppose them."
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is scheduled to return for upcoming season 5 on Friday, December 1 on ABC.
