By now hopefully you have seen this week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., in which we got to “Meet the New Director.”  Though we did not learn a whole lot about him in this episode, there are two very important pieces of information that were shared.  Both of these point to a very widely-held theory as to the comic book character that he is playing, but I still do not consider it conclusive enough to say that this is definitely the answer (the Marvel Wiki (semi-spoiler) does indicate that the closed-captioning for the episode gave both the character’s first and last names, so there’s that).

Going into the season this was one of the biggest questions to be answered, and I was actually expecting the answer to be drawn out at least a little more—maybe by giving him a fake name before revealing his real name.  At this point that may not be the case, but I still think it’s a possibility.

With all that being said, the new S.H.I.E.L.D. Director is… (probably)…

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. continues its focus on building up the magical side of the MCU in advance of Doctor Strange’s impending release this November.  In this week’s episode we learn a little more about the “weapon” unleashed in the season premiere, and we also learn a little more about our most exciting new character, Robbie Reyes, a.k.a. Ghost Rider.  However, this is not the full extent of this week’s revelations, as we also discover a little more about the new S.H.I.E.L.D. director in his first appearance.

I think one of the biggest questions on everyone’s mind going into this season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is:  “Who is the new Director and why is there such a mystery surrounding him?”  Considering that the upcoming second episode is titled “Meet the New Boss,” it seems like a pretty safe bet that we are going to learn at least a little more about him this week.  But before then I would like to run through what we know about the new Director and some possibilities for who he could really be.

I should warn you:  there really isn’t that much we know about him, and a lot of this will be pure speculation.

You have been warned.

With that said…
