Don Cheadle returns as James “Rhodey” Rhodes and suits up again as War Machine.In one shot,Fury is sitting down with Cheadle’s character, who is surrounded by men in black suits. Fans last saw Cheadle inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier. As for Cobie Smulders (Agent Maria Hill), she had this to say toEW:
“The great thing that the series gives us the opportunity to do is really dive into the characters more, really explore their relationships with each other. It was just really exciting to shoot these scenes with [Samuel L. Jackson] that were like; we weren’t just talking about ‘How are we gonna get the thing to fix the thing?’ And we’re able to show sort of their relationship that is seen behind the scenes.”
Smulders added:
“Even though we have Skrull aliens running around, it is a very grounded, on-this-earth drama. It is really human — again, even though there are aliens in it. We’re dealing with real human issues and dealing with trust. Can I trust you? Are you who you say you are? And do you have my back?”
