Jackson will reprise his role as the hot-tempered agent who, in the new trailer, is seen as a shell of the man he once was. Cobie Smulders will also return as Hill but the show will also have a few more surprising faces going its ensemble cast.
Emilia Clarke, Christopher McDonald, and Carmen Ejogo were also seen in the trailer in undisclosed roles.
The Marvel head also dished more on Phase 5, beginning with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which will properly introduce the MCU's next iconic villain – Kang, played by Jonathan Majors.

"This is going to be unlike anything you’ve seen from us and not to mention that guy," he said, referring to Majors who was also present, "throws this whole thing into such new territory."
