* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/MarvelCinematicUniverse Enough WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/NicholasBrendon let slip during a panel at the Albuquerque Comic Expo that he and Creator/JAugustRichards were the last two choices
for Mike Peterson.
** Melinda was originally going to be a white woman named Althea Rice. Ming-Na Wen gave such a strong audition that the character became Chinese and her name was changed.
** "[[Recap/AgentsOfShieldS1E7TheHub The Hub]]" was written to exploit the real-life friendship of Brett Dalton and Iain De Caestecker. It is the first episode to air after the premier of ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', and the following episode "The Well" covers the crossover elements. This along with the fact that Episode 10, "The Bridge" ends on a cliffhanger before the show returned the following year with "The Magical Place" strongly suggests that before "The Hub" was written, episodes 8-11 were meant to be aired as #7-10; ending the year 2013 with a two-part, mid-season finale.
** It's been confirmed that [[spoiler:Triplett]] was originally more of a MauveShirt - he was going to die in the Season 1 finale around the same time as [[spoiler:Garrett]] did, but his popularity and likability with the production team (and [[EnsembleDarkhorse fans]]) led to his getting a half-season reprieve before finally biting it in season 2 [[spoiler:being killed by the Terrigen that turned Raina and Skye into Inhumans]]. For that matter, [[spoiler:Grant Ward]] is rumored to have been considered for death in the same season finale before they decided he had too much potential to be killed off that quickly [[spoiler:prolonging until the mid-season finale of season 3, where Coulson finally kills him, and the new BigBad Hive then possesses his corpse for the rest of the season]].
** A spinoff involving Lance Hunter and Mockingbird, ''Marvel's Most Wanted'' was planned for a 2015 release, but it was shelved in favor of giving ''Agent Carter'' another season. It was revisited a year later and a pilot was featuring Delroy Lindo as Dominic Fortune was shot, but ABC ultimately passed on ordering the series, [[spoiler: causing Lance to [[TheBusComeBack return]] in season 5 in a guest role, though Adrianna Palicki's obligations to ''Series/TheOrville'' presumably kept Bobbi from doing the same]].
** An extended scene on the Season 2 DVD with Bobbi and Agent Calderon implies that the Enhanced HYDRA asset that Weaver fought at the academy was about 8 ft. tall and had skin like steel. Presumably, it got cut because it was too close a reference to Colossus from X-Men.
** [[http://screencrush.com/joss-whedon-agents-of-shield-coulson-marvel-tv/ There were plans to use Loki Scepter from the original ''Avengers'' movie during the show]], but the idea was scrapped due to ''Age of Ultron''.
** There were discussions about having Creator/EmilyVanCamp reprise her role as [[ComicBook/Agent13 Sharon Carter]] from the movies, but her commitments to ''Series/{{Revenge}}'' prevented this.
** A storyline involving [=MODOK=] was originlly planned, but Marvel Studios revoked their ability to use him. Presumably, the story would have centered around the Superior, who already had numerous {{Mythology Gag}}s to the character.
** Crystal from ''Series/{{Inhumans}}'' was announced to be making an appearance in Season 5 shortly before that show started. Then
its own page]]horrific reception caused them to walk back on whatever the plan was.
** After adding Agent Sousa in the final season, there was some hope to use the season's time travel story to reveal that Enver Gjokaj's small role as a cop in ''The Avengers'' was actually Sousa, but they couldn't figure out how to make it work on top of all the other timeline issues of the season.
** A [[TheStinger post-credits scene]] for the finale "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS7E13WhatWereFightingFor What We're Fighting For]]" was [[https://ew.com/tv/agents-of-shield-series-finale-cast-fate/ planned but never filmed]], which would have had Deke becoming the {{expy}} of the original Nick Fury as he already served as the series' {{expy}} of Star-Lord, in which he would don the iconic eyepatch.

* SparedByTheCut: In the middle of the first season, CorruptCorporateExecutive Ian Quinn escapes with the crate of Gravitonium. A scene originally showed a fellow unwitting agent of HYDRA, Raina, killing him by letting the mysterious element consume him but it was removed, leaving the character and plot device open for a return.
** Ultimately [[SubvertedTrope subverted]], as the show brought back the Gravitonium plot but the actor playing Quinn [[RealLifeWritesThePlot had retired from acting]]. The showrunners decided to simply put the cut scene back into the show, which had killed off Raina herself two seasons prior, leaving the character's fate neatly resolved with no further explanation required.

* {{Jossed}}:
** When fans saw that the pilot involved an African American man with superpowers, many assumed that it was ComicBook/{{Luke Cage|HeroForHire}}. Whedon, however, assured that it wasn't him. [[spoiler:For good reason, because he's actually the VillainOfTheWeek who later becomes Deathlok.]]
** Indirectly; fans had theories spring up about Isabelle Hartley being Victoria Hand's lover, due to Hand dating a woman named Isabelle in the comics. This is never confirmed in the show, but {{Jossed}} by the creators as they realized what they did with both characters would lead to UnfortunateImplications.
** After directly revealing that Bobbi and Mack were indeed spying on the team for some reason, the very next episode took care to nip any theories of them being HYDRA in the bud, as one conversation goes a bit out of its way just so Bobbi can say "We're not HYDRA!"
** The fan theory that Lash was introduced so that he would be the one to kill Hive ends up bunk in "Emancipation", when James unexpectedly kills him. Turns out his ''real'' purpose was not to stop Hive but to save Daisy.
** Some fans took the promotional images for Season 4 that showed a flaming chain to be an indication that Hellfire would be joining the cast as a main character. The flaming chain actually belonged to ComicBook/GhostRider.
** "No Regrets" ended with May [[spoiler: putting Daisy through Terrigenesis as part of a HeelFaceTurn (until this point, Daisy [[BroughtDownToBadass didn't have her powers within the Framework]])]]. As there was previously nothing stating that [[spoiler: the power an Inhuman gets is set in stone]], some people thought that Daisy would [[spoiler: gain different powers within the Framework]]; this was disproven by the second sneak peek for "All the Madame's Men".
** The cliffhanger at the of the Season 4 finale was widely assumed to be setup for [[spoiler: Team Coulson to be recruited into Marvel's "Space SHIELD" organization SWORD, or if not them, another agency recruiting them to be their agents.]] This is shown to not be the case in the premiere of Season 5, where [[spoiler: the team are put onto a dangerous space station with no idea how they got there, presumably put there by the men who captured them at the diner. Coulson explicitly states that SHIELD has no space-based counterpart, meaning SWORD likely doesn't yet exist in the MCU.]]
** A lot of fans had hoped that it would turn out that Jasper Sitwell wasn't really a member of Hydra; maybe he was brainwashed, or undercover? Well, a flashback of General Hale's in season five lets us know otherwise.

** The series was caught in a feud between Marvel Studios (who made the MCU films) and Marvel Television (who made the MCU TV series).[[note]]The reason is basically that Marvel Studios kick-started the MCU from zero, Disney bought Marvel, and Marvel Television exploited it; so MS basically felt that MT was piggy-backing off their work[[/note]] The first conflict started when the TV series had just been confirmed: only two days laater they were informed that an upcoming film, "The Winter Soldier", would dismantle S.H.I.E.L.D., basically blowing up the show's premise.

** Ward's HYDRA faction in the early Season 3 is either "HYDRA Junior" or "[[ReplacementScrappy HYDRA]]-[[BigBadWannabe wannabe]]", because their agents are not only consisting [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron Baron Strucker]]'s [[OverlordJr son]] but also generally being unconvincing or petty thugs who aren't even [[SharpDressedMan dressed sharply]], being seemingly unprofessional (at point Ward sheepishly warned them when they recklessly handle crates that may contain explosives), their base is a warehouse, [[EvilIsPetty their motivation is to cause chaos for S.H.I.E.L.D. to handle]] (aside from Ward's personal motivation for {{revenge}}), and they apparently lack of weaponry and manpower (to the point that Hunter attempted to infiltrate them by giving them weapons). They are also apparently not so connected with other HYDRA factions, especially the Inner Circle that includes Gideon Malick. They are also not only curb-stomped by ''two'' S.H.I.E.L.D. agents but also by Malick's faction later, to the point that they're eventually forced to merge into Malick's faction, with Ward being DemotedToDragon. Bobbi also calls them "Ward's little HYDRA dynasty". [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Even their version of HYDRA symbol]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/9/9b/Ward's_HYDRA_logo.png look dirt cheap bad!]]
