If you cast your mind back to the final scene from the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3 finale, you’ll recall a brief sequence featuring Dr. Holden Radcliffe (John Hannah) uploading his LMD (Life Model Decoy) Phase 1, and having a little chat with someone/something called AIDA .
Fans figured this must be the same AIDA (Artificial Intelligence Data Analyser) from Marvel’s early Squadron Supreme comics, and from the sounds of a new report from TV Line, they’re absolutely right. According to the site, season four of Marvel’s flagship TV series is in the process of casting an enigmatic, attractive robot named AIDA, as well as a couple of Latino brothers who sound like they might well be new Inhuman characters.
This much I can tell you: LMDs are happening. Specifically, the ABC series at this time is looking to cast the recurring role of Aida, a “very attractive” robot (because after all, why make a homely one?) who moves about quite naturally but speaks a bit formally, like Iron Man’s Jarvis. Also to be introduced in Season 4: a pair of Latino brothers, one of whom is always the most dangerous person in the room, the other paralyzed in a wheelchair.
That’s all we have to go on for now, but expect plenty more to be revealed at SDCC before Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns for its fourth season on September 20.
