(Warning: some major spoilers for S5 and S6 below.)
The S.H.I.E.L.D. team ultimately defeated the Shrike invasion, Izel, and Sarge, but at great cost: May was fatally wounded. In desperation, our heroes placed May in a stasis pod, and an upgraded, time-traveling version of their ship, the Zephyr One , zapped them several decades into the past, where they are trapped going into S7. Meanwhile, Simmons built a Life Model Decoy of Coulson, replete with knowledge about the entire history of SHIELD, to help them navigate through history and hopefully save the future once and for all.

Per the official S7 premise: “Coulson and the Agents of SHIELD are thrust backward in time and stranded in (New York City. With the all-new) Zephyr set to time-jump at any moment, the team must hurry to find out exactly what happened. If they fail, it would mean disaster for the past, present and future of the world. ” Unlike S6, which avoided any MCU references to Avengers Infinity War or
Endgame
in favor of telling its own story, showrunners Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen have said that S7 will incorporate a tie-in to the MCU. It’s anybody’s guess what that might be.The trailer opens in 2019 s New York City, with local police officers waiting in a discreet location for what appears to be a payoff. “When he gets here, just count the dough, let me do the talking,” their leader says. Instead, three Chronicoms arrive. The officer tells them to beat it, lest he make them regret they were ever born. “Chronicoms are not born,” the lead Chronicom replies. The supporting police officers are summarily killed, and their leader has his face erased — stolen, actually, by the very painful application of a piece of advanced Chronicom technology.
The Chronicoms seem to have followed our S.H.I.E.L.D. team to the past in hopes of preventing them from foiling the planned Chronicom invasion of Earth. We get a rapid series of images of what this last mission entails, with LMD Coulson on hand to help guide our heroes through the covert agency’s long secret history — and sometimes channel his inner s gangster to defend the team from Chronicom attacks. Daisy gets in a few good quakes, and a revived May gets to kick some villain butt. But in a truly ironic twist, the team might have to save Hydra in order to save S.H.I.E.L.D. and preserve the future.
