It’s always tricky talking to cast members from Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD , because they have to keep so many secrets. Still, going into Season 3, we know a lot of changes are in store for Skye (Chloe Bennet), on the heels of the huge events that occurred for her in Season 2.

First and foremost, she’s not called Skye anymore – she’s going by her real name, Daisy Johnson (AKA Marvel comics’ Quake). Plus there’s the fact that she knows she's an Inhuman and will be forming a new team of super-powered folks, which will introduce the Secret Warriors into the series.At the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour this week, Bennet spoke to myself and other reporters about Skye, ahem, Daisy’s transformation and what to expect from the shifting character dynamics this year.I can say I’ve been shooting all day and it’s been crazy. [Episode] 302 is definitely one of the biggest episodes we’ve ever done. It’ll be exciting this season, because there’s a lot of action, there’s a lot of CGI. There’s a lot of what makes SHIELD so big but at the same time, all the character dynamics have changed. I’m working with Mack a lot more - we’re partners this year so you’ll see a time jump and how we’re really comfortable around each other. It's like Mulder and Scully. And she’s Daisy Johnson now!It actually isn’t as weird. I think the haircut and the new wardrobe [help].Something that’s very difficult to go to the bathroom in. They like to limit me from going to the bathroom as much as possible on the show. It’s a really cool outfit. I hope fans of Daisy Johnson and Quake are pretty happy with it because we tried to do a nice blend of TV version and comic book version.Yeah, she’s grown up this year which is hard for me to play because I’m four years old. You’ll see a much more mature version of Daisy. The writers actually have a box in the writers room and have of it is a picture of daisies and half is a picture of the sky and whenever one of them refers to me as Skye when they’re pitching stories, they have to put a dollar in and there’s like $200 in this box.I hope I do. I should get it. I’m just kidding. I think like an office PA gets it.I think once they see her in the setting, she’s different but she’s as much different as Skye in Season 1 was from Skye in Season 2. She’s just more that way. She’s slowly transitioning. The short hair definitely -- people really liked my long hair. So did I, but we wanted to… She’s kind of no nonsense now and shorter hair makes more sense for that.I just had a long scene today where I’m talking about that and I can’t tell you about it. [Laughs] She’s as loyal to the Inhumans as she is to SHIELD. But she’s really about making them work together. It’s about making it a collaborative effort.He feels differently about what he believes Inhumans’ part should be in society. It’s going to be a little struggle between two characters, between both of them to come to terms with what they both think about Inhumans roles in society should be. But then there’s obviously an attraction there and they both like each other so that may get in the way.I found out I was Daisy on my own because I was doing my own research and then when they all came to tell me, my big moment, that I was Daisy, I was like, “I know, guys! You’re late to the game” but I was still very excited.I actually went to the comic book store myself and bought all the comics that she was in. I kind of was dressed exactly like Skye and went in and I was like, “Do you have every comic book with Daisy Johnson in it?” and while I was doing it, I was thinking, “This is a really bad idea” because it was going to be the big reveal of the character but actually no one cared, so it was nice.
