It does n’t look as though Jimmy Woo is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent inAnt - Man & the Wasp , as previously suspected . Speaking to us as part of a set sojourn , Specialty Costumes Supervisor Ivo Coveney revealed he did n’t have to project a S.H.I.E.L.D. costume for Randall Park ’s Jimmy Woo .
Back in July last year , Marvel revealed that they ’d castRandall Park for the function of Jimmy Woo , a classic character created by Al Feldstein and creative person Joe Maneely back in 1956 . Woo is the quintessential Marvel superintendent - spy , and as a result over the decades he ’s been colligate with everything from S.H.I.E.L.D. to a secretive system know as Atlas . It ’s more often than not been assume that the MCU version is an ex - S.H.I.E.L.D. operative who joined up with the FBI after the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. inCaptain America : The Winter Soldier , but until now that ’s simply been an Assumption of Mary .

Speaking toScreen Rantas part of a set sojourn , Specialty Costumes Supervisor Ivo Coveney has just feed the first solid hint . We ask if Coveney had to design a S.H.I.E.L.D. costume for Woo , and he gave a simple response ; " No , no . " It ’s important to punctuate that this does n’t necessarily imply the MCU ’s Jimmy Woo did n’t once ferment for S.H.I.E.L.D .. Rather , it seems to imply that he does n’t in the present - day , and that we wo n’t get any flashback sequences detailing any account with S.H.I.E.L.D ..

Woo had gathered together a grouping of intrepid venturer ( all characters from Atlas Comics ) , and lead them against Yellow Claw and his so - called " Atlas Foundation . " In a surreal wrench , Woo actually became leader of Atlas , turn the criminal organization into a force for good .
Little is be intimate about Woo ’s theatrical role inAnt - Man & the Wasp . He seems to be sour with the FBI , run down the Pyms in the aftermath ofCaptain America : Civil War . pass on he ’s traditionally portray as a hero , it ’s possible Woo will actually turn out to be an ally rather than an opponent . But even if that is the case , it does n’t look as though we ’ll see him suit up as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the film .
