Agents of SHIELD's Gonzales vs. Coulson drama may have revealed the direction of the series' impending spinoff.

'Captain America 3' To Be 'Avengers 2.5'? Anthony Mackie & Scarlett Johansson Explain

It seems Director Coulson (Clark Gregg) has been keeping a fairly substantial secret. Since the HYDRA insurrection, Fury's (Samuel L. Jackson) replacement has been funneling massive amounts of money into a new project titled Theta Protocol. Stockpiling bunk beds and hoping around the world on secret missions, Coulson has suddenly become an enigma to his own team.

Considering Coulson's a standup guy - thank god his own agents are aware of his upstanding character - his side project shouldn't be anything malicious. According to Camp Gonzales (Edward James Olmos), Theta Protocal might be a plan to amass super powered (and potentially dangerous) beings for the use of SHIELD. In a storyline that smacks of Secret Warriors, according to OverMental, Coulson's side project could spawn Marvel's next prime time venture.
