Recently on an episode of the series, it was noted that she was in line to become director of S.H.I.E.L.D. had things gone a different route other than her becoming distant and, for a lack of a better phrase, take up a more vigilante role.
But now with the character on the route of working with the agency she could still become director. “We’ve hinted at it a bit, that Coulson thinks she can play more of a leadership role,” said the one of the show's executive producers, Jed Whedon. “We’ll see how it goes, and where the story takes her. She’s been through a lot so that usually turns someone from a rookie into a seasoned veteran, which is what you need to lead. We’ll see if she steps up to the plate.”
