You worked with Clark Gregg on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. What does he bring to the role of Milius?

[PAUL ZBYSZEWSKI:] He's a real force of authority. He's a military man of rules and principles, and we wanted to bring somebody in who we felt could go toe-to-toe with anyone in our cast — someone who could not just portray toughness and rigor and authority, but also vulnerability. Someone who's flawed, but to what degree he knows he’s flawed remains to be seen. And I knew from personal experience that Clark could deliver on everything we asked him to do. He's an immensely talented actor. He's a great fit for the role. He can be incredibly serious and yet turn around and throw off a joke or a smirk or a quip, and immediately change the tone of the scene. He has that ability, and we wanted to utilize all of those skills and talents for this character so that it changed the dynamic.

EXCLUSIVE: Chloe Bennet (Interior Chinatown) and Phil Dunster (Ted Lasso) have been tapped to lead Hello Out There, an indie marking the feature debut of writer-director Otis Blum, which has wrapped production in New Mexico.

The film centers on Minnie (Bennet), a young journalist who embarks on a road trip across New Mexico with her cousin, Rex (Dunster), a punk rock guitarist fresh out of rehab, who is trying to figure out what’s left. Their stated mission: to investigate Area 51 and unearth the truth about extraterrestrial life. But as the journey unfolds, a deeper, more personal reason for their quest comes to light.

Next to be seen starring opposite Jimmy O. Yang on Hulu’s series Interior Chinatown, based on the award-winning book from Charles Yu, which premieres November 19, Bennet is coming off a recurring role in Season 3 of FXX’s acclaimed comedy Dave opposite Lil Dicky. Previously, she’s also been seen starring on ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., a Marvel series that ran for seven seasons.

Chloe Bennet knows what it’s like to straddle two worlds, and not just in ‘Interior Chinatown’
By Whitney Friedlander   Nov. 18, 2024

[Detective Lana Lee, played by Chloe Bennet,] is brought in to help with the case because of “cultural considerations,” as Lisa Gilroy’s Det. Sarah Green snidely puts it in a televised news conference. Never mind that Lana knows nothing about the community.
*  *  *
Bennet, born in Chicago as Chloe Wang — her mother is white and her father is Chinese — is used to these comments. She eventually took her father’s first name as her stage surname after she had trouble booking roles. She explained her decision in a viral 2017 Instagram comment and in subsequent interviews, saying that a casting director told her, “You’re not quite white enough for the [lead] role, but you’re not quite Asian enough for the best friend role.”

“I’m kind of used to my identity being cannon fodder,” Bennet says in a recent Zoom interview. “It’s like open territory for people to have a fun game of guessing what I could be or what I could not be, or how much I am of something.”
*  *  *
The version of the character from the book, who is named Karen, is also biracial. Yu says that is to show that she can, for better or worse, navigate between a procedural where cardboard cop characters take out organized crime in roughly 44 minutes and another reality, where a waiter searches for his identity.
*  *  *
The TV version of this character has more attributes, in part because Yu says Bennet made him ponder questions about the character’s backstory. She says she wanted to create enough layers to the performance so that anyone who rewatches the show after knowing the twist will still find surprises and that this character who is forced to straddle two worlds “has had this identity crisis and that’s the most consistent thing about her.”

“Chloe is tactile and she has a way of making things more grounded and trying to find the reality for herself through small details,” Yu says, explaining that they’d talk about what the inside of the character’s car or apartment would look like.
*  *  *
As for what’s next in her career, she’s working on developing a new project, though she doesn’t provide specifics. Yu says there’s potential for a second season, but audiences will have to watch to see what it might mean for Bennet’s character.

“I’ve been a vessel for a lot of different things, and I am much more interested in developing my own stories,” she says.

Chloe Bennet Joins Jonas Brothers in Disney+ Christmas Movie (EXCLUSIVE)
By Ethan Shanfeld    January 30, 2025
https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/chloe-bennet-jonas-brothers-christmas-movie-1236290229/

Chloe Bennet will join the Jonas Brothers in their upcoming Christmas comedy movie for Disney+.

The “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and “Interior Chinatown” actor will play Joe Jonas’ love interest in the film, which is slated for the 2025 holiday season.

Variety announced the project, which has the working title “Jonas Brothers Christmas Movie,” on Tuesday. It sees Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas burnt out after a six-month tour, eager to get home to their families to celebrate Christmas. Joe, on the other hand, feels disconnected from his brothers and wishes they could spend more time together. As they try to make it home to New York from London, a random disaster — or is it a Christmas miracle? — keeps them stranded overseas. “To find their way home, they’ll need to rediscover what it means to be brothers,” per the logline.

Bennet’s character, Lucy, is a cardiothoracic surgeon and childhood friend of Joe’s. Sparks fly when they bump into each other at the airport. Bennet is also known for her roles in “Nashville,” “Valley Girl” and “Dave.”
