Oswalt’s history with the series goes all the way back to its first season. First, the comedian played Agent Eric Koenig. However, following the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, HYDRA sleeper agents killed Koenig. Oswalt would then return to portray his identical brothers Billy, Sam, and Thurston throughout the seasons.
Per the initial report and its first look at Oswalt’s return, it appears he will play the first Koenig to join the spy organization. Given the time-travel aspects of the final season, it is likely he will play a role in helping the ragtag group of agents through their mission and getting back home.
