McGee, who started as the team’s tech genius, has grown immensely over the years, showing his leadership skills in various high-pressure situations. With Gibbs no longer part of the team full-time, many fans have speculated that McGee could be the natural successor to lead the team.
Murray didn’t shy away from the idea but acknowledged that McGee’s journey is far from predictable. “McGee has always been loyal to Gibbs, and he’s learned so much from him,” Murray said. “But McGee has his own way of leading—he’s not going to do it exactly like Gibbs.”
While McGee may not instantly fill Gibbs’ shoes, it’s clear his character will play a key role in guiding the next generation of NCIS agents. Fans are eager to see how McGee will continue to evolve as the team’s next potential leader.
