1. The pilot hints at how mild-mannered kick-ass bureaucrat Agent Coulson (Clarke Gregg) was resurrected to lead the team after being killed off in The Avengers (his S.H.I.E.L.D. colleagues say he must “never know the truth” about his death). Yet you’ll have to keep watching to learn the full story. “We can’t wait to pull the curtain back on that,” says co-creator Jed Whedon. “[But] we’re going to take our time.”
2. The S.H.I.E.L.D. story will work in tandem with the Marvel films, both past and upcoming. In fact, the first episode will pick up a storyline that’s familiar from one of the Marvel hits — and it’s not The Avengers. “We plan on trying to weave in between the films and try to make them more rewarding on both ends,” says Jed Whedon, who points out the trick is to make the audience not ask a certain fanboy-bar-fight-style question: “In any of these [episodes], you can always ask: ‘Why don’t they just call Iron Man?’” Yeah, that would be annoying! So our next question is: Why don’t they just call Iron Man? “They are aware of each other,” Whedon says of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team and the metal-suited Malibu playboy, “but they do have to have their own lives.”
3. Here’s a question from the Internets that will be answered in the pilot: Does J. August Richards play Cage? Expect that and other revelations at the Comic-Con panel, just not a ton of them. “We’ll finally be able to answer some questions,” says co-creator Maurissa Tancharoen. “Though I’m sure we’ll have to stay on the vague end of the spectrum.”

Iron Man 3: Review
Standing as the first film to serve as a sequel to two film franchises, Iron Man 3 is ambitious, challenging, and unprecedented in its execution.
“Nothing’s been the same since New York,” says Tony Stark in the trailer for Iron Man 3, and it’s easy to see that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has indeed changed dramatically ever since a fallen and embittered Norse God opened a wormhole in the Manhattan sky and summoned a tribe of Chitauri (and three giant robot-snakes) to take down the human race.
Marvel films have carved a name into fun and light film-making, even the first Iron Man, with its roots planted firmly into the ground, managed to be elevate itself to true comedy with Robert Downey Jr.’s charismatic performance.
Now it’s five years later, and since it’s a follow up to the Iron Man franchise and the Avengersfranchise, Iron Man 3 carried the distinct burden of its predecessor by being forced to acknowledge and fit into a much larger universe at hand.
The film begins with a flash backward to the 90s (as introduced by the nostalgia-inducing “I’m Blue”) to establish a few long lost friends of Tony’s. From there, we’re catapulted to a terrorism-torn present, complete with a shell-shocked Tony, still traumatized by the events ofThe Avengers.
Having seen the type of power that he’ll never be able to have, Tony has been busy tinkering in his workshop on a number of different suits. Everything has changed since the first Iron Man installment. Pepper is the CEO of Stark Industries, Happy is head of security, and a terrorist named The Mandarin is making headlines for a string of explosive attacks on the American population.
Iron Man 3: First Reactions From People Who Saw It
While full reviews of Iron Man 3 are still embargoed, viewers have taken to Twitter to reveal their first reactions to the film.
Iron Man 3 will be hitting theaters in the next few weeks, and a group of individuals were able to attend an early screening of the film today. The majority of them had high praises for the film. A majority praised character development, specifically of Pepper Potts, and the comedy, which apparently is a major part of the next Iron Man film. Below you’ll find first reactions to the film taken from Twitter.
Iron Man 3: Possible Post Credit Scene Details Known
It starts with a close shot of Tony Stark on a couch talking about his various traumas, obviously he’s talking to someone, as if he was seeing a shrink, the tone of the scene is light and supposedly funny. Then we discover that the person he’s talking to is Bruce Banner/Mark Ruffalo, who fell asleep because of Tony’s boring story. Tony remarks that Banner has been sleeping during the most part of his story and yells at him, and Banner just mumbles and says “You know, I’m not that kind of doctor!” Then Tony recalls another memory and resumes his monologue, and then we see Banner starting to fall asleep again.
The source isn't 100% trustworthy, so we can't say for sure yet if this will really be the scene.
