Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.: How Did Agent Coulson Survive?
How was Clarke Gregg’s fan-favorite doomed character Agent Coulson resurrected for ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Well, you won’t learn the answer to that burning question in the show’s first episode. You getsome of the answer. But not everything right away.
“I thought they were pranking me a little bit because there was so much blood on the set ofThe Avengers,” said Gregg while on the carpet of EW and ABC’s party in New York City on Tuesday. “I kept waiting to see, are we going to shoot a version where [Loki] misses? And they didn’t, so I was really surprised to get that call and I wanted to make sure it didn’t do anything to undermine what we achieved there and when [writer-director Joss Whedon] explained the mystery and how they planned to deal with it, with Agent Coulson being around, I was very sold.”
Asked specifically how Coulson comes back, Gregg said: “He’s back. He’s thinks he knows how he’s back. We’ll have to see.”
But even brought back from the dead once to star in S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn’t have Gregg feeling too cocky — Whedon could always kill him again. “I have a feeling if they killed me off again it would be for good so I’m very careful to read the end of the script every time I get one. It’s like getting struck by lightning. I kind of hope it hits somebody else first before it comes back to me.”
Gregg added: “Agent Coulson represents the people who don’t have superpowers, the guys who actually can be killed — or at least seem to be and yet come back sometimes … Marvel has such a lock on how to do really incredibly visual affects and stunts that we’ve got stuff on our show that I just don’t think we’ve seen on TV before.”
Added co-star Chloe Bennet about the appeal of the show: “If you love The Avengers, if you love any of Joss Whedon’s work, you’re going to absolutely love the show. It’s about these people living in a super world dealing with being human. You see these superhero movies and you see the superheroes struggle but you don’t see how humans do in a world like that. That’s what will draw people in. It’s so human. And it’s so super and awesome still.”
The Rising Tide
ABC launched a new mysterious website. The Rising Tide looks like it is a website connected to Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., which was picked up this week by ABC as a new TV series, which will start in the fall of this year.
The Rising Tide might be an organization that will feature in Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. to uncover S.H.I.E.L.D. and their clandestine missions. The headline of the side says:
WHO IS S.H.I.E.L.D.? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? SUPER-POWERS ARE REAL. ALIENS EXIST. WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE? WE WILL UNCOVER THE TRUTH. WE WILL NOT REMAIN SILENT ANY LONGER.

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a G.O. for next season on ABC, and below EW.com has the show’s official logo.
It’s steely.
It’s shiny.
It’s got a little lens-flare action.
It’s everything a gang of crime-stoppers facing a world of fantastic threats could want. And this marks just the beginning of the S.H.I.E.L.D. news coming your way over the next week. ABC will debut the first promo during the Once Upon a Time finale Sunday night. Here’s the logo:
Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Picked Up By ABC
It shouldn't surprise people that a lot of critics and TV viewers were eagerly awaiting the announcement that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. would be picked up to series. This is probably ABC's most high profile series for the 2013-2014 and the reason why is completely obvious. Not only is it from Joss Whedon, creator of the critically acclaimed and beloved cult show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but it's also a Marvel show that essentially spawns from Whedon's highly-grossing and incredibly popular The Avengers film from last summer.
This news comes at the end of a long week of frantic announcements from the various networks about new show pick-ups, renewals and cancellations, but it's probably the one that will definitely have people celebrating as we head into the weekend. Whedon, his brother Jed Whedon and Jed's wife, Maurissa Tancharoen (who all collaborated on Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog) are penning the pilot episode.
Known cast members include: ER's Ming-Na stars as Agent Melinda May, The Avengers' Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson, Killing Lincoln's Brett Dalton as gruff rising star Agent Grant Ward, Elizabeth Henstridge as science whiz Agent Gemma Simmons, Iain De Caestecker as tech guru Agent Leo Fitz and Nashville's Chloe Bennet as Skye, a superhero-obsessed woman.
Rumor has it that ABC will be pushing hard for this series, perhaps beginning its marketing campaign during Sunday's Once Upon a Time season finale.
There's no doubt that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is an eagerly anticipated show for fall 2013, so we can't wait to start seeing footage of it!

Interview: Clark Gregg About Agent Coulson's Return On Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Clark Gregg, 'Trust Me' Star, Opens Up About Agent Coulson's Return In 'Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.'
As it turns out, Coulson wasn't quite dead yet. Gregg (as Coulson) will headline the new "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." television series this fall, which Gregg spoke about in detail -- well, at least as much detail as the always secretive Marvel would allow -- in our chat this past weekend.
But, first, Gregg is at New York's Tribeca Film Festival in support of "Trust Me," a movie that he wrote, directed and starred in. He plays Howard, a low-rent former child star who now specializes in representing child stars. Howard lucks out when he discovers Lydia (13-year-old newcomer Saxon Sharbino), who just may be the next big thing -- but who also may take Howard down a dark path he never envisioned.
I met Gregg in a very crowded Manhattan hotel lobby -- so crowded that Gregg suggested we take some chairs outside, because a Manhattan sidewalk was better suited for an interview than the "zoo" of that lobby. Along with the understandably shy but delightful Sharbino, we discussed "Trust Me," the return of Agent Coulson and how Gregg was almost in "The Untouchables."
"Trust Me" has a tonal shift I wasn't expecting.
I thought I was writing a goofy comedy about the business ...

Is that really how it works? Then it becomes something else at the end?
I mean, I don't feel like it changes at the end. I feel like there's a gradually evolving darker component. But, yeah, it came blazing out of me, and I realized when I read it back, "Oh, this is different." This is representative of my ambivalent feelings that I have about Hollywood and about kind of the distorted concept of stardom. Especially in this celebrity-obsessed moment.

Interview: Joss Whedon Talks Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. And More
Joss Whedon Teases His Marvel-ous Future Plans
For the last 16 years, the voice of one man has rung louder in my brain than any other as the worlds, characters, scenarios, lessons and lines Joss Whedon ushered into reality resonantly deeply within all levels of my consciousness, turning me into a lifetime card carrying member of The Whedonverse.
The last year has seen our ranks rise dramatically in number as Whedon took control of Marvel's The Avengers and created one of the most satisfying and sensational action films of the millennium. On Sunday, the film took home top prizes at The MTV Movie Awards, where I caught up with Joss to talk about the next phase of his career.
After first thanking him for creating Sunnydale (an absolute must), I went on to ask about the status of The Avengers sequel, ABC's hopeful Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot and the long-rumored Dr. Horrible 2. And while Joss is not someone who accidentally reveals anything, these teasey tidbits will certainly help pass the time until we get some more official news.
Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.: New Poster
We can't wait to finally get a date for when the pilot of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be broadcasted. We are hoping this will be after the regular TV season, at the end of May or early June. But very likely, if the show will be picked up by ABC (it would be very weird if they wouldn't), then we have to wait till September.
For now we have a new poster for you:
Casting: J. August Richard Casted For Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
It would seem that, despite saying he doesn’t want to cast too many veterans of his older shows in S.H.I.E.L.D., Joss Whedon's not above the idea if he finds the right fit for the role. So welcome Angel’s J. August Richard’s to the team, at least for the pilot.
Richards’ role is being kept classified for now, which fits with the modus operandi for this embryonic series. A lot about the new Marvel show is under wraps at this point, including whether US network ABC has decided to green light an actual series based on that first episode. While it would appear to be a no-brainer given the impact of those big-screen Avengers, the US TV industry is a hard place to second guess, a land where good shows die on the vine and moronic behemoths lumber on for years.
