Clark Gregg Offers Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Spoilers

Clark Gregg has portrayed Agent Phil Coulson in several Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, but he really had a chance to flesh out the character in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The show recently wrapped up Season 1, but many of the mysteries and plots will carry over into Season 2.

Gregg recently spoke to Movie Pilot, which asked if he was happy about the way the T.A.H.I.T.I. plot unfolded:

"I don't think it's fully played out, but what it turned out to be and all the different layers, I was really excited about that. This mysterious blue gentleman who seems to have brought me back to life, I love the whole idea that the biggest mystery for Coulson in Season One is to find out who's been lying to him and why about how he was really brought back to life, and that the version he was told is completely untrue. The crisis of faith he has with S.H.I.E.L.D. and Director Fury who only in the very last episode of this season do we find out why he's been deceived in a way that restores a lot of his faith in what he's been doing."

Gregg also spoke about if Coulson is as protective of his S.H.I.E.L.D. team as he was of The Avengers:

"I think perhaps in a deeper way. I think he's experienced a kind of vulnerability himself that makes people more protective of those who have vulnerability. As a guy who sacrificed the idea of a family to do this job, to protect other people, I think the relationship that he has with Skye and sometimes Simmons and Fitz is as much a family kind of relationship as he has or perhaps will ever have."

Now for the bad news. Will Joss Whedon bring him in for The Avengers: Age of Ultron?

"I don't think so. I think I would have heard about it by now, but I must say as a qualifier, the only way I ever hear about stuff like that is I get a weird phone message with not the right number of numbers on it and somebody says, 'We need to talk to you.'"
