SHIELD Comic Con News

[Black Eye Guy]

The guys over at SuperHeroHype were live blogging the SHIELD panel, and then ended up showing the whole pilot, he described it at "excellent" and "pitch perfect Joss"

I didn't read the whole thing, just cuz their might be spoilers (they confirm how Coulson is alive, and I stopped reading there)

And Entertainment Weekly confirmed Cobie Smulders will be in the pilot and possibly guest star

It's official: Cobie Smulders is reprising her Avengers role in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
In fact, the How I Met Your Mother star appears in the very first episode, re-teaming her with Clark Gregg's resurrected Agent Coulson, in a pilot that's been kept under wraps by the network.

"I wanted very much to have Cobie in the pilot because as much as anyone else, she IS SHIELD," says the pilot's writer-director Joss Whedon in a statement to EW. "She's cool and commanding, and has the dry humor that plays so well with Clark's. Also, if she's in it I get to hang out with Cobie."

Smulders played the super-serious and super-capable Agent Maria Hill in the 2012 Avengers blockbuster. She's expected to occasionally appear in ABC's TV spinoff "” it's tricky because of her HIMYM commitment on rival network CBS. But with her hit comedy entering its final season "¦ who knows? Perhaps, Smulders will join the S.H.I.E.L.D. team full time if the ABC series returns for a second year.

The heavily buzzed Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is making its Comic-Con debut at this very moment "” and fans in the room are going to get a big surprise. Stay tuned for our full coverage of what's about to go down"¦ and in the meantime, here's 5 other things we know about the pilot.

Excellent stuff! I can't wait until this show finally airs.

Now that How I Met Your Mother is moving into its final season I'm hoping Cobie Smulders will get an offer to come into the show as a regular cast member.
