This new series directed by Joss Whedon predates the first Avengers film, apparently, since Agent Coulson a.k.a. Phil seems to be alive and well and posing pretty fiercely front and center. Unless, of course, he actually didn’t die and it was all part of Colonel Fury’s plot to trick the Avengers into coming together as a team to fight Loki and his friends. But looking at the characters I’d say it’s a cross between Criminal Minds and Mission Impossible.
The show also stars Ming-Na Wen (Mulan), Brett Dalton, Chloe (Wang) Bennet, Elizabeth Henstridge and Iain De Caestecker. Cobie Smuthers will reprise Agent Maria Hill for the pilot episode. No word yet on whether we’ll get to see any of Marvel’s superheroes but I think it would be a great idea to at least feature one of the secondary characters every now and then…
