This was posted on Facebook today.

All that did was take me to my News Feed.

^^It took me to Facebook's default log in page.

I see a picture of a little blond kid holding fish.

Is that supposed to be Coulson?

 

[AvBaur]

It's a SHIELD sign that says "No weapons or alien tech beyond this point"

Maybe you can see it this way: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/71891_474597692605084_1042829298_n.jpg ?

(or you could just look for the official SHIELD facebook page)

Joss Whedon calls S.H.I.E.L.D. "very hopeful' and that "it is definitely a Marvel show".

 

[Kirby]

I hope Smulders does join S.H.I.E.L.D. in some some capacity, I really liked her in Avengers.

The episode where the other S.H.I.E.L.D agents discover that she was once a Canadian pop star would be LEGEN-wait-for-it-DARY!

Clark Gregg hints at Coulson's return and possible future movie appearances...

After people see the show, they’ll have some clue as to why I’m still there, still breathing. But I don’t think they’ll know everything…

[Captain Craig]

If his return is dealt with, as is speculated here, as part of the season one arc of the show AND Iron Man 3 takes place a year after the events of The Avengers it could fit in right there.

The SHIELD TV show could take place during that year. Then however the events of Thor Dark World and Cap: Winter Soldier unfold Coulson could easily return in Avengers 2 as SHIELD season 2 starts(assuming it's the greatness we hope and has a S2).

So I guess they're not just going with "Fury faked the death, end of story"...

A S.H.I.E.L.D. fansite reports, without official confirmation, that Whedon/Angel alum J. August Richards has a part on the show.

A S.H.I.E.L.D. fansite reports, without official confirmation, that Whedon/Angel alum J. August Richards has a part on the show.

I only ever found him adequate on Angel but I haven't seen him since to see if I'd think otherwise.

The official title of the show will be "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.".

The official synopsis...

Joss Whedon shows us not all heroes are super with "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Fresh from his role in the summer’s box office smash, Marvel's The Avengers, Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) returns to the worldwide law enforcement organization S.H.I.E.L.D. He puts together a small, highly trained, team of Agents to tackle the cases that haven’t been classified yet, the new, the strange and the unknown. That team consists of straight arrow Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), an expert in combat and espionage; pilot and martial artist Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen); and brilliant if socially awkward scientists Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge). They’ll be joined by civilian new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet). Prepare for an epic adventure that showcases the hope and wonder of the human spirit. This is a world of Super Heroes, aliens and the unusual – of action, spectacle and world spanning stories. The show will speak to the human condition through the lens of our very human, non-powered S.H.I.E.L.D agents – that together we are greater than we are apart, and that we can make a difference in the world.

Executive Produced and co-written by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen ("Dollhouse," "Dr.Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog"), Jeffrey Bell ("Angel," "Alias") and Jeph Loeb ("Smallville," "Lost," "Heroes") comes Marvel’s first live-action TV series, "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

The official title of the show will be "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.".

And not a single person is ever going to call it that.

 

[C.E. Evans]

The official title of the show will be "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.".

And not a single person is ever going to call it that.

Nope. Just like how people don't refer to Tron as Disney's Tron.

 

[Corran Horn]

I still think the guy who shot the nuke at NYC should be a regular.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

The official title of the show will be "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.".

And not a single person is ever going to call it that.

Nope. Just like how people don't refer to Tron as Disney's Tron.

Or The Avengers as Marvel's The Avengers.

 

[Gaith]

Still, "Agents of SHIELD" is kinda clunky... I guess just plain "SHIELD" was too close to The Shield?

 

[Icemizer]

^If special agent Vic Mackey shows up I am all in.

 

[Dream]

Just call it "The Shield"!
