The reason I'm leaning more towards it being SHIELD rather than Ultron is that he said that he couldn't say why he was in costume again. However, it's public knowledge that he went back for AoU re-shoots, so why would he have to keep that secret?

I'm guessing he's the Bill Paxton for the back half of season 2.
Wonder how many episodes?
It's great news! Solid actor, solid!
He could be the next Lucy Lawless, though 
This! Awesome frakking news.
The way they're vaguely alluding to his role, I'm getting the vibe that maybe his character will be the Admiral Cain of this series....
He'd be perfect for Supreme Intelligence. 
Fantastic news! Hopefully he'll be better utilized than he was on Dexter.
That being said, I'm still hoping she'll return in some way.
Don't say shit like that!He could be the next Lucy Lawless, though

I doubt it will be something like that. EJO is in a whole different league from Lawless.
Awesome news!
Skye, what do you hear?
Nothing but the rain.
I'm guessing that SHIELD resumes some sort of regular status again and that he is appointed the new head of the agency over Coulson because Coulson chose to remain a fugitive rather than surrendering to the government. The only way they'll allow Coulson and their team to rejoin officially is if they have a government appointed agency head to oversee them.
The way that's worded doesn't suggest an enemy to me, but still someone who will shake things up for the team. Also, they made sure to mention Coulson's status as director. I'm probably reading too much into it, but that's the first thing that occurred to me.
But Age of Ultron's blurb states that S.H.I.E.L.D. is gone. True, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has made that statement not 100% literal, but what you posit seems like too big a stretch for Age of Ultron's premise to remain true.
Awesome news!

The raised the show's awesome factor just by announcing his casting. He doesn't even have to appear on the show now!
