The Avengers was not only the biggest film of last year, it might also have been one of the most fun superhero romps to have come along in years. So when the news broke that Joss Whedon’s usual collaborators were going to be bringing the world of Marvel to the small screen, this writer might have had a slight meltdown at his desk in excitement.
Now that not only has a pilot for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D been all filmed and done, but that an entire season has been commissioned by American network ABC (although seeing as both entities are owned by Disney, that was always going to happen).
The show will see Agent Coulson making his return to head up a team of elite agents to tackle the cases crossing the eyes of international security force and superhero relations officers S.H.I.E.L.D. While we don’t know much else about the show, we do know that the team will consist of the five members that you see in the picture above, who all bring their own skillset to the party.
In preparation for the shows launch, Marvel has released the first trailer for the show, and we’ve got that right here for you. Let us know what you think of the footage in the comments.
