We’ve known for a while that Clark Gregg‘s dear departed Agent Coulson would be coming back to the Marvel Universe for S.H.I.E.L.D. The question has been how exactly that will happen. Was Coulson’s “death” a set-up by Fury? Might Coulson’s S.H.I.E.L.D. scenes be flashbacks? Could the new Coulson be a Life Model Decoy or a Skrull? Was the Coulson who got stabbed by Loki a Life Model Decoy or a Skrull?
Joss Whedon had something to say about it to a crowd at SXSW. Sadly (or happily—your mileage may vary) it didn’t clear up all that much. There’s still plenty of room for us to be Jossed.

The ever-Fandom-friendly Clark Gregg tweeted this last night, just so we could all have a good exclamation of surprise about it. It seems the rumors of S.H.I.E.L.D. starting to shoot in January were true, and if so we might see it as early as this fall.

You can put your plans to avenge Coulson on hold–’cause he ain’t dead. Clark Gregg showed up at the Marvel Television panel at New York Comic Con last night to help announce that everyone’s favorite agent would be kicking butt and deadpan snarking in the upcoming TV show S.H.I.E.L.D., the pilot of which is being directed by Joss Whedon.

eFX is a movie collectibles company that prepared a number of really to die for items at San Diego Comic Con, including a set of Agent Coulson’s beloved Captain America trading cards, Thor’s formal helmet, and a few gorgeous reproductions of Captain America propaganda posters seen in Captain America: The First Avenger. But alas… only a tiny fraction of us can go to San Diego Comic Con, and everybody had to satisfy themselves with their Hunger Games propaganda poster instead. Just me?
But now eFX is swinging into production on a number of Avengers items, including the cards (in both bloody and not-bloody versions), which you can see after the jump.

That’s right: it’s that pivotal scene from The Avengers, you know, the one that everybody is half-expecting them to retcon or in some way show to be, well, not the entire story? Agent Phil Coulson’s death scene.
Now, I’m going to level with you. It’s very likely these edits were made with an eye towards the censorship of violence for a non-American market, not because of an attempt to make Coulson look less injured in order to make his continued existence look more likely when it is eventually revealed. And I’m fully aware that creating greater awareness of the edit will only serve to fuel the conspiracy theories about Coulson’s resurrection, but you know what? I don’t care.
Because this sort of conspiracy theory, born out of love for a character, is what fandom is all about. Rock on, Coulson believers.

Hot Toys keeps trying to make geeks go bankrupt. It’s not nice and I demand they stop immediately. Who am I kidding? KEEP MAKING THE AWESOME. We previously showcased their astoundingly realistic Loki statue as well as the moveable-haired Black Widow from their Avengers line. Just yesterday we were happily surprised to find out Agent Coulson is getting his time in the spotlight as well. But while we wait for full images of his figure to be released, Hot Toys has dropped Tony Stark on our doorstep. Take a look at his various accessories and let us know if you think the unmasked hero looks enough like Robert Downey Jr. for your tastes.
