One of the main questions everyone is asking about ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is just how does Clarke Gregg’s doomed character Agent Coulson come back from the dead? Gregg talked to
Entertainment Weekly and gave some insider details on his character and the character's return.
“I thought they were pranking me a little bit because there was so much blood on the set of The Avengers,” said Gregg.
“I kept waiting to see, are we going to shoot a version where [Loki] misses? And they didn’t, so I was really surprised to get that call and I wanted to make sure it didn’t do anything to undermine what we achieved there and when [writer-director Joss Whedon] explained the mystery and how they planned to deal with it, with Agent Coulson being around, I was very sold.”
Gregg even feels that he can't get too cocky because after being dead once. He knows Whedon can always kill him again.
“I have a feeling if they killed me off again it would be for good so I’m very careful to read the end of the script every time I get one. It’s like getting struck by lightning. I kind of hope it hits somebody else first before it comes back to me.”
Gregg added:
“Agent Coulson represents the people who don’t have superpowers, the guys who actually can be killed — or at least seem to be and yet come back sometimes … Marvel has such a lock on how to do really incredibly visual affects and stunts that we’ve got stuff on our show that I just don’t think we’ve seen on TV before.”
