Cobie Smulders plays superspy Maria Hill but she’s authorized to drop hints about Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Joss Whedon revealed Smulders will appear in the first episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. but is committed to the final season of How I Met Your Mother so she will not be a regular.
While SHIELD did not appear in Iron Man 3, the secret agency is a big part of the Captain America sequel and the tone is very different.
“Oh yes, very much,” she tells Crave Online. “It’s an entirely different movie [from The Avengers] too. It’s very much reality based and they try to bring the character into the world of now. He was very much affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D. so watching that dynamic play out is what the movie is.”
Will Maria Hill be a part of Avengers: Age of Ultron?
“I don’t know much about Ultron. I have some reading to do, but I’m excited. This is the mystery of Marvel. I don’t know how Maria Hill is affiliated with the Avengers sequel but we’ll see. I’m excited to read the script if it comes my way.”
Smulders will guest star on Agents of SHIELD this season but could Maria Hill sign on for the series as a regular in Season Two?
“I don’t even know. It was announced and then all these questions come out. They are an amazing cast. They have amazing story lines and if they want to write one that involves me, I’d be happy to do it, but we’ll see.”
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premieres September 23rd.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier arrives in April.
