Joss Whedon and the cast and creative team of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. answered fan questions and previewed the upcoming series in a special Marvel liveblog. The new series will be set in The Avengers universe following the Iron Man 3. Clark Gregg reprises his role as Agent Phil Coulson in the series. Cobie Smulders returns as Agent Maria Hill in the pilot.

 

“Every week, it’s not going to be some new hero. It could be a device, or a mystery, or anything. They want to switch it up and deal with every aspect–the heartfelt stuff, the spy stuff, everything,” said Whedon. Continue reading AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Preview
