In een interview met Crave Online reageert acteur Clark Gregg op de geruchten dat zijn personage, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson, zou sterven in The Avengers.
Gregg: "Im flattered that people care, but I wish they would stop saying this because theyre going to put it in somebodys mind! Im talking to them about doing IRON MAN 3 right now, and somebodys going 'Maybe Agent Coulson should die,' and Im like, 'Hey, hey, hey! This is the best job Ive ever had! Stop talking about killing Agent Coulson off. No, no, no. I talked to Joss Whedon early on. I said 'Hey, why is everyone saying this?' And he said, 'Yeah, Ive done that before. Dont worry. Youre safe.'"
Gregg: "Its an animated show that theyre working on now thats really going to be kind of groundbreaking. Theres some really cool scripts with Agent Coulson. Its about some younger superheroes who are kind of undercover at a high school in New York City, and Principal Coulson is their minder. Hes undercover also as the principal, and its just funny."
