Agent Coulson Lives! Will Appear In ‘S.H.I.E.L.D’! Updated: Coulson To Headline!

Another huge day at NYCC, another HUGE announcement!

The Marvel Television Presents panel has just wrapped up, and in its conclusion dropped a huge bombshell. Jeph Loeb announced at the panel that fan-favourite Agent Coulson is in fact alive, and that Clark Gregg would be returning to the role for the SHIELD pilot.

Gregg of course has played Agent Coulson in many of the Phase One offerings, including Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, and The Avengers.

Writer/Director Joss Whedon also stated during the panel “There was never gonna be a SHIELD show without Agent Coulson,”

Gregg is also set to play Principal Coulson in the next season of Ultimate Spider-Man.

Excited? How upset were you when you thought he died? How will he even return!?

Update: As MTV Geek and others are now learning, it appears as though Gregg’s Agent Coulson is actually set to headline the S.H.I.E.L.D series!
