Agents of SHIELD‘s Phil Coulson Is Dead, Long Live Clark Gregg

Former SHIELD film director Phil Coulson is no stranger to dying , but after his most late last in Agents of SHIELD , it seemed unbelievable that he ’d be making a return this summer with the rest of the show ’s characters . But then , amazingly , Coulson decide to show up in the first Agents of SHIELD time of year six dawdler . Or , Clark Gregg did , at least .

As unlikely ( and kinda boring ) as Coulson come back from the dead again would be , that does n’t imply that Gregg ’s metre with Agents of SHIELD and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is over quite yet . In a recent promo for the series , Gregg explained that while Coulson is quite deceased for the time being , the mystery of who his young case ’s identity is like a shot tied to him .

Because Agents of SHIELD is somehow steering completely exonerated of Avengers : Infinity War - related variety to realism , it ’s unlikely that the new Coulson will have any connectedness to Thanos or the Infinity Stones . Evil clones being awakened from cryostasis , though , sounds like exactly the sort of superspy nonsense one might await to seewhen Agents of SHIELD revert this summer .
