Have to admit, I'm not familiar with the character, but cool! Love him in Fresh Off the Boat!

Randall Park is great. Hoping he plays a sizable role in the movie.
I think they're just referring to him as SHIELD Agent Jimmy Woo from the comics. In the movie, who knows at this point.

Given that Nick Fury is coming back for Captain Marvel, I imagine SHIELD's going to make some kind of comeback in the movies. Otherwise, Fury and Maria Hill are going to be pretty much rendered useless as characters.
I'll never understand why boring ass Melinda May was made up for the TV show when Jimmy Woo exists.
Leave it Kevin Feige to know better every time.

Fury is apparently co-starring in Captain Marvel.
Am I dreaming Parallax?

Marvel needs to go ahead and greenlight Nextwave
Yea never understood why they didn't use Woo for AoS.

I don't think any of the origin movies had big roles for established characters though, so I wouldn't expect much from Fury in that movie. Haven't seen Homecoming yet, so maybe that one is different.
I mean, Coulson played a pretty prominent role in Thor.
Or Clay Quartermain.
Or Why Victoria Hand died after five appearances. (This is especially egregious.)
Wasn't he only really there for the brief scene where Thor tries to get his hammer back and for some line about Stark? Like, maybe two minutes of screen time? Even then, he was really just glue to tie things together.

If there is an Agents of Atlas movie someday, my life as a geek will be complete.
Everett K Ross and Jimmy Woo is going to be in movies. Jesus Christ we are living in a nerd golden age
No, he's relatively prominent in various scenes, not least when he personally interrogates Thor, takes away Jane's research and leads the SHIELD team that gets messed up by the Destroyer. Thor eventually ends up calling him "Son of Coul"
I mean, I'm not saying he was like, a main character or anything, but as a supporting character he definitely allows his presence to be felt in that movie.

Dude is hilarious and should complement Paul Rudd's own comedic chops nicely. Good get.
Also, whole film will be a waste if we don't get another "tip montage" scene by Luis.

Man, anything in that movie outside of Asgard is just a blur to me.
He (apparently) had four minutes of screen time in Thor. If that's what we're expecting from Fury, sure. Don't think Coulson really mattered though.
He felt more like some kind of inventory that belongs to MCU to me, like he was just there to make things seem connected rather than have an actual role. Then again, I only remembered like half his minutes.

Was starting to get a bit bored with the MCU stuff but this is definitely cool. Read the Agents of Atlas mini-series which was around 06-07 iirc and I've just seen them pop up briefly during Secret Invasion.
Do they have a lot of appearances after that in the comics or is that it?

I could see all three of them being warped into SWORD agents, because why not, it's the MCU and the rules have changed.
panther in february, woo, in ant man, if we can get pym to tell stark he and his father aint shit, i may lose it in theater
its truly glorious
SWORD is over at Fox, unfortunately, because they originated in an X-Men comic.
They got an ongoing in 2009 also by Jeff Parker. Only lasted 11 issues though. I recall a number of one shots as well.

Haha, both of the Thor movies are much of a blur to me as well. I had to strain to remember some of those scenes.
And thanks for the information! I had no idea IMDB did those kind of screen-time counts with characters.
That's (I think) actually a list a user made and thus super unreliable. I used it anyway of course.

Marvel can get creative and use SPEAR or something. Eh that probably won't happen though.

Oh shit, I didn't expect Jimmy Woo to be MCU. He seemed to be more likely to be relegated to the ghetto universe that is TV.
Fox only owns rights to mutant characters. Alpha Flight originated in an X Men comic, but Marvel Studios owns the rights to them.
Love Randall whenever I see him on-screen, looking forward to it.
People hating on May in 2017, smh
