Finally, there has to be at least one Marvel question. So while Whedon was in Austin to promote Shakespeare notably his light, airy adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, he paused ever so briefly to answer a question about the S.H.I.E.L.D. TV pilot. Acknowledging the presence of seemingly-deceased Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) on the panel Gregg plays Leonato in the Much Ado ensemble Whedon tried to explain how the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent returns from the dead.
Ill tell you guys this, Heimlich, Whedon joked, before effectively clamming up about the show. I cant talk about it, he admitted, but said that he did bring Coulson back from the dead for the ABC drama. Yes. For realsies.
