Over the last year, Marvel
managed to successfully merge their tv and cinematic properties in a way that
has never been seen before. The fusion of both entities (tv and film) is about
to be deepened as Marvel is getting ready to start production on the anticipated
Daredevil series for Netflix.
Yesterday, Marvel
announced that they had cast Stardust and Boardwalk Empire actor, Charlie Cox
as Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, but they also released the synopsis for the
show, revealing that the show will be set in present times. If we combine that
fact, with a previous statement saying that the show will be part of the MCU,
we conclude that there might be a possibility of a crossover with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
In a recent interview
actor Clark Gregg spoke about that possibility, as well as T.A.H.I.T.I., Age of
Ultron and more.
On S.H.I.E.L.D. are
you happy with the way T.A.H.I.T.I. played out?
I don’t think it’s fully played out, but what it
turned out to be and all the different layers, I was really excited about that.
This mysterious blue gentleman who seems to have brought me back to life, I
love the whole idea that the biggest mystery for Coulson in Season One is to
find out who’s been lying to him and why about how he was really brought back
to life, and that the version he was told is completely untrue. The crisis of
faith he has with S.H.I.E.L.D. and Director Fury who only in the very last
episode of this season do we find out why he’s been deceived in a way that
restores a lot of his faith in what he’s been doing.
Has Coulson grown as protective of his
S.H.I.E.L.D. team as he was of The Avengers?
I think perhaps in a deeper way. I think he’s
experienced a kind of vulnerability himself that makes people more protective
of those who have vulnerability. As a guy who sacrificed the idea of a family
to do this job, to protect other people, I think the relationship that he has
with Skye and sometimes Simmons and Fitz is as much a family kind of
relationship as he has or perhaps will ever have.
Is there any chance Coulson could cross over to
some of the Marvel Netflix series?
I’d be really disappointed if I don’t get to
show up in New York for Daredevil, or Iron Fist was a huge favorite of mind in
comic books as a kid. I’ve had more than my share so I shouldn’t be greedy but
it would be a huge geekout moment for me if I got to meet Daniel Rand.
How about The Avengers: Age of Ultron?
Is Joss Whedon going to hook you up?
I don’t think so. I think I would have heard
about it by now, but I must say as a qualifier, the only way I ever hear about
stuff like that is I get a weird phone message with not the right number of
numbers on it and somebody says, “We need to talk to you.”
