Earlier today, Robert Downey Jr. ("Chef") participated in a Reddit AMA to help promote his new film,
The Judge. During it, he was asked by one user if he would open to appearing in the
second season of Marvel's
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. "
Nothing is impossible. But there might be a fair amount of red tape involved in something like that," Downey Jr. explained, "
I love Clark Gregg, and am pleased the show is doing so well."
The first season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. included guest appearances from Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) and Sif (Jaimie Alexander). Even with all of that the show has been struggling in the ratings. Could the ratings get a much needed lift if Iron Man/Tony Stark dropped in to say hello? Probably, but the true question is: would those extra viewers tune in the following week? No clue, but it's probably worth a shot.
In the wake of The Battle of New York, the world has changed forever. An extraordinary landscape of wonders has been revealed! In response, mysteriously resurrected Agent Phil Coulson assembles an elite team of skilled agents and operatives: Melinda May, Grant Ward, Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons and new recruit/computer hacker Skye. Together, they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. But every answer unearths even more tantalizing questions that reverberate across the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe: Who is "The Clairvoyant”? What is Hydra’s sinister master plan? What dark secret lies behind Skye’s puzzling origins? And most importantly of all, who can be trusted?
“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” stars Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson, Chloe Bennet as Skye, Ming-Na Wen as Agent Melinda May, Brett Dalton as Agent Grand Ward, Iain De Caestecker as Agent Leo Fitz and Elizabeth Henstridge as Agent Jemma Simmons.
