Is Clark Gregg cool or what? He frequently responds to fan questions on twitter so if you feel inclined, feel free to tweet him. If you look close, you'll notice that he's responding to a couple of CBMers in the twitter feed.
"Agent Coulson was one of the guys who wasn't really in the comic books, and he [had] a very kind of small role in Iron Man. And I was just very lucky that they chose to expand that character and chosen to put him more into the universe of it. It's really a blast!... I get to do some exciting things in some of the new stuff."
— Gregg on the character's expansion in Thor
In August 2011, Marvel announced that Coulson would be the subject of a couple of direct-to-video short films called "Marvel One-Shots". The "Marvel One-Shots" both star Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson, offering up two self-contained stories about the day in the life of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Gregg stated of the short films, "Some [would be] the connective tissue between the movies [of the Marvel Cinematic Universe] and others are behind-the-scenes in the day of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent... In one of them there's a daily crisis [in which] a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent deals with the World Security Council and one of our super heroes." The first short film, entitled Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant, is scheduled to be released on the Thor Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D on September 13, 2011, and will take place after the plots of Iron Man 2, Thor, and The Incredible Hulk, but before the upcoming film The Avengers. No date has been set for the second short film, titled Marvel One-Shot: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer..., which will take place after Coulson leaves Tony Stark's lab during Iron Man 2, and before he arrives solo at the crater site in Thor.
