Cobie Smulders: We'll See "Another Side" To Maria Hill And Nick Fury's Relationship In CAP 2
The How I Met Your Mother star talks more about her role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., hinting that we'll get to see a different side of Maria Hill's relationship with Nick Fury explored in Cap's next big screen outing. Check it out!
"Yeah, the world is a very unstable place," Cobie Smulders said when asked about the S.H.I.E.L.D. centric nature of next year's Captain America: The Winter Soldier. "Cap and Romanoff are basically Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and they go off and do one thing. We’re overseeing everything, and there’s a communication breakdown... I can’t say anything! But it is very much about S.H.I.E.L.D. -- it’s all about S.H.I.E.L.D., basically. But there are so many different components to that agency. Maria plays a small part in the S.H.I.E.L.D. universe, but I like to think an important one. We’ll see." A communication breakdown? The actress then went on to talk about the differences between the tones of Marvel's "Phase Two" movies, and how she thinks her roles in both Cap's next movie and The Avengers: Age of Ultron will ultimately impact the chances of her making another appearance in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. after the pilot. "The [S.H.I.E.L.D.] cast was amazing," she added. "Clark [Gregg] is my bud. So if they want me to come in and want me to play it, I’d be happy to come and play." As for whether we're going to finally see Maria and Nick Fury butt heads in the near future, Smulders said: "Yeah, we were definitely pushing that in The Avengers. In Cap 2 you see another side of their relationship."
