Today was another fun-filled day at Comic-Con and within all the panels and Q&A sessions, it was revealed that a familiar face will be reprising her role for Joss Whedon's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Actress Cobie Smulders is scheduled to once again portray Agent Maria Hill on the new action series when it premieres this fall. Smulders originated the role in last year's hit The Avengers, and is rumored to be participating in the long-awaited sequel. Smulders will be the second original cast member of the movie to join Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Clark Gregg is signed-on to resurrect his character Agent Phil Coulson.
Now before you jump for joy over the news there is a downside to the story. Smulders is only scheduled to reprise Maria Hill for the show's pilot episode. As TV fans may recognize, Smulders is still under contract to perform in How I Met Your Mother's final season on CBS this fall. Despite her appearance on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. being a one-shot, there is a possibility that the actress and character could appear in future episodes. Regardless, it is still a casting coup that will further pique fans' interest in the show.
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is scheduled to premiere on September 24.
