Geek Binge: Today at New York Comic Con, Marvel was on hand to make a pretty big announcement regarding the fate of one of their most famous side characters, a character who has truly captured the hearts of geeks everywhere. Ah yes, everyone’s famous S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson is indeed on board for Joss Whedon’s S.H.I.E.L.D show and, even though we have no idea how the hell that will work, his involvement alone is still enough to get us excited.
Also I don't think he's useing any other familiar faces other than Coulson...every other character will be new.
