Cobie Smulders To Play S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Maria Hill

Variety is reporting that How I Met Your Mother’s Cobie Smulders is confirmed to play S.H.I.E.L.D agent Maria Hill in the Avengers.  The deal is reportedly the same nine picture deal that most of the actors have agreed to that would put her in pretty much any Avenger related film.  Maria Hill has an interesting past and has played a pretty big role in more recent Avengers stories.  I will be interesting to see what direction they choose for her in these films.
