Clark Gregg in Awe of the Avengers

Clark Gregg has been around for a while.  He’s a well respected writer, director, and actor but he’s best known to us as Agent Coulson, the glue that holds the Marvel movie universe together.  When he sat down with SFX Magazine, he let them know what it was like to be in the same room with the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

“It’s a little hard to believe, coming from a supporting role that they kept beefing up and adding to new movies, that I would actually walk into that room I walked into and see that collection of people in their various versions or incredibly worked up neoprene. When I walked in the first thing I did was go, “Oh my god! Look at all these actors in costumes!” But then you look at them a little closer and you go, “I just walked into a room with Captain America, Tony Stark…oh my god!” And then you go, “That’s Jeremy Renner and Robert Downey Jr!” Then all of a sudden Sam [Jackson] comes in and gives me a look and I’m like, “There’s som big problems we’ve got to take care of so let’s go do it!”

“The thing about The Avengers that I think is clear from the trailers is that they’ve spent a lifetime preparing for a moment like this. Whatever is coming down the pike, everyone is taking care of business to the best of their abilities. It may cause some tensions but they’re going to hit it head on.”

“I had to pinch myself because I’m not that jaded, I got to show up and put on the Coulson suit and I’ve got enough lines that I have a trailer, plus I get to do this amazing script by [director] Joss Whedon. I don’t know how I got to be a part of it, I just feel very lucky about it.”
