Agent Coulson: Showing the Superheroes How It's Done!

As I write this, there's just about 8 hours left until I can officially purchase my copy of Batman: Arkham City! Because unlike other countries, WE stick to street dates. I ALSO happen to have spent last night watching people kill zombies on the truly awesome Walking Dead premiere!

The problem, however, is that all day I've been in "superhero mode". And stuff like this isn't helping:


This is the new Marvel "One-Shot" movie that serves as a branch between Iron Man 2 and Thor and stars the incredibly cool Agent Phil Coulson (played by the equally cool Clark Gregg). I'm not going to give away the details, but I will say I don't think you'll be disappointed. I mentioned this on the podcast this weekend, but I have a theory about Coulson. I think he's actually Captain Marvel in disguise. The rumor is that the Avengers movie is going to involve Skrulls, and I think it would be a good way to make the character a major player, while also setting off the next movement in the Marvel movies, which sounds like it's supposed to be moving towards the cosmic side...easy peasy! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rock back and forth for a few hours while I wait for my video game.

"A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Thor's Hammer" will be available Oct. 25th on the Captain America DVD and Blu-Ray release.
