The Avengers Character Movie Poster: Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson

The Avengers Character One Sheet Movie Posters - Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury & Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson

If this wasn’t tweeted directly from actor Clark Gregg’s Twitter account I’d think it was a fan made movie poster. But here it is, the first The Avengers one sheet featuring Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson. Honestly, I may have been the only person clamoring for Gregg’s inclusion in the film’s marketing campaign, but why wouldn’t they want to feature his character front and center. He may not have the same name recognition as the film’s true stars, but Agent Coulson is pretty intricate to Marvel’s movie universe. He’s the only character to appear in all of The Avengers tie-in films (except The Incredible Hulk, which they seem to be ignoring) and even reprises the role in Marvel’s newest animated television show Ultimate Spider-Man. Needless to say, when it comes to Marvel movie universe, Agent Coulson is pretty recognizable.
