Although the peak of his supporting-player participation came to a head in ‘The Avengers,’ Clark Gregghas always provided the heart and soul of many movies that otherwise lacked them. And in ‘Much Ado About Nothing,’ he’s the voice of outrage, the protector of a young woman’s virtue, even as a swirling ensemble of characters conspires to impugn it. Oddly, the two films share more in common than their writer-director, Joss Whedon – namely, that both utilize Gregg’s performance as a catalyst for the story to find its footing and pay off with the emotional strength that’s suggested in the text.

"[Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.] basically opens with the idea that since The Avengers things have changed. Now everybody knows that there are gods and monsters, and what is the world like; [Clark Gregg] is the star of the show. It was part of the genesis of it: you know what makes this tick is this guy. And then there was all the “but didn’t you make him stop ticking?” But all will be revealed…" — Joss Whedon talking Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Clark Gregg!

EXCLUSIVE: Marvel Studios is courting Aaron Taylor-Johnson for the role of Quicksilver in The Avengers 2, I’m told. Taylor-Johnson, who reprises the title role in Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall, has scheduling issues and I’m not sure this will work out, but Marvel wants him.

"Right now, I’m still pretty tied up with Castle; I have a couple of years of that to go. We’re having a great time, we’re telling some great stories and we’re enjoying it. Joss and James have done so much for me, I’m not the guy that goes knocking at their door and goes, ‘Do some more for me!’ You know what I mean? They’re doing great stuff right now and I’m having a great time right now, so I think that once I wrap up Castle, and we get a little more free time one our hands… [Nods]" — Nathan Fillion on why he hasn’t starred in a Marvel Movie, regardless of his friendship with Joss Whedon and James Gunn.
