"The Avengers star Clark Gregg has discussed his character&amp;#039;s crucial involvement in the superhero epic. Speaking at the movie&amp;#039;s UK press conference, Gregg admitted that he had mixed emotions about the fate of his SHIELD operative Phil Coulson.  &amp;gt; Marvel Comics at the movies: &amp;#039;X-Men&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Spider-Man&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Thor&amp;#039; and more &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Avengers&amp;#039;: Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans want Marvel sequel cameos &amp;gt; &amp;#039;The Avengers&amp;#039; exclusive: Thor, Captain America battle aliens Gregg said that he found out about Coulson&amp;#039;s fate before taking part in the Thor panel at Comic-Con. The actor recalled: &amp;quot;Joss Whedon comes over and said, &amp;#039;Coulson&amp;#039;s going to have a big part in The Avengers, can I introduce you as part of the cast?&amp;#039; It was officially the shortest decision-making period I&amp;#039;ve ever needed! &amp;quot;Then there was an ominous call from Marvel about how important Coulson&amp;#039;s role would be in this film. I loved playing this guy a lot, and when I got Joss&amp;#039;s script it was one of the best days I&amp;#039;ve had as an actor. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s been a chain letter - different directors get this character and reveal another facet [to him], always entertaining. &amp;quot;What Joss did, I thought, was magnificent. Because it&amp;#039;s in the Marvel universe, I think of it as an extension rather than a definite resolution.&amp;quot; The Avengers is released in UK cinemas on April 26 (under the title Marvel Avengers Assemble) and on May 4 in the US.
