    It shouldn't be too much of a surprise to hear that SHIELD will have a presence in Kenneth Branagh's Thor movie.  Variety announced that Clark Gregg will reprise his role as Agent Coulson (last seen in Iron Man).  Even though Coulson isn't an actual comic book character, his appearance in Thor will further solidify the cohesiveness of the movie Marvel Universe.  We have already seen crossovers in the  Iron Man and Incredible Hulk movies.  All of this will be leading to the Avengers movie in 2012.  Agent Coulson will also be appearing in Iron Man 2.
     
    Digital Spy also pointed out some recent comments that Branagh made in regards to Thor.

    "We have many miles to go and promises to keep, but so far, so good. Everybody's doing very good work and just a lot of it is so promising. Fingers crossed for everybody and everything. [Hemsworth] is a great guy." 

    Reports are mixed regarding the amount of screen time Midgard will receive.  I was under the impression that the majority of the movie would take place in Asgard and would end with Thor meeting Nick Fury and the others on earth.  Yet more-and-more it's looking like perhaps we'll be seeing more action on Midgard.  Natalie Portman is playing Jane Foster and Kat Dennings is playing a friend of Foster's named Darcy, which leads me to believe earth (aka Midgard) will have major screen time. What do you think?

    @Chane: I just wish DC would start doing this as well (see Green Lantern news).

    @G-Man: Heh, I think I posted the opposite POV on the GL news.... tho that was more because it was Superman than the concept of cross pollination in DC movies.

    This is great! Continuity in between even more movies! YAY! 
     
    This is probably the reason Hawkeye was going to appear in Thor... They wanted a SHIELD agent to talk to Thor... so maybe this is the replacement, use the same guy from Iron Man!!! 
     
    Although having Hawkeye cameo would be awesome!!!

    That's really awesome to hear. I think merging the universe into one dialogue is absolutely essential and shows that Marvel is taking the handling of their characters seriously. DC could learn a valuable lesson here.

    I thought Sam Jackson was going to be the uniting factor in these movies? Isn't he signed on for 11 films as Nick Fury? Or are we just getting him like we did in Iron Man, 1 brief scene while Coulson does the real work?

    Most likely.... What I'm guessing is that Jackson's spotlight is being saved for the Avengers movie

    Yay, this sounds awesome.  (:
    I hope characters like Kat Dennings and Natalie Portman will crossover into the Avenger's movies. I'm sure they will.

    I like that their doing it with Shield, becuase thats how it really is in the Marvel U. Sheild is in everybody's Kool-aid. But i dont wana see random other heroes unless its gonna make PERFECT sense. Thats why i was gonna be pissed about hawkeye being in THor. They arent even close. And god is a little out of the archers rang of combat.

    Great.  Non-comic book fans would say "So what?" but this is great like everyone is pointing out due to the fact it represents the fact they are at least making an effort to provide a link between the Marvel characters that may end up in The Avengers.  Awesome.  
     
    You're so right, G-Man, only if DC could do the same.  Can't have it all I guess.

    DC could've started it.  As I mentioned in the latest Green Lantern story, Superman was all set to do a cameo.  There hasn't been a reason why he's not now.  We can only assume it's that legal crap that's been going on.

    i keep hearing alot of talks about a SHIELD movie as well before Avengers, so this little
    add on would be all the sweeter if that was the eventuality.

    More likely it's that the Superman reboot that was in the works fell apart.

    I had hoped Marvel would have done this back in the Daredevil movie... Just use a Daily Bugle van!!! But no, they had to put a New York Post van in it... Damn copyrights. This is awesome news though! Finally we see more and more continuity in a comic book movie and it's not just a quick mention of Metropolis... Oooh... sorry, WB and DC!
