The Master Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 J. August Richards could be playing Rage. Link to post Share on other sites
Venneh Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 The freeze frame further down the page does look like J. August. Link to post Share on other sites

Venneh Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 It's definitely J. August. Also kind of explains the Coulson thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Rob the kid Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 He's not Rage. Most likely he's going to be an original character. Personally I wanted him to be Luke Cage. Link to post Share on other sites
JackFetch Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yesterday's debut of the first full trailer for "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." immediately led to fan speculation that the mysterious hooded and super-powered character played by J. August Richards might be Marvel's Luke Cage. In a new interview with Executive Producer Jeffrey Bell, however, IGN has learned that the character in question is someone else altogether, although his identity remains a secret."It’s not the [character] people are talking about," Bell said when asked about the potential of Richards playing Cage. "...Honestly, we were looking for this part, and we just said, 'Look, all our parts are open to all diversity.' So the fact that we have a black dude who is awesome and it's J was just because he was the best actor. It wasn’t like, 'You know who…!'” http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/176949-marvels-agents-of-shield-shuts-down-luke-cage-speculation Link to post Share on other sites
Venneh Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Bear McCreary is composing for the show. YES. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 The pilot screened at Comic Con today. EW hasn't released an official review yet, but the thoughts on their site are guardedly optimistic and generally positive. Link to post Share on other sites
Koete Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Also, it was announced that Maria Hill is in the pilot and will probably appear a couple times during the season. Link to post Share on other sites
Dread Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 No surprise there. She's likely the only actor in Avengers they could afford. Link to post Share on other sites
JasonC Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 They could afford Coulson as well. Link to post Share on other sites
dc20willsave Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 It helps that both are tv actors normally as opposed to most of the rest of the cast. Link to post Share on other sites
Dread Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 They could afford Coulson as well. Sorry, the only OTHER cast member. They would be the only two minutely memorable speaking roles in that movie who would actually say yes, let alone be able to afford. Link to post Share on other sites

Stavros Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Still not enough visual action-candy for people to viscerally connect this with Iron Man or the Avengers. Link to post Share on other sites
Dread Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 That looks mundane to me. Snooze. Link to post Share on other sites
JasonC Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Still not enough visual action-candy for people to viscerally connect this with Iron Man or the Avengers. Does it have to? Isn't being called MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.LD. enough? Link to post Share on other sites
KnightWing Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 They also probably shouldn't oversell it. Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't being called MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.LD. enough? Intellectually sure. But I'm talking about gut reaction. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 So... this was okay. As a pilot, it felt kinda piloty. Ming-Na had fuck all to do, but otherwise the cast got decently introduced, we have a couple of mysteries to take us through the season, and it's always awesome to see Coulson. Not spectacular but solid enough. Link to post Share on other sites
NightAngle04 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I agree it was solid. There were some problems with it and the end didn't work for me, but its a pilot so you cant judge it too heavily. Link to post Share on other sites
Stavros Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 It's got Ron Glass in it, so that's a win. I wonder if they're going to spend the next 14 episodes until cancellation hinting that he's evil. Ok, I've watched it now. It was ok. I'm hoping it's like Dollhouse and they have some good storylines in mind because just mentioning Extremis and Chitauri every 5 minutes isn't enough to keep me engaged, and they clearly don't have the budget to match the look of the movies. And that's not just in special effects, I thought the quality of lighting and shots at point was sub-par. I'll give it time, and probably watch it all but it's not going to be must-see TV. If it lapses far enough I might drop it and just blow through it as a season next year. Link to post Share on other sites
Venneh Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 It was fun, it shows the hands of way too many cooks stirring the pot, though. Hopefully they let the showrunners do their job. I'm willing to bet it did pretty damn well on the numbers, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'm willing to bet it did pretty damn well on the numbers, though. The 18-49 demo numbers, undoubtedly. However, this thing's up against NCIS, a show which no one watches and yet is somehow the most watched show in all of television. SHIELD is the dictionary definition of counter-programming, but if ABC thinks they have an NCIS-killer here they're mistaken. Link to post Share on other sites
KnightWing Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 SHIELD just has to last for a few seasons and all the old people that watch NCIS will die out eventually. I liked it as a pilot. Fun, if exposition-heavy for obvious reasons. Link to post Share on other sites
