Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Nick Fury—you know these guys pretty well by now, right? Well, there's another "Avengers" character you need to keep an eye on—no, not Agent Coulson, although he is pretty great. I'm talking about Maria Hill, agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and yet another one of the many heroes tangoing with Loki in Joss Whedon's summer movie extravaganza.
Marvel has just posted two new pics of actress Cobie Smulders in character as Hill, which is nice for a few reasons. For starters, Hill has been rather absent in all "Avengers" promotional material so far, popping up here and there in wordless trailer appearances. Any and all Hill is a welcome sight, then, seeing as we've barely seen her at all up to this point.
More than just the excitement of catching a rare glimpse at Hill, though, is the fact that she's a flat-out awesome character, full stop. Her interactions with Tony Stark could be particularly memorable, though smart money says most of her scenes will be with her fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. agents: Fury, Widow, Hawkeye, Coulson. Here's hoping she has more to do than just hang on the Helicarrier, but even if she doesn't, we'll be happy enough to see her in the movie at all.
Plus, there's always a sequel to consider, not to mention potential S.H.I.E.L.D. movie spinoffs; that could be the place for Maria to shine.
Tell us what you think of the new "Avengers" photos in the comments or on Twitter!
