Fans have been speculating about how exactly Clark Gregg’s Agent Phil Coulson would return in ABC’s pilot “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” considering what happened in Marvel’s The Avengers. Now, according to /Film, we may have the answer. Are you willing to find out before the show airs? Then read on…

Still here? This is what will be revealed, says the site:

“In the pilot, it’s revealed Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), the ultimate super spy, faked Agent Coulson’s death on purpose to motivate The Avengers. Some S.H.I.E.L.D. members were in on it (including, possibly, Maria Hill played by Cobie Smulders) but The Avengers were not. Their security clearance wasn’t high enough. Coulson was forced to hold his breath as part of the ruse and that’s a point of contention among his colleagues After the fact, Fury moved him to a remote location until things died down, and then he was reinserted into duty at the time of the show.”

What do you think? Do you like how they may be bringing him back? Remember, this is not confirmed at this point.
