Actor Jason O’Mara, who lent his lungs to Batman in several DC animated movies including “Batman and Robin”, “Batman : Bad Blood” and “Son of Batman”, steps into Coulson’s shoes on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D”.
Coulson shocked fans in the Season 3 finale of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” when he revealed the organization had a new director – and now we can tell you just who is taking over his former position.
O’Mara (“Complications,” “The Good Wife”) has joined the series stepping into the role as S.H.I.E.L.D’s new Director, playing a character whose Marvel roots go back to the 1940s.
“Bringing Jason into the mix as the New Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. forces everyone, particularly Coulson, to reevaluate their role in the Agency,” said Executive Producer and Marvel’s Head of Television, Jeph Loeb. “Jason has both the physical presence and acting dynamics that will connect with and challenge even the most loyal agent.”
