Revealed just yesterday, Adrian Pasdar has been cast as Colonel Glenn Talbot on Agents of SHIELD! That’s pretty exciting news, seeing as how Talbot is a major player in Hulk comics. And it’s always a good sign when SHIELD adds some real comic characters.

Save the Hulk, save the world

You can check out an interview with Pasdar here.

The best news is that Talbot will probably open the door to other Hulk characters. We probably won’t see General Ross or the Hulk himself, but what about Doc Samson? Or, dare I say it…the Leader!? A few months ago, I wrote a List of Six about what I’d like to see on Agents of SHIELD, and the Leader was the #1 choice. I suggested he could be the season’s Big Bad, especially if they use actor Timothy Blake, who played Samuel Sterns in The Incredible Hulk movie.

I made that suggestion before SHIELD introduced a Big Bad called ‘The Clairvoyant’. Mind powers…the Leader…it all adds up!
