Phil Coulson was created for ''[[Iron Man (2008 film)|Iron Man]]'';<ref name="April2006Variety" /><ref name="FergusOstbyIM" /> he was the first S.H.I.E.L.D. agent introduced in the MCU, and was portrayed by Gregg, who went on to play the character in several other MCU films and [[Marvel One-Shots]].<ref name="OneShots" /> At the 2012 [[New York Comic Con]], Gregg was announced to be starring as Coulson in ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'', despite the character dying in ''The Avengers''."<ref name="NYCC2012" /> In April 2013, Gregg said that he had found creator [[Joss Whedon]]'s explanation for Coulson's resurrection "fascinating" and "true to the world of the comics and mythology in general".<ref name="GreggScreenRantApr2013" /> On whether the resurrected Coulson would be the same as before he died, Gregg said "I think if he hadn’t gone through some kind of change, it wouldn’t be any good."<ref name="GreggScreenRantApr2013" /> After Coulson was promoted to Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Gregg said "He kind of got his dream job that I don’t even think he would have ever dreamed he would be given ... it’s going to require him to move a little bit in the direction of a more pragmatic figure like Nick Fury".<ref name="GreggRebuilding" /> Discussing Coulson's character progression through three seasons, executive producer [[Jeffrey Bell]] said, "First season Coulson would have beat Ward up and then thrown him over his shoulder and brought him back to Earth and locked him away. Season two Coulson would have defeated him and left him there on the other planet to fend for himself," while season three Coulson paused while a portal to Earth was closing to take the time to kill Ward.<ref name="BellTHRDec2015" /> Speaking to the final episode of season five, which sees Coulson retires to live out his last days on Tahiti, Gregg said, "My understanding is that Phil Coulson is no longer alive. He's been brought back, he's been really clear that he didn't want supernatural measures used again. I always felt like he thought almost like he wasn't supposed to be here... I don't think there is a real buy back for the fact that this deal he made with the Ghost Rider is killing his body." Gregg also noted he was talking with the series showrunners about appearing in some form in the sixth season, as there had been some interest in including him.<ref name="GreggTHRMay2018" />
