ABC releases first trailer for Marvel’s ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D’

After ABC’s announcement that they’d picked up Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D – Marvel’s Avengers spin-off – for its first (but hopefully not last) season last week, the internet was drip-fed tantalisingly brief teasers like character IDs and a six-second trailer on Vine.

Well, now they’re playing a little less hard-to-get with a slightly more satisfying promo trailer:

Are you excited? I’m excited, and not just because Joss Whedon’s involved; even from this sliver of footage you can tell there’s meat on the bones. Check out io9’s in-depth look at the clues given in the trailer (Flying cars!) and let us know if you think they missed anything.

[Oh, and if enough folks tweet the hashtag #CoulsonLives we all get to look at an extended trailer. Who says social media doesn’t bring people together?]
