Patton Oswalt, the voice of Remy in Ratatouille, will guest-star on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. according to a post on Marvel.com. He will portray Agent Eric Koenig. The character first appeared in Sgt. Fury and His Hollowing Commandos #27 as one of Fury’s soldiers. In an interview with Marvel.com, the actor shared his thoughts on the show:
[They’re] a scrappy bunch of agents who are sort of working on the lower tier levels of the Marvel Universe and trying to stop threats before they even get to the Avengers-level threats. It’s almost like when you watch ‘The Wire,’ and the guys like Pryzbylewski are just chasing the paper trail but that’s kind of the whole case. That’s where they can bring these guys down, is they’re doing the kind of brutal grunt work. There are these people doing the day to day that keeps the world from spinning into chaos. [They say,] ‘no, we don’t have the shiny Tony Stark, Hawkeye, Black Widow stuff, but we are in it up to our necks and we’re doing it. I really like that. There’s a great sense of camaraderie.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs Tuesdays on ABC. New episodes will begin April 1 and will continue with new episodes until the season finale May 12.
