Clark Gregg, who plays Phil Coulson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has a funny response to a similarly named character in Warner Bros./DC Films’ The Batman. Writer and director Matt Reeves’ reboot was released in theaters earlier this month and appears to be the beginning of a Batverse, with spinoffs coming to HBO Max. Inspired by Frank Miller’s seminal comic Batman: Year One, the film explores Bruce Wayne’s (Robert Pattinson) second year as Batman. The Batman pits its titular character against several villains from DC’s rogues’ galley, including John Turturro's Carmine Falcone, Colin Farrell’s Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot, and Paul Dano’s Edward Nashton/The Riddler.
The Riddler serves as The Batman’s main villain, a Zodiac-esque serial killer leaving clues for the “World’s Greatest Detective” as he targets Gotham City’s corrupt elites. One of these so-called elites is Peter Sarsgaard’s Gil Colson, the district attorney who works for mob boss Carmine Falcone. People were quick to notice that Gil Colson sounds an awful lot like Phil Coulson, and the actor who plays the latter is one of them.

Clark Gregg, who tends to stay up to date with things Marvel and DC-related, recently took to Twitter after seeing The Batman. His post asked the film’s writers a simple question about Sarsgaard’s character: "Gil Colson?" Fans commented on the post with similar reactions, saying things like "I hear Colson is coming back in The Batman 2: 2Phil2Coulson.” Check it out below:
