Bill “Hudson” Paxton is joining the cast of ABC’s “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” for an upcoming four episode stint as Agent John Garrett.

Described by showrunner Jed Whedon as:

“a rough-and-tumble former cohort of Agent Coulson, with a little bit of attitude and cigar-smoking swagger… [W]hen Garrett got his promotion to Level 7, he refused to sit behind a desk and doesn’t like the formalities of S.H.I.E.L.D. He’s going to help Coulson solve some mysteries and is not afraid to rig an explosive or two.”

Sounds like fun, any guesses if he’ll turn up in the Marvel cinematic universe in the future?
