Recently, Marvel has decided to delve into short film territory. Both so far follow the misadventures of SHIELD agent Coulson, once again played by Clark Gregg, who is reprising his roles seen in ‘Iron Man’, ‘Iron Man 2′, and ‘Thor 2′, as well as next years ‘The Avengers’. So far the shorts have been short, and funny little interludes that help show what happens between the breaks in the different movies. The newest short, ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer’, takes place between Agent Coulson leaving Tony Stark in ‘Iron Man 2′ and arriving in New Mexico and finding Thor’s hammer in ‘Thor’. It really is a brilliant piece of marketing. Hit the jump to check out the newest short.

I really like what Marvel is doing with these short films. They’re amusing and help expand on the Marvel’s universe on film. I can’t wait to see what happens next. This could be a great way to introduce some of their characters on audiences before doing full movies with them. What do you guys think, do you like that Marvel is doing small short films? And is there any certain characters you’d like to see in one? Let me know in the comments below, I’d love to hear from you!
