Several other members of the “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” cast and crew also paid tribute to Paxton, including Dalton, Clark Gregg, Ming-Na Wen, Elizabeth Henstridge, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Bear McCreary.
Paxton was an award-winning actor who appeared in such films as “The Terminator,” “Weird Science,” “Titanic,” “Apollo 13,” “Twister,” “Predator 2,” “True Lies,” and “Aliens.”
He was nominated for an Emmy Award for his performance in the miniseries “Hatfields and McCoys” and starred in HBO’s “Big Love.” At the time of his death, Paxton had recently wrapped up filming for the CBS series “Training Day.”
“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” revolves around the character of Phil Coulson, with Clark Gregg reprising his role from the film series, and his team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who must deal with various unusual cases and enemies, including Hydra and the Inhumans.
Joss Whedon began developing a S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot following the success of his film “Marvel’s The Avengers,” and Gregg was confirmed to reprise his role in October 2012.
The visual effects for the series are created by FuseFX and have been nominated for multiple awards. Several episodes directly crossover with films or other television series set in the MCU, while other characters from MCU films and Marvel One-Shots also appear throughout the series.
