THE AVENGERS - New Images of Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill

Marvel has released two new images featuring Cobie Smulders as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill in The Avengers. This is the best look we've had at her character so far, and she looks great. I'm looking forward to seeing her character in action. In a previous interview she described the character saying that "she has superpowers and is hyperintelligent; a very nice, fine woman who has all the answers."
