Marvel Actor Clark Gregg joins as FBI Director Ray Madison
Gregg has previously appeared in famous shows like The West Wing and The Shield. But he's best known for playing Phil Coulson in Marvel movies, starting with Iron Man in 2008.
Criminal Minds first aired on CBS in 2005, following FBI agents who solve crimes. After ending in 2020, the show came back as Criminal Minds: Evolution. The main cast members like Paget Brewster and Joe Mantegna returned for this revival.
In Season 1 of Evolution, the BAU hunted down a serial killer named Elias Voit, played by Zach Gilford. Now, in Season 2, they're investigating a mystery called Gold Star, which involves high-ranking officials. The team faces unexpected challenges when Voit strikes a deal to be transferred to federal custody, bringing him closer to the BAU.
Despite Phil Coulson's fate in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Gregg has played different versions of him in other Marvel shows. With Marvel exploring different timelines, Gregg hinted he might return as Coulson in the future.
He told CBR, "Look, you are playing in a multiverse scenario in various timelines without you being like, 'I don't know, there are many multiverses here.' People are very upset about whether things are canon [or not], and I love that Kevin [Feige] is [like] The Oz."
