Smulders told I Am Rogue, “I’ve seen parts of it, but yeah I don’t know much. This is Marvel! They don’t let you know anything. It’s very watermarked scripts, heavily watermarked,” she explained. “Yeah, they don’t let you know like the day of, but they are very secretive and I think they are still figuring stuff out. I don’t know the exact dates [filming begins]. I know it's sometime in March or June.”
Cobie also spoke about the possibility of playing Maria Hill in the TV series S.H.I.E.L.D. and if she plans to continue portraying the character in the future, “The commitments to [How I Met Your Mother] don’t affect it. And I can’t really say, but there are definite talks about it,” she said, adding “Oh yeah! I’m very excited. I will do Maria Hill until they fire me and hire someone else to do it.”
