"Pilot" is the pilot and first episode of the first season of the American television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., based on the Marvel Comics organization S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division), revolving around the character of Phil Coulson and his team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as they investigate a super-powered man and a hacktivist group. It is the first television episode to be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. The episode was written by series creators Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, and Maurissa Tancharoen, and was directed by Joss Whedon.
The episode was ordered in 2012, after Joss Whedon wrote and directed Marvel's The Avengers, and was filmed in early 2013 in Los Angeles, California, with some additional filming in Paris, France. Clark Gregg reprises his role as Coulson from the film series, and is joined by principal cast members Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, and Elizabeth Henstridge. Cobie Smulders guest stars, reprising her role of Maria Hill from The Avengers, with previous Whedon collaborators J. August Richards and Ron Glass also guest starring. Emphasis was put on consistency and continuity with the MCU films, and some elements are reused from the films throughout the episode, most notably extremis. The visual effects for the episode were nominated at the Visual Effects Society Awards.
