Is this happening after the Avengers in the timeline? Is Coulson officially back?

Yep. Coulson's officially back. The currently expected thing is that while Loki did run him through, they were able to save his life. Nick Fury lied to the Avengers to motivate them to action.

Is that supposed to be Luke Cage?

I had been wondering if it was going to be that Coulson was a clone or something, or maybe had super powers himself. I had actually been half worried that it was going to turn into an "I wonder how Coulson dies in this episode" kind of thing.

Is that supposed to be Luke Cage?

Possible. But, in the "bumper" - the segment at the start where they flip through a bunch of comics panels - is an image that hasn't been there before, of a hero called "Rage" from the New Warriors. The two together make a case for it not being Luke Cage.

Well, it IS a TV version of Marvel Comics, where death is rather famously a revolving door.

Consider the revival of Agent Coulson (with his offscreen revival a variant on the "never found the body" type of recovery) the first "Comic Book Death" in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Personally, I'm looking forward to it and wondering if they'll use this to have encounters/adventures with a lot of second and third-string heroes and villains who might not warrant their own movies.

Here's a longer trailer:

I thought they did a pretty good job of leaving Coulson's fate ambiguous in the movie. Certainly the Avengers were told that he had died, but having that be a lie didn't seem to be a stretch.

Actually, I'm not sure if his death was explicitly stated anywhere. The medics had "called it", but does that necessarily mean a death?

Thx!

The lie was strongly hinted at when Fury's second-in-command (I forget her name) pointed out to him that he'd lied about how he got the baseball card. He replied that he'd done so to motivate the Avengers. The stronger hint there is that Coulson isn't dead.
