Whedon gets S.H.I.E.L.D show on ABC ironclad Send a noteboard - 29/08/2012 08:47:07 AM
It was revealed earlier this month that Joss Whedon had signed an exclusive deal with Marvel Studios to, among other things, help develop a new live action series for Marvel Television at ABC. Today, Deadline has revealed that, now greenlit by ABC, the series will be titled "S.H.I.E.L.D." and will focus on the top secret defense organization featured throughout the Marvel cinematic universe.

Whedon will write the pilot alongside his brother, Jed Whedon, and Maurissa Tancharoen (who previously worked with Whedon on "Dollhouse" and "Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" ). All three will also join Jeffrey Bell and Jeph Loeb as executive producers. The site notes that Whedon may also direct the pilot, but that nothing is confirmed at this time.

It remains to be seen which, if any, actors and/or characters from the Marvel Studios films are planned to appear on the show, though it's very likely that "S.H.I.E.L.D" will have direct ties to future Marvel Studios cinematic entries, including the Whedon scripted and directed Marvel's The Avengers 2, set for release on May 1, 2015.

Exciting news! It certainly will concentrate more on the agents and only occasionally feaure super heroes and villains, but that's still awesome. Especially if it all ties in perfectly to form a gigantic Marvel universe of coming movies and weekly adventures. Fun!

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

Maria Hill could just direct things. *NM* - 29/08/2012 11:12:09 PM 510 Views
Only if they recast her. I don't like Smulders. *NM* - 29/08/2012 11:39:21 PM 623 Views

I keep hearing that, but I don't know who the Vision is. - 31/08/2012 01:08:17 AM 897 Views
He is Scarlet Witch's (former?) robot husband IIRC *NM* - 31/08/2012 01:10:28 AM 448 Views
He's an android, and his profile is similar to Coulson's. *NM* - 31/08/2012 01:29:43 AM 578 Views
I am already looking forwards to the outcry when it is cancelled *NM* - 29/08/2012 05:17:19 PM 502 Views
Yeah it's funny how a box office hit suddenly opens doors, eh? - 30/08/2012 08:31:38 AM 828 Views
The solution is an easy one. - 05/09/2012 08:51:15 PM 911 Views
I'm trying to think- have there been any modern live-action "superhero" TV shows? And not Buffy. - 30/08/2012 03:08:24 AM 964 Views
