A few months ago, Marvel announced that they'd appointed Jeph Loeb as Executive Vice President, Head of Television, a newly created division of Marvel Entertainment to translate Marvel’s popular characters and stories to the television medium, in both live-action and animation formats. In addition to these responsibilities, he will oversee the development and distribution of live-action, animated and direct-to-DVD series. In the following video interview, Joe Quesada talks more about these plans and assure fans that the company are definitely considering a live action series but still remained elusive as to what and who exactly will feature in such a project.



"We have a strategy at Marvel — nothing we're really ready to talk about," Quesada told MTV News. "What I can talk about is that it's a brave new world for Marvel. Now that we've been purchased by Disney, we're part of the Disney family. Our strength, our leverage is that much more."

"Disney's an international, worldwide company, and Marvel's well on its way to becoming that as well. Marvel does things that Disney's has trouble doing — which is attracting a male audience. That's really our bailiwick, and not so much for Disney. Where they're very strong in girls, we're very strong in boys. It’s a perfect marriage."

"For Marvel, the benefits are amazing as well. We didn't have a television network, and now we do. We're part of ABC, ABC Family, and ABC Studios, and Disney XD. We're part of a bigger family. This opens us up to so many, many incredible ideas and creators that want to work with us, not just in comics or animation or film, but now also in television."

"We're talking to some people, we have some great ideas, and we want to make sure that whatever we come out with first, whatever we decide to come out with first, is explosive and just has everyone smiling from ear to ear and saying that is quintessentially Marvel."

Quesada however did insist that a live-action television project is "absolutely on the table."

"Anything and everything is on the table. We're thinking about every possibility for Marvel. The one thing about Marvel is that, it while may seem like we do a lot of things by the seat of our pants, we're a very methodical company — we think about things very thoroughly and no decision is made in a vacuum."

"So all of the this stuff will be handled very carefully, and then we'll make it seem like it comes out of the seat of our pants!"
