If a new feature from The Hollywood Reporter is to be believed, things are not looking so good for Marvel's
Agent Carter and the planned
Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff,
Marvel's Most Wanted.
Amidst talk of a near lock for actress Hayley Atwell's new procedural program
Conviction, the trade reports that
"the Hayley Atwell drama is considered likely to go to series as the network looks to move away from its well-known soapy fare. (Atwell reportedly would juggle Conviction with Agent Carter, should the Marvel drama return — though that's considered highly unlikely.)"
Meanwhile,
Marvel's Most Wanted was set to star Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood as their agents Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter. The characters recently left
Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the backdoor pilot episode "Parting Shot". According to THR,
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff Marvel's Most Wanted has been cooling and some say it's not considered the lock it once was". Of course, this doesn't mean the series won't happen, but it's definitely not a good sign for the show.
