ABC Entertainment Chief Offers Update On More MARVEL And STAR WARS Adaptations
Talking at the Television Critics Association press tour today, ABC Entertainment Group president Paul Lee has shared his thoughts on developing their relationship with Marvel after Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. debuts and says that there have been conversations with Lucasfilm about Star Wars.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC head honcho Paul Lee understandably revealed that the network is keen on exploiting their partnerships with Marvel and Lucasfilm. "We are loving this relationship [with Marvel]," he said of this Fall's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. debut. "The relationship with Marvel and with other Disney [intellectual property] across the company is something we are ambitious to build. We have lots of little schemes in mind." He wouldn't reveal any more than that, but it's interesting to wonder what other properties - both those we've heard about and those we haven't - could be brought to the small screen. As for whether Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm means that we're about to finally see that Star Wars TV series, he added: "We have started conversations with them. I'd love to go there. I'm a particular fan of Lucasfilm. It's an amazing world." What projects would guys most like to see brought to the network?
