"There are gods and aliens," Jed Whedon said. "So we have a lot to play with. There's a spy aspect of the show and SHIELD is some of the most sci-fi in the Marvel universe because it's about gadgets. So we have a lot of different things to play with. It will be a mixture of both. We will be focusing on having every story having a beginning, middle and end." Jed went on to say "some of it will be mythology and some of it will standalone. And our character runs will continue through all of that." Maurissa Tancharoen added that "Marvel is a very vast and diverse universe." Well she is very correct about that! What villains do you want to see appear on "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Sound off below!

"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." will premiere on ABC tonight, Tuesday, September 24, at 8 p.m.

Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson’s team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker); brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet). From Executive Producers Joss Whedon (“Marvel’s The Avengers,” ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer”); Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen, “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” pilot co-writers (“Dollhouse,” “Dr.Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”); Jeffrey Bell (“Angel,” “Alias”); and Jeph Loeb (“Smallville”) comes Marvel’s first TV series. “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television.

@jakeroo I think the problem with power pack is that Fox probably owns the rights to Franklin Richards.

Damn YOu FOX!!!

I'm gonna watch this with an open mind.

But I'll be more excited for the Agent Carter show. That seems way better.
Hopefully they'll connect the two.

Runaways is my favourite comic ever. I NEED to see a movie made soon. :(

If they don't start introducing characters from the comics soon then I can't see this show lasting that long.

The general public will like it? But it's the comic fans that will watch it religiously. So they beat start pleasing us.

dunejedi-but sometimes, having that many characters can kill a show,i think if they make some references,maybe not every episode but every other,then we will be fine, just focus on the characters and stories and if they and it is good ,thats good for us,we watch other shows because of the good stories and good characters so lets focus on that

SHIELD should be doing the Intel on enemy orgs like Hydra, AIM, etc. Agents stopping the bad guys agents, and sometimes not, and when they find a super bad guy, calling in the big guns or big tech to bring them down.

I expect to see a lot of the Marvel Universe in this show.

I'll record it but my expectations are low. This first and foremost a ABC show.... Which are all horrible.
