Variety has confirmed that ABC have ordered a pilot for Marvel's Most Wanted, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff which is still set to revolve around Adrianne Palicki's Mockingbird and her ex-husband, Lance Hunter (Nick Blood). They're set to be the main stars of the new series, and it was previously reported that: "Insiders say the series is not a spinoff, per se, but rather an entirely new project solely focused on the two characters to continue their story. Though plot details are scarce at this point, 'Marvel’s Most Wanted' will follow the pair and their adventures together." It's definitely an interesting premise, but will it work? That obviously remains to be seen, but the show has some impressive talents behind the scenes, including Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. producers Jeffrey Bell and Paul Zbyszewski who co-created the project and are co-writing the pilot. The network has never before acknowledged its existence, but ABC President Paul Lee today promised that the script is "really good" when confirming that it's definitely moving forward. Thoughts?

Do it like a watered down Jessica Jones for prime time. That would be most interesting. AOS just never really took off the way it should have. It was essentially Josh Whedon's Scooby Gang in the MCU. Watch the first Avengers, AOS should have been like the flight deck scenes.

With all the Marvel and DC TV shows out there, this one feels a bid redundant, same can be said for the recently announced Powerless: http://geektyrant.com/news/nbc-officially-orders-office-style-dc-spin-off-powerless.

Also lets factor in all the other fantastic shows out there.

Making a spinoff of something barely watchable removing from it what makes it watchable ????

The only reason I'll probably watch this is because of Adrianne with her Sexy ass

My only concern is that I'm not sure they are interesting enough for a spinoff. The writing is going to need to be good. However, I did feel the same about agent carter and within 10 minutes I realized I was wrong.

Hopefully it's great.

So after Civil War there is going to be a show called Most Wanted? Cool.

I'll give it a chance, maybe it can be fun. I didn't think I would enjoy Agent Carter that much but ended up loving it

Better idea than a shitty Damage Control series.

Lmao....

Definitely not watching this, I lost track of AOS too....

The last thing I need is another show that takes place within the MCU to try and keep up with, I might have tuned in if they made a show that was separate from the MCU

Maybe it works with Hawkeye/Renner in the show...





...but a standalone or with Hunter??? Where is the hook??
Castiglione
Castiglione - 1/9/2016, 2:52 PM
AOS, Agent Carter, Daredevil, JJ (I actually didn't like JJ though), etc

and now this too

Unless AOS is ending, this show is overkill

I don't think over saturation is a real problem in terms of TV. By that logic, iZombie, Lucifer, The Walking Dead, and Preacher would be seen as part of the problem, but they're not. They're based on Comic Books, yes, but they're all drastically different.

You have Supergirl and Flash, soon to be joined by Legends as *true* TV Superhero shows, Arrow as a... Crime drama? eh? Agent Carter is a time piece female action drama, this show is sounding like it's going to be a Spy series, Agents is... Agents, and Daredevil & Jessica Jones are dark and mature crime/drama shows on Netflix. It all feels different

And all marvel products at abc were dead because of the feud between Feige and Perlmutter

I'm with @Th0rOdinson. The Netflix shows and Agent Carter is all I need.

"Better idea than a shitty Damage Control series."

And you know it will be shitty how? Damage Control was written by Dwayne McDuffie, who's awesome (R.I.P), so how it is that you assume that none of that awesomeness can't be transferred to television is a bit beyond me.

Care to clarify?

You know, instead of suffocating us with Shield-shows, you could use ABC to... I dunno, SHOW US SOME ACTUAL SUPERHEROES!!???

I know, crazy idea. However, it just might work.
