After the announcement of the Disney+ streaming service and the recent disbanding of Marvel Television, it looked like Kevin Feige and co. were planning to develop all future small screen content exclusively under the Marvel Studios umbrella. However, Deadline now reports that Feige is in talks with ABC to develop a new Marvel superhero show.

ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke confirmed the news and said she was looking forward to working with Feige, but revealed that they had yet to settle on which particular characters would be suitable for a broadcast show.

“We love our partners at Marvel and we’re sad to see [Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D] go, it’s been a big part of our history. We’re looking forward to working with Kevin Feige and we’re at the very beginning of conversations with him now about what a Marvel and ABC show might look like. Right now, Marvel’s focus has been on Disney+, as it should be.”

Apparently, this is completely separate to the new female superhero show Marvel had previously been working on for the network, as plans for that have now stalled.

Things are obviously in the very early stages here, but which Marvel hero would you most like to see utilized for this new series? Drop us a comment in the usual place.

@MyCoolYoung -
Just show up. Sometimes it works.

@Himura - the court order prevents it

@MyCoolYoung - Did you try sending him a fruit basket?

MyCoolYoung - 1/9/2020, 7:14 AM

@Matador - I did. Still nothing I'm sure he enjoyed it. Coincidentally, I saw him stumping on a basket that looked eerily similar to mine screaming "fcking psychopath". I wonder what that guy or gal did to him

That quote is essentially nothing. It is so vague and non-committal, its a nothing answer.

All it seems to say, is that at some point, once Marvel Studios have stopped focussing on Disney Plus, ABC will potentially sit down for talks at some point with Kevin Feige, and chat about the notional concept of what a Marvel Studios TV show on ABC may or may not look like in a hypothetical future scenario...

That's a big stretch to then say that Kevin Feige is definitely working on a "mysterious" new TV show for ABC.

@528491 - Deadline reports that Feige and ABC are in talks about a future Marvel superhero project. We don't know what character it'll focus on, making it "mysterious."

Where's the stretch?

528491 - 1/8/2020, 1:37 PM

@RorMachine - Your headline says that they are "in talks" (i.e. present tense) whereas the original article on Deadline says that ABC are "eyeing" talks, and "looking forward" to the discussion (i.e. future tense). The quote further caveats itself by saying that nothing is happening right now as they are focussed on Disney Plus.

Also, I would also suggest that your use of the word "myseterious" implies that there is an in-work project which is already determined, but the identity of it remains unknown to us, whereas the quote implies it is just the mere concept of a potential show which they might be discussing (in the future)

Do we know if the series produced by Marvel Studios will all exclusively "air" on Disney+?

rabid - 1/8/2020, 1:30 PM

Could be true. Could also be Burke's wishful thinking. A lot of people are in talks about a lot of things

"we’re sad to see [Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D] go."

Did they feel the same way the multiple times they tried to cancel it?
