For all of the Marvel fans who have seen their dreams come true on the big screen, there are some who long for a little something closer to home. Well, it seems that their wishes are about to become a reality. ABC has ordered a pilot from Joss Whedon and Marvel TV for S.H.I.E.L.D.
In the Marvel comic universe, S.H.I.E.L.D. is secret military and espionage organization created by Nick Fury after World War II. The group has been closely associated with various superheroes throughout the years, including Captain America, the Avengers, and the Fantastic Four. The original team, recruited by Fury, included Iron Man, Captain America, The Hulk and Thor. Their mission was to stop Loki. The group entered the Marvel universe in Strange Tales #135, August 1965.

While Joss Whedon has signed a deal to work for Marvel in film and TV development for the next three years, we’re not sure just when he’s going to find time to do this pilot. Also, Variety is reporting that the show will be autonomous from The Avengers sequel. Of course, don’t expect a big budget production like we’re used to seeing on the silver screen. After all, this is television we’re talking about here.

So what are your thoughts on a new Marvel TV series with Joss Whedon at the helm?
it was stupid to change the title of the agency...
Wasn't excited til I saw Joss Whedon's name in it. Now it has a chance of being great!
