Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. coming to ABC Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET this fall!
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,” “Lost,” “Heroes”) comes Marvel’s first TV series. “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television. Yes and you thought from The Avengers Movie that Agent Phil Coulson was dead, guess again. Check it out this fall.
Finally something to watch this fall. Looks like it will kick ass.
DC has had programs produced on TV Smallville and superman before but I don’t remember Marvel is this their first?
Other than the animated series from Marvel I think it is the first TV related action series from Marvel Entertainment.
CBS did a series called The Amazing Spider-Man (TV series) in 1977-1979 only lasted couple of years. Also CBS from 1978 to 1982 produces The Incredible Hulk with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno which was very popular.
