S.H.I.E.L.D Becomes 'Marvel's Agents Of SHIELD' & Other News

Posted on 10:16 by rajrani
We're pleased to report that things are going great guns with Joss Whedon's Avengers TV spin-off.

ABC has announced that the show formerly known as S.H.I.E.L.D will now be titled Marvel's Agents Of SHIELD, which to be honest seems like a bit of a mouthful but we're sure there's a good reason for the change.

Somewhat more excitingly, a synopsis for the series has been released:
“Joss Whedon shows us not all heroes are super with Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD.
“Fresh from his role in the summer’s box office smash, Marvel’s The Avengers, Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) returns to the worldwide law enforcement organisation SHIELD. He puts together a small, highly trained, team of agents to tackle the cases that haven’t been classified yet: the new, the strange and the unknown. That team consists of straight arrow agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), an expert in combat and espionage; pilot and martial artist Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen); and brilliant if socially awkward scientists Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge). They’ll be joined by civilian new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).
“Prepare for an epic adventure that showcases the hope and wonder of the human spirit. This is a world of superheroes, aliens and the unusual; of action, spectacle and world-spanning stories. The show will speak to the human condition through the lens of our very human, non-powered SHIELD agents – that together we are greater than we are apart, and that we can make a difference in the world.
“Executive produced and co-written by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen (Dollhouse, Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog), Jeffrey Bell (Angel, Alias) and Jeph Loeb (Smallville, Lost, Heroes) comes Marvel’s first live-action TV series, Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD.”
On first reading, we're a little wary of the somewhat schmaltzy second paragraph, but if anyone can turn schmaltz into spectacular it's The Great Whedon.

Speaking of, Whedon has promised that the show will share the style of Marvel's movies - though presumably not the budget.

"The idea of the Little Guy is something that I am very fierce about, and there has never been a better Little Guy than Clark Gregg," he told Deadline last month.

"That intrigued me - this world around the superhero community. It's the more intimate stories that belong on television that... can really tap into the visual style and ethos, and even some of the mythology, of the Marvel movies.

"How much it's actually seeding or hinting or reacting to what's going on in the movies is something we'll let play out as we go," he added.

"For me the most important thing is that people fall in love with it on its own merits, rather than constantly asking, 'Is there gonna be an Avenger [appearing]?'"

Shooting on the pilot recently wrapped and the project is now under consideration for a series pick-up.
