It's official. The series announcement that Disney teased us all with a little while ago has been announced that it will follow the exploits of S.H.I.E.L.D (Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division). While Captain America and the rest of the Avengers cast is not expected to sign on, that doesn't count out our two prominent agents—so as long as the series doesn't follow the post-The Avengers timeline (we all want Phil Coulson in our lives).This is speculative, but I can almost guarantee that Cobie Smulders will want to be a part of this project to reprise her role as Agent Maria Hill. In fact, she should be the main character because—come on! She's still a regular cast member on "How I Met Your Mother" though, so the chances of a scheduling conflict is very real. However, I have a good feeling about this.
ABC has ordered a pilot, and while Whedon may not have the time to really get his hands dirty with this project since "The Avengers" sequel is on his plate, several of his "Whedonites," such as Jed Whedon, Jeffrey Bell, and Maurissa Tancheroen, are on board with this one.Other than the pilot, there aren't any details, so how the show's overall scope and feel is impossible to grasp; but the fact that this is actually happening, with these group of people a part of it, means that something a slice above your standard television series is currently in the works.
I for one am a happy schoolboy.
