- SHIELD TV SERIES
As part of his deal with Marvel, Whedon will be returning to
television to develop a pilot for ABC that centers on S.H.I.E.L.D. He previously spoke about his enthusiasm for
the show’s premise, but in an interview with MTV he cautions viewers not to
expect too many familiar faces:

“It’s new characters. It needs to be its own thing. It needs
to be adjacent [to the MCU] but you don’t want to do a show where you’re
constantly going, ‘Iron Man just left, but he was totally here a minute ago.’
You want them to do their own thing.”
He noted that what appeals to him about turning S.H.I.E.L.D.
into a TV series is the underdog nature of their position:
“Well, what does S.H.I.E.L.D. have that the other
superheroes don’t? And that, to me, is that they’re not superheroes. But they live
in that universe. Even though they’re a big organization, that [lack of powers]
makes them underdogs, and that’s interesting to me.”
The pilot is still in the development stage, but Whedon is
onboard as a co-writer and may possibly direct the pilot when the time comes if
his schedule allows for it.
