Apparently Marvel/Disney and ABC are toying with the idea of an expansion of The Avengers cinematic universe for the small screen; seemingly in an early stage.

Despite having multiple projects such as AKA Jessica Jones and a Hulk series in the making, Disney's Marvel and ABC Studios are toying with the idea of something rather new. According to the infamous Deadline, the studios are looking to expand cinematic universe on the small screen, with an Avengers-themed series. The site claims:

“I’ve learned that Marvel’s TV division is in conversation with ABC and ABC Studios about doing a drama series in the Avengers world. I hear that the the connection to the Avengers franchise would be light as the project is expected to be set in the universe and feature some of its themes and feel but may not include any characters from Joss Whedon’s blockbuster.”

The site further claims that the untitled project is described as “a kernel of an idea,” in regards to its current stage. And that various concepts are being considered, including a high-concept cop show. And lastly, the studios are currently in search of a new writer. It's not clear what character(s) will feature. What do you think?

you should know ppl will want to see iron man,thor,etc on the regular in this supposed show,and if that happens theyd have to pay RDJ and the other cast members big time if they were to show up in recurring roles

That's why I thik it's Avengers Academy ...Sam Jackson will never turn down a paycheck and would prob pop up sometimes, get some RDJ voice overs a Thor pop up (since he's a new actor) and it's good money. Since it's disney they can add teen angst and shit ...formula worked with smallsville...

Avengers Academy or Iron Fist.

Too early for Avengers Academy. Without Civil War, it would be cheesy.

Iron Fist would be a cool choice.

Iron Fist would be a cool choice but not for ABC.

The best show that Disney/Marvel can make a killing off of is What IF? It's the twilight zone for the marvel universe.....

It will probably follow agents of shield on their day to day jobs, sprinkled in mentions of superhero phenomenon. No actual heroes involved.

Funny how everyone in here thinks they'd actually make a show featuring actual "heroes". Based on budget I highly doubt they'd do that. Using Shield and making stories around the agents sounds more feasible than anything else.

They would use other actors to play those characters. So RDJ would not receive anything.

TV shows have always used different actors than the movie.

This.

And they can pepper in lesser known elements like HYDRA. It can achieve multiple objectives, such as slowly integrating Avengers lure into mainstream understanding. Imagine Baron Von Strucker becomes a more well known villain, therefore lessening the need to fill in a backstory in subsequent Avengers movies.

Also because S.H.I.E.L.D deals with terrorist organizations spanning most of the Marvel properties, the opportunity for several wink-and-nod storylines is great. You don't need to break the bank on special effects or tie-ins, just focus on the SHIELD agents.

Man the budget for a show like that would be on par with a summer blockbuster movie.

With cheaply produced reality shows being made, I can't see someone signing

Off on this

Who would play Maria Hill?
 
Re: Marvel/Disney Pending New Live-Action TV Series For ABC Set In THE AVENGERS Unive

Bring back Agent Coulson and have the show focus on him.

I believe this. It will have nothing to do with the heroes In the movie.
