Joss Whedon's Marvel TV Show is S.H.I.E.L.D.

It was never going to be anything as big as say The Avengers: The Series. Imagine the cash Disney would bleed to fund that sucker! Nobody thought that was the case, to be fair.

No, everyone assumed that Marvel show Joss Whedon would tinker with in between punch-ups on The Avengers 2 was gonna be more S.H.I.E.L.D. catered. Guess what? It is. Oh, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is also the title and it has the greenlight from ABC.

Whedon’s brother Jed and sister-in-law Maurissa Tancharoen will co-author the pilot for Joss to direct. And since every actor used their blood for ink on their Marvel contracts (Robert Downey Jr. probably the sole exception), don't be surprised if you randomly see Marc Ruffalo getting a cup of coffee at the S.H.I.E.L.D. kitchen or Sam Jackson, the movie-player we'll see the most, ordering in Chinese.

Watch it be about the guy playing Galaga.
