‘Agents of SHIELD’ Spin-Off Pushing Through? Adrianne Palicki & Nick Blood Series in The Works
Last season's "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" uncovered a lot dangers for the team, specially with the introduction of the Inhumans. Due to this, it seems that Ming-Na Wen's Agent May is no longer sure whether or not her heart (and loyalty) is still with the organization.
Wen told TV Guide, "In any situation when someone is so devoted to their work as May was, but then realizing over the last two years that S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't really what she dedicated her life to."
She explained, "That there was definitely a lot of corruption to S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as uncertainty now with the Inhumans being brought in by Coulson. It's going to be figuring out her final decision in Season 3 and I think Andrew (May's estranged husband, played by Blair Underwood) will probably play a part in it."
While Agent May is figuring out her next move in the next season, ABC also figured out what it will do with the "Agents of SHIELD" spin-off that has been in talks for a while now. According to Entertainment Weekly, ABC is close to making a deal for the Mockingbird-centric "Marvel's Most Wanted."
The upcoming series was reported to be in development earlier in the year. However, when the network finally announced its slew of shows for the next season, the spin-off starring Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood was reported not to go forward.
A report from Variety, however, indicated that even though "Most Wanted" is no longer categorized as a spin-off, it will still focus on Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter's continued adventures, and will still be developed by "SHIELD" producers Jeffrey Bell and Paul Zbyszewski. The two are considered the showrunners.
Zap2It noted that there's no timeframe as to the debut of "Most Wanted," but if this pushes through, it will be the second "SHIELD" companion series, following "Agent Carter." John Ridley also has another secret project in the works, so all in all, there could be as many as four Marvel shows in primetime during the next season's cycle.
During the ABC Upfronts call, Zap2It noted that president Paul Lee mentioned having Palicki and Blood on "SHIELD" is appropriate as the series is going strong. Now, it seems that the company is changing its mind, although there's no certainty when "Most Wanted" will arrive in the small screen.
Which do you think is the better idea -- keeping Palicki and Blood on "SHIELD" or giving them their own series in "Most Wanted"?
