Marvel and ABC Pursuing a Drama Series Set in THE AVENGERS Universe

It's going to be Luke Cage and Jessica.

*shudder*

S.H.I.E.L.D. would be the no brainer if they wanted to link it to the Marvel movies and those that like Avengers.

I like the idea of Code: Blue but it can't just be SWAT stuff like Flashpoint, they would need to add in some mystery to make it closer to a detective show as well.

District X, I just can't see them pulling off, without it looking hokey which is the last thing I know they would want for a TV show linked to their film dynasty.

A Pulse series makes sense, but how often does a show about any news media survive unless they go for more trashy drama stuff?

A lot of the Defenders character belong to other studios, I know Surfer and Namor belong to Fox thanks to the FF deal

This comes up all the time, but Marvel has the rights to Namor, his rights were sold separately and they got them back some time ago.

Meta human is DC you could probably get around it. Or they can work with Fox and put it on FX or something

DC uses the term but they hardly own it, and its hardly something most non comic fans would associate with DC comics.

Well, the same could be said for the term mutants with Marvel.

Wasn't there a show a few years back called Mutant X? Had the guy who played Lex luthor on the Teri Hatcher Superman.

I think it was unrelated to Marvel.

It'd be great to see something like Heroes for Hire set like Angel was. Have Cage be the main guy with Iron fist as his partner/best friendwith Misty as secretary/dispatch. Jessica Jones as a private eye or reconcept as a police detective

[PwrdOff]

I'd much rather watch a show about Misty and Colleen over Luke and Danny. Enough with the white people doing kung fu, let the ghost of David Carradine rest in peace.

They should do this Alias-like but replace Jessica Jones by Rick Jones because Rick is like the mascott of the Marvel Universe. You start this like Interview with the Vampire, right. Rick is being interviewed by a talbloid journalist and Rick wants to spill it all on super-heroes. He says he is friend with Hulk and Cap and so forth and knows all their secrets and what makes them tick.

From there you either have Rick start telling his story and then you see his life where he meets all these guys in a realistic manner. Or just when he is about to tell his stuff, he is almost murdered by a secret villain with his own agenda and then Rick is on the run and the tabloid guy keeps chasing him. Or maybe you do both.
