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

[Legion_Quest]

Sadly, I think they would water down Marc's character way too much. He needs a cable series and so does that Thomas Jane Punisher (as unpleasant to watch as that was, that really nailed the character.)

But I would also put a shout out to the Defenders as there was always a rotating cast of characters. You could slip Namor, Iron Fist, She Hulk, Surfer along with Doctor Strange. That could be a lot of fun and perhaps tie into ABC's Once Upon a Time (the weird fantasy/fairy tale angle.)

I really wouldn't want more Avengers as we will likely see a lot more characters join the Cinematic team in sequels.

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

depends on the show itself as some IPs are more versatile than others.

The original Moon Knight series would work well on ABC and wouldn't need to watered down. The recent incarnation? Yeah, I agree, cable would probably be the best route to go.

Dazzler!!!!

They could probably do a Moon Knight show too.

D'oh! That's right. Well hopefully the rights will revert back.

Okay, maybe for variety they could do various smaller teams: Heroes for Hire, Midnight Sons (and include Doc). Many folks have already said what a great fit Daredevil would be for television. I think he would work on broadcast or cable. That is, if the rights revert back to Marvel.

A valid point. Although the awful Bendis incarnation would be broadcast ready in a heartbeat. Huston's variation: cable all the way.

That's the nice thing about a lot of the books Bendis does... they're actually well made in terms of translating them into a screen play. You can turn his Moon Knight book or Alias into a TV show with very little tweaking honestly. He writes with those kind of cinemanic sensibilities.

AKA Jessica Jones starring Jennifer Garner.

[Prince Of Orphans]

Heroes for Hire but pleaaaase don't call it that. That name just doesn't work for me.

Moon Knight would work too. Could benefit from all the DKR buzz. The world needs a Batman... or someone similar lol

The last superhero type show I can recall on ABC was called No Ordinary Family.It was canceled after only 20 episodes for poor ratings...

Yeah, but it wasn't very good. At all.

[Sebastos]

Heroes for Hire would be all kinds of awesome.

Namor is with Marvel, Kevin Feige confirmed it.
