Joss Whedon is lined up for Avengers 2 and a SHIELD television pilot for ABC. The creator tells MTV News don’t expect the focus on Nick Fury, Maria Hill and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
“It’s new characters. It needs to be its own thing,” said Whedon. “It needs to be adjacent [to the MCU] but you don’t want to do a show where you’re constantly going, ‘Iron Man just left, but he was totally here a minute ago.’ You want them to do their own thing.”
“Well, what does S.H.I.E.L.D. have that the other superheroes don’t? And that, to me, is that they’re not superheroes,” said Whedon. “But they live in that universe. Even though they’re a big organization, that [lack of powers] makes them underdogs, and that’s interesting to me.”
Clay Quartermain? Valentina? Dum Dum Dugan? Who will join the TV SHIELD?
Avengers 2 opens May 1, 2015.
