ABC's Marvel's AGENTS OF SHIELD Spin Off Still a 'Possibility'
Despite reports to the contrary, ABC Entertainment Group president Paul Lee revealed that a spin-off of the network's MARVEL'S AGENTS OF SHIELD is still a 'possibility.'
The exec made the comments during a press conference call today, ahead of the network's Upfront presentation in New York. After praising both 'SHIELD' and its newest installment 'AGENT CARTER', Lee teased, "it certainly is a possibility of spinning them off."
He added, "We absolutely love those characters on 'SHIELD,'" said Lee, who added the characters were at their best this season.
About MARVEL'S AGENTS OF SHIELD:
After helping to thwart Hydra, Agent Phil Coulson was appointed as Director and tasked with rebuilding the agency. Agent Melinda May, expert pilot, martial artist and longtime friend, will continue to look after Coulson in the wake of the mysterious etchings he's been carving into walls.
Grant Ward, highly trained in combat and espionage, was found to be a Hydra mole and a traitor to S.H.I.E.L.D. and locked up away from the world and his former teammates. But this isn't the last we've seen of him...
After being left to die in the middle of the ocean by Ward, Agent Leo Fitz, brilliant engineer, and Agent Jemma Simmons, genius bio-chemist, found a way to escape their watery grave. But all did not go well for Fitz, who was left in a coma and may never regain his full cognitive functions; a devastating blow to Simmons.
And computer hacker Skye, now a full-fledged S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, discovered her origins as a 0-8-4 - an object of unknown origin - and that her parents were considered "monsters." Could Skye have darkness lying dormant inside of her?
Also joining Coulson's core team is Lance Hunter, a dashing mercenary sharp shooter with a quick wit. Since he didn't rise up through the ranks, does he have an ulterior motive for helping out the team.
