Marvel is on a roll with their announcements this year at San Diego Comic Con. This time, Jeph Loeb, Head of Television, was brought to the stage to talk about Marvel's projects for the television.
The lucky attendees were able to watch footage from both
Ultimate Spider-Man and
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Season 2. Loeb also announced some some live-action shows that are in development, and they're pretty shocking. The shows will focus around these characters (each one is getting their own show):
- Jessica Jones
- Hulk
- Cloak and Dagger
- Mockingbird
Who would've ever thought that Jessica Jones will be getting her own show, and what about Mockingbird? Mockingbird might be cool, Cloak and Dagger would be awesome, Hulk as been done before, but Jessica Jones? I don't know how to feel about this, I do want to see it though, just for curiosity; if that's the case, I hope it doesn't flop like
Wonder Woman. Loeb does say that some may or may not make it to the screen, but he does talk about each one.
aka Jessica Jones is being done at ABC and will be based on Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos'
Alias, don't get it mixed up with J.J. Abrams
Alias because they're both different characters. Loeb does confirm that Carol Danvers and Luke Cage will be featured.
Hulk will be focused on Banner and Betty and their love for each other with the setting to be set in the Hulk's earlier years, before everyone knows Banner the Hulk. This show sounds boring, I don't want to watch a show that will be full of romance scenes.
Cloak and Dagger will be featured on ABC Family and will be set in post-Katrina New Orleans.
Mockingbird is also going to be on ABC Family, Bobby will be depicted as "a Peter Parker Nerd" as she's getting into S.H.I.E.L.D. Hopefully some other characters will be shown in the show.
Loeb then moved away from the live-action and moved onto the animated shows. He announced that
Ultimate Spider-Man will be on Disney XD next year. After then, he showed the audience footage of the show. Unfortunately there's no footage of it, I wish I could see it though.
Hulk: Agents of SMASH is another television animated project that Marvel is working on that will also be featured on Disney XD.
The first episode of
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Season 2 was premiered in which it showed the Fantastic Four hanging out with the Avengers at the Avenger's Mansion as Doctor Doom is the protagonist in this episode.
I'm pretty much excited for all of this, minus
Hulk and
aka Jessica Jones. I can't wait for Avengers to start up again and see the Fantastic Four for more than 5 scenes. I would love to see Marvel get their own television station though; they'd be able to show all T.V. shows Marvel has done, which is quit a big amount considering that they have shows focused around Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men (X-Men TAS, X-Men Evolution and Wolverine and the X-Men) Spider-Man and whatnot. I'd watch that station 24/7 though
