You’ve Seen The Premiere, Now See What’s Next On ‘Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiered last night to a whopping 11.9 million viewers, making it the LARGEST television drama premiere in almost four years (surpassed only by ABC’s own V a few years back).

As it turns out, most of the footage we’d seen up to last night was contained within the explosive (and sometimes dry) premiere episode, leaving all of us wondering what would come next for the newly assembled don’t-call-it-a-team.

Fear not! ABC has debuted a new trailer for the series, showing off some of the action that’s set to hit in subsequent episodes. It looks like a lot of fun, but hopefully the show can solve some of the issues present with the pilot episode.

Take a look at the new trailer below, and let us know what you thought of last night’s premiere!

Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson’s team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker); brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet). From Executive Producers Joss Whedon (“Marvel’s The Avengers,” ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer”); Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen, “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” pilot co-writers (“Dollhouse,” “Dr.Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”); Jeffrey Bell (“Angel,” “Alias”); and Jeph Loeb (“Smallville”) comes Marvel’s first TV series. “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television.

New Poster Unveiled For ‘Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: After an interesting twitter campaign yesterday that had fans retweeting by the thousands, ABC has debuted a flashy new poster for their upcoming series, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (that title is never going to get shorter, is it?).

The poster really doesn’t reveal anything new about the series, or better prepare us for the September 24th premiere, but seeing as the series begins in just over a month, it’s definitely time for ABC to get marketing. This poster game definitely did its duty too, as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was one of yesterday’s top trending topics.

Take a look at the new poster below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the show! Again, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premieres on September 24th!

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was just ordered to series last week, and ABC is not wasting any time buiding anticipation for it.

First, we saw a neat first teaser during Sunday’s Once Upon A Time season finale. Shortly afterwards, a mysterious viral marketing site popped up online. Now, it’s time for more footage. The newest teaser clocks in at just seven seconds (I’m guessing we’re going to see a lot of these…), and is titled ‘Welcome to Level 7’. Take a look below, and let us know what you think!

The network has also released their Fall schedule, and while no premiere date or episode count has been revealed, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will air on Tuesday nights at 8pm. With just months to go until we finally get to see the show, how freaking excited are you?

‘Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Viral Marketing Begins!

by Derek Kraneveldt

ABC is sure going full force with this one.

Along with the first teaser for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (damn that’s a lot to type), the network has also launched the first piece of viral marketing for the anticipated series with a blog named The Rising Tide.

The site appears to be run by an anti-S.H.I.E.L.D. organization, as the top of the homepage states “WHO IS S.H.I.E.L.D.? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? SUPER-POWERS ARE REAL. ALIENS EXIST. WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE? WE WILL UNCOVER THE TRUTH. WE WILL NOT REMAIN SILENT ANY LONGER.”

It’ll certainly be interesting to see what The Rising Tide comes up with as Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. approaches. Currently the site features a series of short conspiracy videos tying S.H.I.E.L.D. to a plethora of disastrous (and Marvel related) events. Check out the videos below, and let us know what you think!

Official Synopsis & Title Revealed For Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. Pilot

by Shawn Madden

We’ve heard about the cast of, but other than that there’s been plenty of secrecy surrounding the Marvel & ABC’s upcoming pilot for their S.H.I.E.L.D. series. ABC Network has now provided a an official synopsis for the Joss Whedon directed pilot, which also reveals that the series will be called Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Check out the synopsis for the hour-long prospective series below.

Joss Whedon (MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) shows us not all heroes are super with MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.
 
Fresh from his role in the summer’s box office smash, MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS, Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) returns to the worldwide law enforcement organization S.H.I.E.L.D. He puts together a small, highly trained, team of Agents to tackle the cases that haven’t been classified yet, the new, the strange and the unknown. That team consists of straight arrow Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), an expert in combat and espionage; pilot and martial artist Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen); and brilliant if socially awkward scientists Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge). They’ll be joined by civilian new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).
 
Prepare for an epic adventure that showcases the hope and wonder of the human spirit. This is a world of Super Heroes, aliens and the unusual – of action, spectacle and world spanning stories. The show will speak to the human condition through the lens of our very human, non-powered S.H.I.E.L.D agents – that together we are greater than we are apart, and that we can make a difference in the world.
 
Executive Produced and co-written by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen (Dollhouse, Dr.Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog), Jeffrey Bell (Angel, Alias) and Jeph Loeb (Smallville, Lost, Heroes) comes Marvel’s first live-action TV series, MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

Word is that the pilot for the prospective series (who are we kidding…it’s going to get picked up) will air sometime in August.

SXSW 2013: Joss Whedon & Clark Gregg Talk ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’, LMD’s And More

by GeekscapeStaff

We caught up with Joss Whedon and Clark Gregg at SXSW and talked with the two about the upcoming pilot for Marvel & ABC’s S.H.I.E.L.D. Now, while they couldn’t reveal to us too much about the project, we did finally find out who would win in a fight between Agent Coulson and Nick Fury.

 

 

You can catch the pilot for Marvel & ABC’s S.H.I.E.L.D. this summer. Also make sure to check out our review of Whedon and Gregg’s latest film, Much Ado About Nothing, here.

Marvel & ABC’s ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Pilot Confirmed To Take Place After ‘The Avengers’

by Shawn Madden

When word broke that Clark Gregg would be returning as Agent Coulson for Marvel & ABC’s S.H.I.E.L.D., many wondered if perhaps the series would be a prequel to Marvel Studios the Avengers. There’s also been plenty of theories regarding how the character would re-appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, while speaking with IGN, ABC President Paul Lee was asked how Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. would tie in with the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he has revealed that the pilot will be taking place after the battle of New York in The Avengers. So, life model decoys?

 

“There is no question that it is part of the Marvel Universe. In fact, the story takes place after the battle for New York.”

 

He also pointed out that while this is a part of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, this series is very much a standalone series at the same time.

 

“This is S.H.I.E.L.D. They’re following their own particular stories. There are characters in it, Coulson, who clearly comes from Avengers. So it’s part of the world, but we’re going to be very, very careful that we don’t tread on the toes of the features and build a whole new world. And that’s what Joss Whedon does better than anybody else. He’s built a world for us.”

When asked about introducing more Marvel characters if the series gets picked up (even though we all know it’s going to), Lee sounded pretty optimistic about the possibility.

 

“I think if we’re lucky enough to have a great series, we’re obviously having fun with that. At this point though, we have a number of characters at the heart of the script who are real characters, who are the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the first task is to make those guys great and relatable and everything that a great show needs. Beyond that, fingers crossed!”

Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot begins filming next week and will most likely air on ABC during the fall.

Jeph Loeb Reveals When To Expect The First Episode Of Marvel & ABC’s ‘S.H.I.E.L.D’

by Shawn Madden

There has been various casting announcements and small bits of news coming out over the past few months regarding Marvel & ABC’s S.H.I.E.L.D. But, currently there had been no word as to when we might actually see the pilot for the series. Now, in a recent interview with PREVIEWSworld, Marvel Head Of Television (as well as comic writer) Jeph Loeb revealed just when to expect to see the pilot next year.

“We have a “little” pilot for television that you might have heard about called Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. co-written, directed, and Executive Produced by none other than Joss Whedon! Working with Joss, Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, Jeffrey Bell on the show is a blast! And bringing in Clark Gregg to play Agent Phil Coulson…the best! Hopefully we will be on in the Fall of 2013 on ABC!”

While this doesn’t give any actual air date it does give an idea of when to expect the live-action Marvel Studios series. With how well they’ve handled their movies, it’s going to be pretty exciting to see what they can do with a weekly television series in between their films.

Geekscape Comics: Agent Coulson To Have Important Role In ‘Marvel NOW! Point One’

by Shawn Madden

Agent Phil Coulson recently made his comic debut in the Battle Scars mini-series alongside Marcus Johnson/Nick Fury Jr. (aka Sam Jackson edition Nick Fury), and now it appears that Agent Coulson will be one of the central characters featured in this October’s Marvel NOW! Point One. Phil will appear in a story from the creative team of Nick Spencer (Ultimate Comics X-Men) and Luke Ross (Captain America), the details of which are currently unknown. We all want more Phil right? Or is it just me?

Lionsgate & Roadside Attractions Pick Up Joss Whedon’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’

by Shawn Madden

About this time a year ago it was revealed that Joss Whedon had completed an entire movie secretly. Yes, somehow the Whedonites didn’t even know about it. What movie was this that slipped under everyone’s radar? Well, the movie was a contemporary adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.

Just recently the film screened at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival and it appears that Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions have acquired the film. The film starring such Whedon regulars as Amy Acker (The Cabin In The Woods), Fran Cranz (The Cabin In The Woods), Nathan Fillion (Firefly), Alexis Denisof (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Tom Lenk (Angel) and Clark Gregg aka Agent Coulson (The Avengers) was completed in just around 12 days in Santa Monica.

Whedon commented on Lionsgate and Roadside acquiring the film:

“I’m thrilled to be working with my cronies at Lionsgate again, and with The Roadside team. That they all embrace a Shakespearean romance with the same enthusiasm they had for Cabin in the Woods shows that they’re exactly the mad fools we want to be partying – I mean working – with.”

The film will be a joint theatrical release by Lionsgate and sister company Roadside Attractions although no specific date has, as of yet, been announced.

Watch The Hilarious Red Band Trailer For ‘The To Do List’!

by Shawn Madden

The cast of this movie alone should sell you on seeing this. The debut red-band trailer for upcoming comedy The To Do List (which was previously titled The Hand Job), written and directed by Maggie Carey, has been released and it’s far from clean.  The film features Aubrey Plaza as a sexually inexperienced teenager with a type-A personality who makes the decision to engage in numerous sex acts before she goes to college.  Plaza is joined by Donald Glover, Rachel Bilson, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Alia Shawkat, Mae Whitman, Johnny Simmons, Connie Britton, Clark Gregg aka Agent Coulson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Scott Porter. Who isn’t in this movie? Isn’t this the perfect Valentines day movie? Why are you still reading what I am writing rather than watching the trailer?

Starring Aubrey Plaza, THE TO DO LIST follows the story of Brandy Klark (Plaza), a Type-A, overachiever who comes up with a “to-do list” featuring all the risqué extra-curricular activities she missed out on in high school and wants to complete before college. Rachel Bilson, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Scott Porter, Connie Britton, Clark Gregg, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Donald Glover, Johnny Simmons, Sarah Steele and Alia Shawkat co-star in the film.

The To Do List opens February 14th, 2013 aka Valentines day!

So, Want To See What Agent Coulson Would Look Like If He Returned As The Vision?

by Shawn Madden

After his demise in Marvel’s The Avengers tons of speculation began floating around if we would see the return of fan-favorite Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) in the future. One of the most popular rumors was that maybe he could return as another fan-favorite character The Vision. Well, one fan over at TheRPF forums has sculpted out his “vision” for us to check out. And by my bad pun I definitely mean he made a sculpt of Clark Gregg as The Vision. There will be no more bad puns in this article I promise you.

So, what do you guys think? Would you like Clark Gregg to return as The Vision or would you prefer Agent Coulson to stay on the R.I.P. list?
