SHIELD: The TV series is on track ...

At Marvel (and therefore at Disney), we are surfing on the success of The Avengers and we already know that Joss Whedon will be at the helm of the second cinematographic opus scheduled for 2015.

But we learn today that ABC, the powerful American channel, has just ordered a pilot of a potential future series taking place in the universe of SHIELD and which will be written and probably directed by the same Joss Whedon.

On the other hand, it is advisable not to get carried away, the series should focus on the adventures of the Agents of SHIELD and the super heroes who make up the Avengers team should only make a brief appearance at best, just to keep the consistency of the thing.

Rumors are rife: We talk about the presence of Samuel L. Jackson episodically, via video briefings for example, of Cobie Smulders alias Agent Maria Hill, and even of the possibility that the series is a prequel in which we would find Clark Gregg aka Agent Coulson. None of this is confirmed, the series should go into production soon, and we just have to hope that we won't be entitled to a Cop show classic in futuristic sauce without the particular flavor of what makes SHIELD an organization apart: The presence of super heroes.
