Marvel fans are still waiting to learn if the TV branch can acknowledge Infinity War, but the two sides were closer than we knew. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo now admit that screenwriters considered including Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Defenders and all the rest.
The ending of Avengers: Infinity War will reverberate for years, but leaves Marvel TV in a tricky spot. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has already acknowledged the MCU blockbuster once, and one star hints the universe-shattering finale will continually play out on the ABC drama.
It’s safe to say that Marvel’s Inhumans was pretty much dead-on-arrival, but ABC may not count out Black Bolt, Medusa and the rest just yet. Network brass still haven’t decided on an official cancellation, but provide updates on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 6 and other Marvel projects in development.
Some of Marvel’s most beloved and diverse superheroes are headed to the small-screen. The comics giant is working on a new animated Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors project, featuring fan-favorites like Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl, Spider-Gwen, and some familiar voices from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Now that The Inhumans are firmly settled on Earth, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have traded places with them in space. Ahead of Friday’s two-hour premiere, watch the first seventeen minutes of Season 5, as we learn what became of Coulson and co. after that guardedly galactic Season 4 cliffhanger.
Sure, Marvel will take us to the moon this very Friday with The Inhumans, but who needs ‘em? Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are waiting in the wings with Season 5, and they’re heading deeper into space by our first look at the new poster.
Neither The Punisher nor Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. got to hold court at Comic-Con 2017, but Marvel will change that for New York. Both series will be granted their own panels in Madison Square Garden to preview the upcoming seasons from NYCC.
