Marvel/ABC developing 'Jessica Jones-esque' show
- Thread starter LordOfLore
- Start date
Isn't the Ridley show still in development? I feel like we hear something about it every few months.
I know Damage Control was officially canned and Most Wanted never made it past the pilot.

Yeah..that's..huh?
The only issue I had with the show was that when David Tennant wasn't on screen it was't as good
...I can see
What I don't see is someone making a tv show of him of all people.
And I was the person who said a Slapstick tv show was possible a few posts back =P

She-Hulk has possible issues with rights with Universal, but so does Spiderwoman (who should be with Marvel, but was rumored to be part of one of the Sony spin-offs back before the deal with Marvel).
Also, with how separate they're currently keeping TV and movies, I highly, highly doubt that any movie character would get their own TV show.
That, without question, would be a Sony thing.

So we aren't going to see Detective Howard the Duck? Damn it.
Please
I don't think Sony has Spider-Man television rights
Oh I don't know
I feel like we've been hearing about it for years
And if not moving forward just assumed been mothballed for now.

People would say this wouldn't work but honestly framed the right way and an acceptance of some not perfect CG it could work really well.

I think Sony has Spider-Man live action rights, regardless of whether it's TV or movies. Just like Fox has live-action X-Men rights on both fronts.

How about you bring back a revamped Agent Carter?
Some googling led me to two articles that say Marvel has the Spider-Man TV rights

So a show where the villain's performance vastly overshadows the main protagonist?

How about Agent 13? Emily VanCamp belongs on TV, and is NOT busy.
I think these production companies generally have a preference towards making shows people actually want to see, though.

Uh, sure. Agent Carter was good, AoS is at times great. ABC has a decent track record. I actually expected them to spin off Damage Control from Homecoming. Guess not after they saw Powerless.

She-Hulk deserves better than TV, especially looking at the budget Marvel shows usually get.

It's happening
That cover is such misleading BS.
Forbush man is not even in that issue.
You want a big budget Southpaw?

I wonder if they'd have it so that she'd look like She-Hulk all the time or just change into her when she's mad.

Came here to post this. It's way past time for her to get into the MCU, outside of Nova she's perhaps the biggest omission.
The nice thing about She-Hulk is that she doesn't have a completely outlandish physique, so it should be relatively easy to find someone to play her, and the makeup isn't all that difficult.

TV budget She-Hulk would look like a Brazzers parody.

The easy solution is "Oh, something happens in the pilot where we spend all our CGI moneys that depowers her and she has to be Jen Walters until its fixed"

Fox's TV rights for X-Men were always separate from their movie rights. Originally Marvel retained all TV rights as well.
Based on the documents from the Mutant X lawsuit, there was a "freeze" clause in Fox's original contract with Marvel for the film rights that forbid Marvel from creating any live-action X-Men shows without Fox's consent (which was Fox's grounds for suing Marvel back then). Obviously that's been changed with the new X-Men shows but it's very much possible that Sony has the same clause on their Spider-Man contract as well - so while Marvel may have the TV rights, Sony has veto power.
(though we also know that Sony used to own the cartoon TV rights which were sold back to Marvel at some point - so it's possible that this is not the case as well)
I mean. ABC touched all MCU tv shows, including the Netflix stuff, Agent Carter and AoS.
Bad taste...
Nah we're good.
It touched several Marvel shows though lol

"I can't really play videogames..."
I honestly used that line way too many times in my college.

The only reason I don't want it to be Jessica Drew is because I want her and Monica to be in a Captain Marvel movie.

How about a TV show showing both Agent Carter and Agent 13 in two different timeframes, like Carter in the past and 13 in the present, with a story that could be somehow interconnected.

If she weren't stuck on Netflix.
