With the continued success of Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,' ABC is not stopping itself from coming up with new ideas for new shows at the network. According to an IGN report, Marvel has reportedly ordered a pilot for a spinoff of the 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'
The spinoff, which is tentatively called 'Marvel's Most Wanted', will reportedly star the character Mockingbird, otherwise known as Bobbi Morse in the hit superhero series. In the series, the character is played by Adrianne Palicki and with the pilot order, she is expected to cross over to the new series if needed. The project will also reportedly feature Morse's on-and-off partner Lance Hunter, who is played by Nick Blood.
Although it never aired, Marvel Television did film a pilot. Produced in early 2016, it seemed certain that the project would get a series order, with showrunners Bell and Paul Zbyszewski openly confident in the prospect. However, in May of that year, ABC announced that Most Wanted would not be happening. Marvel's Most Wanted, or simply Most Wanted, is an unaired television pilot based on the characters of Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter, and was intended to be a spin-off to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It was slated to be produced by Marvel Television, and to air on ABC. On May 12, 2016, it was announced that ABC would not pick up the series. Marvel’s Most Wanted is still in development as a pilot for ABC, and that series came even closer to being a real possibility with the events of this week’s episode of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. “Marvel’s Most Wanted” is heading to pilot with no firm dates for a premiere yet. It would star Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood. Subscribe to our Newsletter. Adrianne Palicki‘s Mockingbird is taking flight. ABC has given a pilot order to Marvel’s Most Wanted, an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Spinoff, starring the Friday Night Lights alumna as Bobbi Morse.
The IGN report also mentioned that as early as April 2015, rumors about the spinoff project were already circulating but were quickly followed by news that it was no longer pushing through.
Recent reports however point to a revival of the project. Another report in BGR mentioned that the project was junked early on, but ABC president Paul Lee himself later hinted that 'the show might rise from the ashes after all' and added, 'It certainly is a possibility of spinning them off.' The report also said that the network has yet to decide if it will eventually run the spinoff as it all depends on how the public will respond to the pilot. If this is the case, then the upcoming season of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' may possibly touch on how the characters of Morse and Hunter will be leaving the team.
