ABC Getting New Marvel Series Following Lesser-Known Female Superheroes
While Loki, Scarlet Witch and friends get their own TV series on the new Disney streaming service, some lesser-known Marvel superheroes will be getting their own TV show on ABC.
This live-action series, from Marvel Television and ABC Studios, isn't connected to Marvel Studios or the MCU. Not at this point, anyway. Instead, it's coming from DC's "Wonder Woman" writer Allan Heinberg, who is back to write about more women with superpowers.
According to Deadline, the series is meant to focus on relatively obscure female Marvel characters; they speculated that the list could include A-Force, Lady Liberators, and Fearless Defenders.
Deadline reports that ABC has given a production commitment to this new untitled hourlong drama, but we'll have to stay tuned for more details.
So far, Marvel Television has given ABC "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "Agent Carter," and "Inhumans." "Jessica Jones" was also developed for ABC at first, before moving to Netflix as part of that "Defenders" series.
