Marvel's Most Wanted was supposed to air on ABC as a spinoff of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., with Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood reprising their roles as Bobbi Morse (aka Mockingbird) and Lance Hunter, respectively. The project received a pilot order in August of 2015 and added some new cast members shortly thereafter, including Delroy Lindo as Dominic Fortune, Fernanda Andrade as Christina Santos and Oded Fehr as a 'well-known' Marvel Comics character. ABC is moving forward with a pilot for the “Agents of SHIELD” spinoff “Marvel’s Most Wanted,” network chief Paul Lee announced Saturday. During his executive session at the Television. 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. ABC Pilot “Marvel’s Most Wanted” casts Dominic Fortune Author: Carolyn Poddig No Comments Share: According to Deadline Hollywood, Marvel has begun to cast it’s “most wanted” actors, starting with Delroy Lindo as Dominic Fortune – notorious treasure hunter and thrill seeker. Marvel's Most Wanted Jan 26, 2016. Marvel’s Most Wanted pilot has cast Delroy Lindo as Dominic Fortune.
Agents of SHIELD has been superb this season, and Agent Carter‘s second season looks like a promising followup to an excellent series. So, ABC appears to want to follow it up, by ordering a pilot for Mockingbird: Marvel’s Most Wanted.
For those unfamiliar, the pilot would follow SHIELD agent Bobbi Morse (Adrianne Palicki) and her ex-husband Lance Hunter (Nick Blood) as they hunt down supervillains, HYDRA agents, and assorted scum of the Marvel Universe. Well, Bobbi will hunt down supervillains. If this season of Agents of SHIELD is any indication, Hunter will screw up her operations with his machismo and complain a lot.
It’s not clear exactly how much it will cross over with its mother series, or who else might be cast, although ABC has been oddly insistent that the show is not a spin-off. That said, as Agents of SHIELD has embraced its superspy-meets-superheroes concept and stepped away from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s become great in its own right, so it’s not clear exactly what this new take could bring to the table.
Marvel's Most Wanted Pilot
One thing Marvel and ABC might try, and which would be exciting, is to make it a limited summer series that picks up once Agents of SHIELD ends in May. Agent Carter, Daredevil, and Jessica Jones all benefited enormously from shorter runs, and one arc, or a few short arcs, of hunting specific villains would suit the idea well.
Marvel's Most Wanted Pilot Episode
The plan appears to remain that the pilot will air as an episode of Agents of SHIELD and if response is positive enough, it’ll go to series next year. Although we’re kind of hoping Fitz gets his own series, considering what a badass he’s been this season. Come on, ABC, you’ve made him a Scottish Indiana Jones, that deserves some play.
