Covert Affairs favorite Oded Fehr is spying a very juicy new role, on ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff pilot.
TVLine has learned that Fehr has boarded Marvel’s Most Wanted as “a well-known character from the Marvel comics who will prove a force to be reckoned with” for former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter (played by Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood).
Additionally, Fernanda Andrade (RedWidow) has been cast as Christina Santos, the tough-as-nails niece of Dominic Fortune (played by Delroy Lindo). Fortune and Santos work side-by-side appearing to help Bobbi and Hunter while also pursuing their own agenda. Word of the castings first appeared on SpoilerTV.
In the potential S.H.I.E.L.D. offshoot, Bobbi (aka Mockingbird) and ex-husband Lance are on the run with no friends, no S.H.I.E.L.D. and a long list of enemies looking to claim a bounty on their heads. Able to trust no one but each other, Bobbi and Hunter form an uneasy alliance with Dominic Fortune, a rogue adventurer with a wealth of resources and even more adversaries, who agrees to protect them so long as they help him with his own agenda. While on dangerous missions that take them to every corner of the globe, the two heroes will help anyone in need, all while trying to uncover the conspiracy that put their own lives in jeopardy.
It seems as if we probably won't get to see that MARVEL'S MOST WANTED tv show after all. The Hollywood Report has revealed that the show is cooling very fast behind the scenes at ABC, as the interest that it once held is rapidly drying away. But that isn't the only marvel tv show that ABC may have to let go of, asAGENT CARTER is also starting to sink.
Hayley Atwell is currently set to star in a new show on ABC titled CONVICTION, so her focus is tied up with that and probably won't help or allow her to juggle another tv show. Chances are AGENT CARTER is going to quietly die in a corner and ABC will do all that they can for viewers to pay it no mind. But that all could change, as the show has a very loyal and strong fanbase that will hopefully do what they can to let it keep on living.
All of this news does show us that Marvel may be slowly pulling away from the standard cable television format and just put all of their shows on streaming services ala Netflix. For example, there's an upcoming CLOAK & DAGGER series being made, I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel were to pull that one from the tv and put it up on Netflix. That's just simply speculation on my part, but my point still stands. Marvel knows they have struck gold countless times on Netflix, and they'll probably continue to do so.
They got booted off the show for nothing
They got rid of two brothers and Mack's the ONLY agent that hasn't smashed anything yet so it's poetic justice.
