i think it should be based around Maria Hill. She didn't get enough screen time in "The Avengers" in my opinion and she's not that big of a star that would turn down a starring TV role knowing she still will be in the movies. Get her off "How I Met Your Mother". She can be the day to day lead for S.H.I.E.L.D since you know we not going to see much of Nick Fury/SLJ on TV...

Fuk that maria bytch, center that shyt around Sam Jackson blowing terrorists up with a rocket launcher each episode with agent coulson as his sidekick. comedy + action = entertainment. I'd write this shyt better than Joss Whedon.

Not even going to get wet of this. It will be cancelled after 1 season.
If it does last it should be around the main shield characters. Nick, Black Widow, Hawk (Renner only) Coulson and Maria.

I agree
In a perfect world yes, but in reality no way you get SLJ/Scarlett/Renner on TV full-time and you don't want other actors playing Fury/Widow/Hawk. Their agents wouldn't let them do it nor would Marvel/Disney because it takes some shine off the movie franchise if you can see you those characters every week for free. Maria is the only semi-main character in the movie thats already on TV full-time. She would be the constant connection to the movie franchise then of course they could introduce other heroes on the TV show.

Joss Whedon Talks About His Marvel Contract and S.H.I.E.L.D. | Superhero Hype
Joss Whedon has a very full plate at the moment, and that plate is full of Marvel goodies. In an interview with Vulture, he talked about his experience with them and why he signed the exclusive three year deal and the origins of his recently announced S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show.
When asked about his contract, which covers The Avengers 2, the S.H.I.E.L.D. show, and creative input on the other films, he said, "I loved the idea of being a consigliere. Every writer loves the idea of being able to go in and fix a problem and then leave without obligation. It's fun! I also love these characters and the Marvel universe, and I grew up reading the books, and I've been going back and reading the old books and realizing that they shaped my storytelling way more than I give them credit for. Now I'm starting up a TV show, which is something I really wanted to do, but I thought it wasn't going to be a part of my life for the next several years. It's like a tapas menus of projects that excite me, in addition to the Avengers sequel, which I'm excited for because I'm incredibly excited about the next story that I'm going to tell. For me, it's a huge win.
"So, it's going to be an insane few years, but I feel ready for that. It's an unholy amount of productivity, but as long as I give it all I can, it's a good thing. What's great is that the deal with Marvel is nonspecific, so I will give all I can, but the moment I can't, I just walk away. The moment I say, 'You know, I'd like to help more on this project, but I need this time for The Avengers,' there's no obligation."
And when asked how he felt about working on a TV show with a huge promotional push, differing from his other shows, he laughed and said, "You know, I can't guarantee that any of that will happen! But so far, it feels just fine. The important thing to me is that we know what the show is. We love what it is. It came together very organically, so when we went in to pitch [to Marvel], it wasn't like, We're trying to find this because you want a TV show, it was, Check this out. And that's a good way to walk in a room.
"Good support is wonderful, but it's not a hill of beans, because they may give us all this support and then decide, 'Eh. Yeah, it's Friday.' They might give us all the support and then not do that, but then audiences might go, 'Yeahhh no.' You just can't be sure. What I do know is that it's the show it should be, and we've got some really dope notions. It's going to work very well for people who either love the Marvel universe or for people who've never dipped a toe in the Marvel universe."
The Avengers 2 has been set for May 1, 2015 and will be preceded by Iron Man 3 on May 3, 2013, Thor: The Dark World on November 8, 2013, Captain America: The Winter Soldier on April 4, 2014 and Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1, 2014.
