Deadline is reporting the official news – ABC has picked up “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and will air a sneak peak this Sunday during the season finale of Once Upon a Time.

The official description of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”:
Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson’s team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker); brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet). From Executive Producers Joss Whedon (“Marvel’s The Avengers,” ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer”); Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen, “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” pilot co-writers (“Dollhouse,” “Dr.Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”); Jeffrey Bell (“Angel,” “Alias”); and Jeph Loeb (“Smallville”) comes Marvel’s first TV series. “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television.
I have been following the progress of this potential project and now (after having seen this image) why it is that there are no people of color on this team and why all of the agents (sans the lead) appear to be 22 or younger? WOW! The absence of dark–skinned characters of color in mainstream series has become so very obvious and seems deliberate.
I have read so many content regarding the blogger lovers except this
piece of writing is actually a nice article, keep it up.
