Subj: Since Disney owns both that television network and Marvel...

Reply Subj: I think the might of the Disney marketing brand may be telling.

    No real details on this yet, so no idea if they're going to find another big guy to paint green or try to do Hulk CGI on a television budget.



    Quote:
    Cloak and Dagger looks to be planned as an ABC family series.



    Quote:
    The Punisher is mentioned as a possible cable show in the future.



    Quote:
    Most interesting, to me, was the list of properties that Marvel apparently pitched to ABC executives, including:



    Quote:
    The Eternals
    Heroes For Hire
    Agents of Atlas
    The Hood
    Ka-Zar
    Moon Knight
    Daughters of the Dragon
    Alter Ego (apparently Jessica Jones' "Alias", but the Jennifer Garner series already used the name.)



    Quote:
    Cloak and Dagger wasn't on the list, but it's one that actually is going forward. Personally, I would have been excited by the Eternals (described as "a race of superpowered beings live amid humanity in secret, inspiring legends")... but then I'll wait and see how well they do bringing these shows to the screen before I wish it on any properties I like.

I suppose it's only natural that they'd cram the two together and see how much of the billions that they paid for Marvel they can make back.

Honestly, rather than jumping right into ongoing shows, I think they should consider the miniseries route. I suppose elaborate miniseries with big special effects might not be the rage that they once were, but it seems likely that, if they picked the right project, they could get some good video sales in addition to whatever ratings they pulled in. Then, if it's a hit, they can launch it as a full series... or just do a completely different miniseries for the next year.
