SHIELD – Full Trailer
ABC Studios’ new Marvel show coming this fall, set after The Avengers follows the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Fan favorite Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) who was killed by Loki in The Avengers turns up proving that hashtag campaigns such as #CoulsonLives have super powers of their own.
Coulson 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).
With Joss Whedon at the helm and writers from Dollhouse, Alias, Smallville and Angel on board, I think this is going to be a huge hit – and ABC is the right home for this. Check out the full 3-minute trailer:
An incredible 11-part series of books, known as the Barsoom, was written during the first half of last century by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Before going any further I want to state that these books are a must read! The books are, without a doubt, brilliantly crafted classics. Last year (2011) an underwhelming movie was created focusing on the protagonist of these stories, John Carter. Disney, the creator of the $200-million flop more than recovered their lost finances with success of The Avengers.
