Just as things were really getting interesting in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," the television side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe might be expanding to another show, as Adrianne Palicki's Marvel character, Barbara "Bobbi" Morse (codename Mockingbird), could be getting her own series.
This would technically be the second "Agents of S.H.I.E.LD." spinoff, after this year's first season of "Agent Carter," a prequel series set long before the agency was created, starring Hayley Atwell as Captain America's 1940s girlfriend Peggy Carter during post-war America; now, Adrianne Palicki's Marvel show could be getting added to the growing number of series set in the MCU, also including Netflix's spring release "Daredevil" and "A.K.A. Jessica Jones," set to premiere this fall.
According to IGN, ABC has officially made a pilot order surrounding Adrianne Palicki's Marvel character Mockingbird, which is just the first step of what could eventually turn into a show; in the past, it had been reported that there was a chance this happened, but I had been said ABC had scraped the project to keep Mockingbird in Phil Coulson's team (Clark Gregg), as the Joss Whedon-produced show has been struggling with ratings since its release.
Variety broke the exclusive story about Adrianne Palicki's Marvel pilot, and it will apparently be entitled "Marvel's Most Wanted," as it focuses on Mockingbird as well as Lance Hunter (Nick Blood), her former husband and on-and-off love interest - both characters were introduced to the MCU in the second season of the Gregg-led series.
Deadline reports that fans are divided on the possibility of a standalone Adrianne Palicki Marvel series, as it'd be taking two of the strongest characters of the past season, which could lead to a fairly bad place for the main series, only now finding a broader audience.
It appears like Marvel and ABC are also working on a potential new series with John Ridley, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of "12 Years a Slave."
Adrianne Palicki's Marvel pilot wouldn't be the first time she dips her toe into a superhero outfit, as she also starred in an NBC pilot of "Wonder Woman" in 2011, although that one wasn't picked up.
