ABC has already picked up the show and Joss Whedon has also teamed up with his brother Jed Whedon to develop the pilot for the show. Whedon says that this show got nothing to do with Avengers' story. Instead it will be autonomous.
This is probably the coolest news I heard on upcoming TV shows. I think this show will definitely be as good as Smallville or maybe better. Will this show feature Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury? What could the story hold to surprise us? It might also feature some superheroes as well. I guess we will have to wait a while to find everything out.
