Marvel TV (News) - Most Wanted

With the announcement that The Punisher would be getting his own series on Netflix, the total number of projects in various stages of development from Marvel Television rose to eight. This doesn’t include the shows that have already debuted: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Carter, Daredevil, and Jessica Jones. That’s a rather impressive slate considering Marvel Television began releasing shows set within the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe only a few years ago when they launched S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC. Unfortunately, as it stands, while the Netflix shows have proven to be hits among both fans and critics, the ABC shows haven’t proven as popular.

Even with the steady ratings for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the decision to create a spin-off series – Marvel’s Most Wanted – seemed like an odd decision to many fans, especially as Adrianne Palicki‘s Bobbi Morse had easily become one of the best additions to the series.

As we near the finish line of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s third season, there hasn’t been any further news regarding the status of Most Wanted. So what’s going on with the show? And what about Damage Control, a series that was announced as being in developed shortly after Most Wanted?

Interestingly enough, while Damage Control received a put-pilot commitment, meaning ABC will have to pay a penalty if they don’t shoot & air a pilot, we have yet to hear anything else about that potential series. With Marvel’s Most Wanted, however, a series that will spin-off two characters first introduced on S.H.I.E.L.D. (Bobbi “Mockingbird” Morse & Lance Hunter), the pilot that was ordered has already been filmed and a good amount of castings have been announced. Other than that, Marvel & ABC have been rather mum concerning both projects.

This should change soon with ABC upfronts scheduled for May 17th. The folks over at Deadline have been tracking the response to various pilots over the course of pilot season and have said that Marvel’s Most Wanted looks like a “no-brainer” for a series pick-up. Unfortunately, with Damage Control not having filmed a pilot just yet, there’s still nothing to report on with that. Still, there’s a good chance that ABC could announce some news regarding that project during their upfront presentation.

With Marvel confirming the news via press release, Jeph Loeb had the following to say about the series.

We want to thank the fans who are clamoring for more of Jon’s stunning and powerful performance as Frank Castle from Marvel’s Daredevil. Now combined with Showrunner Steve Lightfoot’s compelling writing, we’re thrilled to bring Marvel’s The Punisher to Netflix.

Captain America: Civil War Grabs $200M in Overseas Box Office Debut

While fans in North America still have to wait five more days for Captain America: Civil War to hit theaters, the first Marvel Phase Three movie got off to an impressive start with its international box office debut. This highly-anticipated superhero adventure took in an impressive $200.2 million in 37 international markets this weekend, setting the stage for a massive debut in the U.S. Early box office tracking data suggests that Captain America: Civil War could take in anywhere between $175 million and $200 million in its opening weekend starting May 6.

Deadline reports that Captain America: Civil War's $200.2 million international debut is just under the $202 million earned last summer by Avengers: Age of Ultron, which went on to take in $459 million domestically and a record-breaking $946.4 million internationally, the highest ever for a superhero movie, for a worldwide total of $1.4 billion. This weekend's debut represented 63% of its international markets, with the movie opening in China, Russia, Italy and Argentina next week.

Captain America: Civil War (Concept Art)

It’s hard to believe that Captain America: Civil War is already rolling out in theaters, with the U.S. release now only a little over a week away. Us fans have spent much of the past year chasing over rumors, excitedly responding to the bouts of leaked concept art that teased Black Panther’s debut, and continually grew more curious with each and every new bit of information (some fact, most rumored) regarding Spider-Man. And while Marvel has done a rather great job at promoting the film thus far, briefly highlighting the Marvel Cinematic Universe debuts of Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland) in the trailers, as we move into the final week prior to release here in the U.S., we can expect them to kick the marketing into full swing – meaning: I’d suggest you avoid all new clips & TV spots until May 6th.

But! If you are avoiding the TV spots but still need to fill the Civil War void in your life, you are in luck thanks to come new concept art released by Marvel. The art features Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and War Machine (Don Cheadle) in their new costumes, each in the midst of a battle of some sorts. Check out the art below!

Too those wanting more of Spider-Man, then this TV spot was for you. As you can see in the video above, we get a chance to see his strength as he stops Bucky’s punch mid swing.
