Yes, you read that right. Yes, I am just as confused as you are.
Apparently, according to a report from the Hollywood Reporter, ABC and Marvel are planning to bring two shows to the air. The first will be a revival of the successful Hulk television show (assumedly sans Lou Ferigno), and the other will star Cloak and Dagger. Of all people to get their own show, Cloak and Dagger will apparently for ABC Family. Which is interesting on so many nerdy levels!
Apparently, head of Marvel’s TV division Jeph Loeb is meeting with a series of writers now for both shows, as they’re both in early development. But it goes greater than that. Marvel supposedly has a whole list of possible shows based on their properties, including:
– “Heroes for Hire” (focusing on ex-con Luke Cage offering to take on bad guys for a price);
– “The Eternals” (a race of superpowered beings live amid humanity in secret, inspiring legends);
– “Agents of Atlas, Alter Ego” (private investigator Jessica Jones takes on cases involving superhumans);
– “Moon Knight, the Red Hood” (a low-rent criminal discovers a cloak that gives him superpowers);
– “Ka-Zar” (a Tarzan-type and his saber-toothed tiger must journey to the concrete jungle to seek justice);
– “Daughters of the Dragon” (a dynamic female duo, one with a bionic arm and the other a granddaughter of a samurai, open a private-detective agency); and
– “The Punisher” (one man wages a war on crime; already adapted as two feature films).
A Moon Knight show?? A Heroes For Hire show? Jessica Jones, the TV series?!
Now, the Hulk really isn’t a surprise here. Loeb obviously loves the Hulk, or at least he loves working with the character. However, where this ends up going from here is still a mystery, and we shouldn’t expect to see any TV shows any time soon.
