Of course, Whedon will be back in front of fans on a weekly basis to some extent if Disney-owned ABC decides to pick up Disney-owned Marvel Studios first ever TV series, S.H.I.E.L.D., which will chronicle the adventures of agents that serve the secret spy agency that polices Marvels dangerous, strange world. In fact, one factor slowing the development of a Dr. Horrible sequel is the fact that two of Whedons key collaborators brother Jed and Tancharoen are working with him on S.H.I.E.L.D. Should the show go to series, the couple (who are married) will serve as day-to-day showrunners with another friend/associate, Jeffrey Bell (Angel). Says Whedon: One of the great things about having worked for so damn long is that there are so many people that I truly trust. He says he will work on the ongoing series as my schedule allows, helping the team brainstorm stories in addition to the usual exec producer/overseer stuff of reviewing and approving cuts of episodes. I have to maintain a fine balance between not hurting The Avengers, which is my number one priority right now, and not be the guy who shows up once a month and undoes everything thats been done by everyone else. Sometimes, that can happen unintentionally, by dint of Joss being Joss. He elaborates by telling a story from the show that made him a pop culture heavyweight. Back when I was doing Buffy, I made a joke once. I said, Were going to do leprechauns! Its going to be the best episode ever! And Marti Noxon, who just started as a staff writer, came back three days later and said, I spent three days doing research on leprechauns. And I was like: What the f are you talking about?
) as a vigilante and Luke Cage/Iron Fist as private investigators. Obviously their escapades overlapped by both day and night. The workaday lives provided plenty of filler between the action scenes (a lot of talking lol) and the costumes weren't by any means dazzling. But the dynamic seemed sound.
