    We've talked about the upcoming S.H.I.E.L.D. television show a little bit back in August, and earlier today we caught wind of some more information. Rumor has it that S.H.I.E.L.D., the upcoming television series that will be produced by The Avengers director Joss Whedon will begin filming very soon -- as in this coming January. While no official announcement about the start of production has been made, an open casting call was recently posted on Television Show Auditions for actors looking to get a spot on the upcoming series. The show will be an off-shoot of The Avengers movie and the Marvel movie universe, but will not be directly associated with the films which means that if you have not seen The Avengers (and shame on you, if you haven't) you won't be lost when you watch this upcoming show.

    No Caption Provided

    "'S.H.I.E.L.D.' will be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sharing constancy with the films in that franchise,” the listing reads. "'S.H.I.E.L.D.' will be independent from 'The Avengers' film, and people who haven’t seen the Marvel movies can jump right in and understand the storylines. There will generally be new characters and agents who are not superheroes, and even though they are a large organization, they will be underdogs since they still exist in that superhero universe. Clark Gregg is playing Agent Phil Coulson, the same role he has played in 'Iron Man' I & II, 'Thor,' and 'The Avengers.' The series will center on his character. Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee Ming-Na Wen has been cast as Agent Melinda May, an ace pilot and weapons expert."

    There was some speculation about whether actor Clark Gregg, who played Agent Phil Coulson would appear in the upcoming show and it seems, based on the information that's been leaked that the series will be centered around his character. This is great news for those that were unhappy with the ending of The Avengers (don't worry, we won't spoil it here).

    What do you think of ABC and Marvel Studios' decision to create a S.H.I.E.L.D. television show and is it something you are looking forward to watching? Let us know in the comments, below.

    I can't wait for this. Unfortunately, I'm probably going to have to wait longer for it because I live in Britain.

    I can't wait for the show.
     
    What I'm most curious about is how they're going to explain Clark Gregg's involvement. Is it a Life Model Decoy? Does it take place before the Avengers? Did he not actually die and Fury just faked his death? I must know!!!!!!!!!!

    As long as it has Coulson it should be pretty awesome. An LMD is a pretty easy way to explain why he's still around.

    One thing that would be cool is if the series was used as a way to get exclusive teasers and clips (as SHIELD files of course) out to the public. A cross promotional series.

    It's going to be Coulson's son, from a one night stand he had a few years back. He'll be black and probably have an eye patch, cause...eye patches are cool, right?

    I'm supposing this has to be prior to the first Iron Man movie in terms of chronology. I'm excited for this show one way or another...go Coulson!

    It better be better than Arrow. Arrow's good, but kinda corny, so hopefully this will be done with less DRAMA~. I'm extremely excited for this show.

    I hope so. Then again, the new series of Big Bang Theory still hasn't come out here and its been out for weeks in the US.

    I'm stoked to see how this comes together! It would be great if they could throw little easter eggs in the show to attach it to the movies. Nothing too extravagant, just something like Agent Coulson is seen trying to put his Captain America Trading Card Collection together. (Using SHIELD resources when necessary of course).

    Joss whedon returning to tv is exciting enough....But a SHIELD series!? YES.

    Also isn't Ming-Na Wen a little old? Nevertheless, a female poc is always good :) I hope more cast is announced soon (Contessa? Dum Dum Dugan?)
