ABC Orders Whedon's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." to Series

This Fall, Joss Whedon will once again have a series on network television. "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.LD." pilot was ordered by ABC last August, and now various sources including Entertainment Weekly, IGN and SitcomcsOnline are reporting that ABC has all but publicly confirmed the pilot has been picked up to series.

Directed by "The Avengers" helmer Whedon and co-written by Whedon along with "Dollhouse" veterans Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, the series spins out of the events of "The Avengers" and stars Clark Gregg, returning to his fan-favorite role as Agent Phil Coulson, and Marvel Universe newcomers Brett Dalton, Ming-Na-Wen, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge and Chloe Bennet.

Amidst the flurry of reports about the pickup, ABC also briefly released a 7-second teaser on the youtube page that was pulled soon after its release according to Slashfilm. The video features a rampaging Hulk caught on video, as well as a logo reading "Rising Tide." You can view the teaser embedded below.

I'm really excited about this. I am a marvel fan. But more than that, I am a Whedon fan. It seemed like a done deal a while back given, Avengers and ABC are all owned by Disney. But I'm excited. Whedon writes good superheroes. Buffy was always done very X-Men like (Dark Willow saga, Buffy SUMMERS, Whedon's production studio is mutant enemy). His run on astonishing X-men is one of my favorite work in comics period. I'm stoked.
