ABC and Marvel are looking to create an Avengers-themed TV series

Last week, there were rumors that ABC and Marvel (both Disney companies) were getting together to talk about some sort of superhero TV series. And now it looks like that series will be based on or themed around the Avengers.

I hear that the connection to the Avengers franchise would be light as the project is expected to be set in the universe and feature some of its themes and feel, but may not include any characters from Joss Whedon’s blockbuster. I hear the project is in a nascent stage, described as “a kernel of an idea,” with a number of scenarios being explored, including a high-concept cop show. Marvel has already given the Avengers the animated treatment with Disney XD’s The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and the upcoming Avengers Assemble.
