Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. could foreshadow Marvel movies, says Joss Whedon
7 hours ago
Joss Whedon has revealed that his new TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be closely linked to Marvel's movies.
The upcoming ABC drama could contain hints about what to expect from the comic company's big-screen blockbusters, Whedon told TV Fanatic.
"We're absolutely on top of all the movies," he said. "We never contradict [or] replicate - we will be flowing in between them, maybe occasionally we'll throw something in that foreshadows [or] echoes, but we're very much beholden to the Marvel cinematic universe."
ABC president Paul Lee has claimed that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is "driven by character" and has "relationships at the heart of it".
"Everything has to push character forward, including action," Whedon affirmed. "We don't want 'spectacle' characters, we want... spectacle that addresses character. We always want the two to mix."
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will air on Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC this fall.

Days after a $1 million jewellery heist in the South of France, China Film Group vice president Zhang Qiang has had all of his luggage stolen from his rented Cote d'Azur apartment.

Gillian Anderson expects 'X-Files 3' movie: 'There's a very good chance'
9 hours ago
Gillian Anderson has said that she expects an X-Files 3 movie.
The actress said that she thinks that creator Chris Carter might already be working on a new script during her Reddit Ask Me Anything interview.
"I would say that there is a very good chance that Chris is in the process of writing it, and as with any creative endeavour, it needs time and space and patience, and I have no doubt that at some point, when it's the right time, and he is happy with it, it will see the light of day, and that will be the beginning," she said.
Anderson returned to the role of Dana Scully alongside David Duchovny in 2008's The X-Files: I Want to Believe, the second movie based on the cult television show.
When the X-Files show ended in 2002 after nine seasons, Carter promised that it would continue in a series of films. »

Blue Sky Studios may be plucky underdogs when measured next to the brilliance of Pixar, but their ongoing Ice Age series and 2011's Rio show they know a thing or two about putting together bright and buoyant animated adventures.
Their latest offering Epic takes inspiration from William Joyce's book The Leaf Men and the Grave Good Bugs, bringing to life a miniature forest world populated by warriors riding atop hummingbirds, an evil tribe of Boggans led by Mandrake (Christoph Waltz) and a Mother Nature ruler called Queen Tara (voiced by Beyoncé).
There's a human component to the story, too, with Amanda Seyfried providing the viewer entry point as teen Mary Katherine (she prefers to go by Mk). The death of Mk's mother »
