SDCC: Jeph Loeb Announces Marvel Television Development Slate

Marvel EVP/Head of Television Jeph Loeb appeared at Comic-Con to discuss and tease the audience regarding Marvel properties currently in development.

Currently Marvel produces the animated series The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, which is going into it’s second season.

As for what’s in development?

For ABC Television:

A.K.A. Jessica Jones
Based on Alias by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos. According to Loeb, it’s about a failed superhero. We obviously can’t call it Alias, thank you JJ Abrams. It will be following her loves and her life as she tries to put it together.  It will also feature Carol Danvers and Luke Cage.”

The Incredible Hulk
“This is a story that will focus on the early days of the Hulk when people didn’t know about his terrible secret and enormous power. We’ll be focusing on the love story between Bruce Banner and Betty Ross, how the two are brought together and continuously torn apart by the monster within.

For ABC Family:

Cloak and Dagger
Set in post-Katrina New Orleans, it’s about”two teenagers who discover each other and find their powers both complement and complicate their lives.” Like the comics, all of the television series “will be set in the real world: with the noteworthy change that there are people with superpowers.”

Mockingbird
It’s “Alias meets Felicity.” Bobbi Morse is a “Peter Parker nerd” a freshman at a Silicon Valley university, a science geek, “living life as a student by day and a spy-in-training at night” after being “recruited by “super spy organization in the Marvel Universe.”

Disney XD:

Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.
Animated series featuring Green Hulk, Red Hulk, Skaar, A-Bomb and She-Hulk.

The Avenger’s Earth’s Mightiest Heroes
The Season two premiere (which was screened at Comic-Con) features a guest appearance by the Fantastic Four to fight Doctor Doom. The Skrulls might be appearing and Captain America gets a new costume.

The second season will premiere sometime in October.

Astonishing X-Men
Not sure if this is for “motion comics” or for television, but plans are to adapt Whedon and Cassaday’s entire run on the series.
