ABC Cancels AGENT CARTER, Passes on MARVEL'S MOST WANTED

There will be a few less agents on ABC next season.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed yesterday that ABC has canceled the Marvel Comics series Agent Carter after two seasons and did not pick up the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff series Marvel's Most Wanted.

Agent Carter, which starred Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, reprising her role from various Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, debuted on ABC in January 2015 with 6.91 million viewers but recently finished its second season with just 2.35 million.

Atwell has already landed the lead role in another possible new ABC series, Conviction, which seems likely for a series order.

Marvel's Most Wanted was ordered as a pilot by ABC and set around the characters Mockingbird/Bobbi Morse (Adrianne Palicki) and Lance Hunter (Nick Blood), who were written out of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. late in the show's third season.  The show's premise had the two on the run, trying to uncover a conspiracy against them without any help from S.H.I.E.L.D.  This would lead them to form an uneasy alliance with rogue adventurer Dominic Fortune (Delroy Lindo) and Fortune's niece Christina Santos (Fernanda Andrade) in order to survive.  Oded Fehr was also featured in the pilot as a "well-known character" from the comics, who exudes a "villainous charm" and is "a force to be reckoned with" for Morse and Hunter.

It's not known if Morse and Hunter will be written back into Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., or if the pilot will air as an episode of the show's upcoming fourth season.

AGENT CARTER Season 2 Big Bad is Madame Masque

One of Iron Man's enemies is going back in time.

Slashfilm revealed yesterday that the upcoming second season of ABC's Agent Carter will feature Marvel Comics supervillain Madame Masque as Peggy Carter's newest foe.

In a Q&A interview with Agent Carter executive producers Tara Butters and Chris Dingess during an ABC party for the Television Critics Association, Slashfilm asked them about Season 2, including how Madame Masque will be adapted for the series.  Here are their comments on the character:

Slashfilm: Are there any Marvel villains exclusively from the ‘40s you have access to?

Tara: Here’s the thing. It’s a little hard. In the comic books, a lot of the Marvel period, there are issue rights. Our villain from the season is very much a Marvel villain (Madame Masque) that we co-opted a little bit like we did Dr. Fennhoff (Dr. Faustus) in the first season.

Chris: It’s a ‘40s version of that villain.

Slashfilm: So you’ve adapted her back in time.

Tara: We’ve co-opted her.

Chris: We put our spin on her.

Slashfilm: What was modern about Madame Masque that just wouldn’t work in the ‘40s?

Tara: I think we’ve changed the look of her a bit obviously. We’ve made her an actress, which is very Hedy Lamarr. She was a ‘40s siren actress who was also a scientific genius, so that’s part of what we’re mining with this character.

Slashfilm: Have you cast her?

Tara: Yes, we have but we’re not allowed to announce it yet.

Slashfilm: Is it significant that the villain is a woman?

Tara: For me it is, because I feel like that is something that… as much as there are not enough female heroes just on television, I feel like having a female villain is just as equally powerful.

Chris: I also think because she’s a female villain, her story informs Peggy’s story in a unique way and vice versa.

Created in 1968 by Stan Lee and Gene Colan, Madame Masque first appeared in Tales of Suspense #98 as Whitney Frost, born as Giulietta Nefaria, the daughter of the master criminal Count Luchino Nefaria, in Rome, Italy.  Her mother died while giving birth and Luchino wanted his daughter to lead a respectable life, so he gave the child to Byron Frost, a wealthy financier and an employee of Nefaria, along with his wife Loretta.  Frost called the child Whitney and raised her as his own.  As a young adult, Whitney was a debutante and socialite who became engaged to politician Roger Vane.  When the Frosts died, Count Nefaria approached Whitney, revealing her true parentage and told her that he wanted her to take his place as leader of the Maggia, a Mafia-like organization based on the East Coast of the United States.  At first, Whitney refused, but when she told Roger about her father, he left her, afraid that her connections to a known criminal would hamper his political career.

Whitney accepted her father's offer to become a professional criminal mastermind and was trained by him in strategy, criminal activities, and combat.  She turned out to be a brilliant student and when her father was imprisoned, she became the new Big M, the leader of the Nefaria family in the Maggia.  Her role as Big M brought her into conflict with Iron Man, forcing Whitney to flee after a raid on his company, Stark Industries.  The plane she escaped in crashed and Whitney's face was scarred, but she was saved by the criminal Mordecai Midas and began working for him.  Midas was obsessed with gold, so Whitney hid her face behind a golden mask and began using the alias Madame Masque starting with Iron Man (vol.1) #17 in 1969.

This will be the first depiction of Madame Masque in live-action, although the character has appeared in animated form on the 1994 Iron Man animated series (voiced by Lisa Zane), and on Iron Man: Armored Adventures (voiced by Kristie Marsden).

Agent Carter is expected to return to ABC for Season 2 sometime around January 2016, during the midseason hiatus of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

AGENT CARTER Gets Season 2, AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Spinoff Dead

ABC has some good news and some bad news for Marvel Comics fans.

The good news is, according to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC has renewed Agent Carter for a second season and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for a third season, even though neither show is a ratings powerhouse.

Agent Carter, starrting Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, debuted earlier this year with an 8-episode series that averaged 5 million total viewers and a 1.8 in the demo and almost doubled its returns when factoring in seven days of DVR viewing.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. meanwhile, averaged a 1.5 rating among adults 18-49 for its second season.  The drama starring Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson and Ming-Na Wen as Melinda May is a reliable performer when adding DVR and grew to 7.3 million total viewers and a 2.8 in the demo.

And now the bad news...Deadline reports that the proposed Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff starring Adrianne Palicki as Mockingbird/Bobbi Morse and Nick Blood as Lance Hunter is not moving forward.  The project had been developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. executive producer Jeffrey Bell and co-executive producer Paul Zbyszewski.

As mentioned in the article, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fans were divided by the spinoff, with some backlash to the idea of taking some of the strongest new characters on S.H.I.E.L.D. away from the main series.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. should return to ABC in the fall, with Agent Carter presumably filling the show's winter hiatus in January 2016.

Marvel Gives AGENT CARTER Her First Two Assignments

If you're still reeling from the midseason finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and can't wait until the show returns in March 2015, don't worry -- Peggy Carter will keep things interesting.

Marvel has provided synopses for the first two episodes of their upcoming Agent Carter series on ABC starring Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, James D'Arcy as Edwin Jarvis, Chad Michael Murray as Agent Jack Thompson, Enver Gjokaj as Agent Daniel Sousa and Shea Whigham as Chief Roger Dooley.

Here are the mission briefs:

In the episode "Now is Not the End," Peggy is contacted by old acquaintance Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper, Marvel's "Captain America: The First Avenger") when he is framed for unleashing his deadliest weapons and can trust no one else. To help Peggy clear Stark's name, he insists his butler, Edwin Jarvis, be at her beck and call--whether she likes it or not. But the risk is great: If caught, Agent Carter could be targeted as a traitor and spend the rest of her days in prison...or worse.

Guest starring in "Now is Not the End" are Lyndsy Fonseca as Angie Martinelli, Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark, Andre Royo as Spider Raymond, James Hebert as green suit, Kyle Bornheimer as Agent Ray Krzeminiski, Ashley Hinshaw as Colleen O'Brien, Carrick O'Quinn as tall bouncer, James Frain as Leet Brannis, Tim True as tipsy guy, Johnny Marques as bartender, Jeffrey David Anderson as short bouncer, James Urbaniak as scientist, Bill Kalmenson as Senator Webster, Lesley Boone as Rose, Costa Ronin as Anton Vanko and Kevin Heffernan as Madison Avenue Guy.

"Now is Not the End" was written by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely and directed by Louis D'Esposito.

In the episode "Bridge and Tunnel," Howard Stark's deadliest weapon has fallen into enemy hands, and only Agent Carter can recover it. But can she do so before her undercover mission is discovered by SSR Chief Dooley and Agent Thompson?

Guest starring in "Bridge and Tunnel" are Lyndsy Fonseca as Angie Martinelli, James Herbert as green suit, Kyle Bornheimer as Agent Ray Krzeminiski, James Frain as Leet Brannis, Erin Torpey as Betty Carver (Radio Actor), Walker Roach as Captain America (Radio Actor), Greg Bryan as Daisy Clover Forman, Ray Wise as Hugh Jones, Meagan Fay as Miriam Fry, James Urbaniak as Miles Van Ert/White Haired Scientist, Devin Ratray as Sheldon McFee, Ralph Garman as Radio Announcer, Don Luce as Mob Boss, Jeff Locker as SSR Lab Tech, and Atticus Todd as Winston.

"Bridge and Tunnel" was written by Eric Pearson and directed by Joseph Russo.

Agent Carter begins with a two-hour series premiere on Tuesday, January 6th at 8:00 p.m. EST on ABC.
