Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been off the air for a few years now, though it’s still widely discussed in some circles. The series is partly well known for allowing fans weekly visits into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in between the franchise’s big-screen installments. Though it drew from storylines initiated in the movies, it also established lore of its own, and that was nearly expanded upon through a spinoff series. S.H.I.E.L.D. was going to get a sister program called Marvel’s Most Wanted, though it didn’t pan out. With that, we’re going to discuss the story behind the project, including why it never made it to the small screen.
The spinoff centered on two characters from S.H.I.E.L.D. One of them was Bobbi Morse a.k.a. Mockingbird, who was played brilliantly by Adrienne Palicki. Alongside her would’ve been the character’s ex-husband, the droll mercenary Lance Hunter, portrayed by Nick Blood. Palicki and Blood had great chemistry and became fan-favorites on the parent show. So the notion of putting them at the forefront of their own series was wise (on paper). So what happened? Well, it’s time to discuss just that.
