ABC has placed a pilot order for a new Marvel series featuring Mockingbird, according to Variety.  As was the case with the Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff series on which development was ostensibly ended in May (see “ABC Puts Brakes on Mockingbird Spinoff”), the new series will feature Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi Morse (aka Mockingbird) and Nick Blood as Lance Hunter, two characters introduced on S.H.I.E.L.D.  Also like the series that ABC supposedly nixed, this one was created by Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. executive producer Jeffrey Bell and writer Paul Zbyszewski, who co-wrote the pilot and will serve as showrunners and executive producers. 

The difference?  This series is titled Marvel’s Most Wanted, and is “not a spinoff.”  Instead it’s described as a new show focused on the two characters and their story. 

If picked up, Marvel’s Most Wanted would be ABC’s third Marvel series, joining Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter, which were renewed for their third and second seasons, respectively.
