Joss Whedon has spoken with TV Line about how S.H.I.E.L.D the TV series is progressing.
Filming on the pilot, directed by the Avengers helmer, wrapped recently.
Asked about how the show stands out in a network television landscape filled with grim violence, he said: “I’m excited about the show because it’s a very hopeful show. It’s not about murder, and it’s not about crime, and it’s not people looking into their own belly buttons.
“It’s about people who are trying to help each other, and that’s one of the things I loved about comic books. They had costumes and the villains were cool [but] they stood for something, and I like doing a show that does that.”
Whedon went on to say that fans shouldn’t expect many familiar faces from the Marvel universe to pop up, but did admit that “there’s a little bit of talk of that” as the series goes on.
“Right now, I want to involve people in the characters that we’ve created for the show,” he continued, “and then we’ll worry about [the other stuff].”

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
