Season 3 of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD saw two main characters leave the show. The plan was for Marvel Studios and ABC to spin them off into their own television show called Marvel’s Most Wanted , but it was not meant to be as the pilot was not picked up by ABC.
Fans of Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter on Agents of SHIELD were not happy with the decision, especially since they were not given an explanation why the series did not get picked up. But now we finally learned why Most Wanted did not move forward:
Via /Film, ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey spoke about Marvel’s Most Wanted at this year’s TCA.
“Most Wanted , ultimately at the end of the day, did not feel as strong as some of the other pilots that we shot. We talked about it with Marvel and we all came to an agreement that we want to figure out what the next show is that we do together, is something that we all feel is as creatively strong as it can be.”
Dungey did give a glimmer of hope that Marvel’s Most Wanted could still happen if they shop the show to another network, however.
“It was a joint partnership between Marvel and ABC Studios,” Dungey said. “We certainly are open if they were to find another home for it to have that happen.”
What this means for the fourth season of SHIELD is unknown. Will we get Hunter and Bobbi back? We’ll see when SHIELD returns this Fall.
