The Hulk and other Possible Marvel projects coming to TV screen?


Marvel Studios are working on future projects that could be on the tube in the next few years.
The Live Feed has the scoop:
Hulk is one of two projects that are priorities at Marvel Television, Marvel Studio’s TV division, which has been operating under the radar since Jeph Loeb took the reins at the end of June.
The second hot property is "Cloak and Dagger," which is being developed for ABC Family.


Both are in the early stages of development; Hulk has a “showrunner wanted” placard around its neck. ABC had no comment. Meanwhile, Loeb is meeting with writers to hear ideas for "Cloak and Dagger."
Marvel began narrowing it list of possible TV adaptations in May with a presentation on the Disney lot. 

Executives presented ABC suits with a list of titles they identified as possible series:
• "Heroes for Hire" (focusing on ex-con Luke Cage offering to take on bad guys for a price);
• "The Eternals" (a race of superpowered beings live amid humanity in secret, inspiring legends);
• "Agents of Atlas, Alter Ego" (private investigator Jessica Jones takes on cases involving superhumans);
• "Moon Knight, the Red Hood" (a low-rent criminal discovers a cloak that gives him superpowers);
• "Ka-Zar" (a Tarzan-type and his saber-toothed tiger must journey to the concrete jungle to seek justice);
• "Daughters of the Dragon" (a dynamic female duo, one with a bionic arm and the other a granddaughter of a samurai, open a private-detective agency); and
• "The Punisher" (one man wages a war on crime; already adapted as two feature films).
Looks promising, maybe a couple of these could be a hit
