Disney Has 3 Live-Action Marvel TV Series coming around the bend


Disney/Marvel are moving forward with TV projects, showcasing some of our favorite heroes. In the Wall Street Journal, Disney CEO Robert Iger reveals a little bit of info:
WSJ: In the past year-plus you've made two splashy acquisitions: Marvel and Playdom. How are the integrations of those two companies progressing?
Mr. Iger: [With Marvel] we've taken back distribution, or bought back distribution from [Viacom Inc.'s] Paramount, for some critical franchises. Notably, "Iron Man 3" will be distributed by us, and "Avengers." We're developing three live-action series for ABC and ABC Family. You can buy Marvel products at Disney stores. And we're working on Marvel games. 
3 live action series? I wonder which Marvel heroes will be gracing the TV screen in upcoming Fall season?

FYI, the pic above is Cloak and Dagger, a Marvel comic that may be ABC Family's next TV show.

You know I would LOVE a Cloak and Dagger show. I wonder if they'll keep the whole drug angle, since that whole thing is kinda eighties.(kinda New Jack City or Halle and Sam in Jungle Fever)

Hmm, how about "SHIELD Academy?"
