Character Descriptions For New "S.H.I.E.L.D" TV Series!

Finally the character descriptions for the new live-action "S.H.I.E.L.D" TV show have been released online,

SKYE

This late-20s woman sounds like a dream: fun, smart, caring and confident – with an ability to get the upper hand by using her wit and charm.

AGENT GRANT WARD

Quite the physical specimen and “cool under fire,” he sometimes botches interpersonal relations. He’s a quiet one with a bit of a temper, but he’s the kind of guy that grows on you.

AGENT ALTHEA RICE

Also known as “The Calvary,” this hard-core soldier has crazy  skills when it comes to weapons and being a pilot. But her experiences have left her very quiet and a little damaged.

AGENT LEO FITZ and AGENT JEMMA SIMMONS

These two came through training together and still choose to spend most of their time in each other’s company. Their sibling-like relationship is reinforced by their shared nerd tendencies – she deals with biology and chemistry, he’s a whiz at the technical side of weaponry.

Joss Whedon Discusses "S.H.I.E.L.D: TV Series"

A month or so back it was confirmed that a new TV spin-off to the BIG-screen "Avengers" film was in the works with Joss Whedon attached to helm the pilot episode. It was then confirmed that the untitled TV show would be a S.H.I.E.L.D based live-action series that would be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Whedon was then confirmed to be directing the first episode and stay on as a potential producer or like Nolan to the new "Superman" film...........A GODFATHER TO THE SHOW!!!
Now Joss Whedon has came out and discussed details on this new series. Here's what he said, 

“It's trucking right along. I’m writing it with Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, my brother and sister-in-law who worked on “Dollhouse” with me. And we’re planning to shoot it just as soon as we can get it up and running. It’s an ensemble show, so we’ve gotta find the right cast. We found a way to structure it so that what we’re dealing with are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who are the humans in a superhero world and how they deal with that and how it makes them vulnerable.”

And here's what he said about the show characters being brand-new and will not feature any of the BIG-screen superheroes,
  

   “It's trucking right along. I’m writing it with Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, my brother and sister-in-law who worked on “Dollhouse” with me. And we’re planning to shoot it just as soon as we can get it up and running. It’s an ensemble show, so we’ve gotta find the right cast. We found a way to structure it so that what we’re dealing with are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who are the humans in a superhero world and how they deal with that and how it makes them vulnerable.”

Even though Whedon has said that the show will feature whole set of new characters, it's still be strongly rumored that Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson will pop up in either flash back sequences or that the show may be a prequel to the whole MCU. It's also been rumored that the cast from Marvel's short film "ITEM 47" will pop up to in some sort of a way.
