Marvel's superheroic universe just keeps getting more crowded. Entertainment Weekly reports that Marvel is in the process of developing a spin-off of ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Few details about the spin-off are currently known, but upcoming episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will reportedly lay the groundwork for the series — and by the end of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s second season, it should be clear what the spin-off would be about. Ongoing subplots that could hypothetically lead to a new series include the super-powered Inhumans and a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, led by Edward James Olmos and calling themselves "the real S.H.I.E.L.D.," who have pitted themselves against Agent Coulson and his team.
