Did I mention Deathlok? Because if I didn't, it should totally include Deathlok.

I'd call it Marvel's Agents of We Happily Endorse Director's Obvious Narcissism.

I wish they'd make a Runaways tv show.

My other thoughts are that it could "agents of the other shield", but that seems kind of repetitive, or all of the Inhumans, but that seems like it might step on the toes of the upcoming movie.

A Deathok/ Mockingbird series as kinda a Secret Avengers type show would be very fun(and a good way of featuring some of the other gifted characters out there.)
A Ward spin-off would certainly be interesting...although I would wonder what the hook would be for a weekly series.

I'd think Mockingbird could do that - a more solo/spy oriented show (I don't think Coulson's easily taking her back into the fold) that plays in same MCU, but allows AoS to continue to become more engaged with the "big picture" superhero stuff. I thought Agent Carter did that counterpoint really well (Hopeful that the "60% chance" on that item comes to fruition)
There's no way I see Ward as a spinoff - he is after all an unrepentant sociopath. While his arc could wrap this season I could also see him morphing into the kind of chronic nemesis who is constantly intersecting with our heroes for good or bad from season to season

ETA: Or a show from the POV of the Inhumans as they go through the mist and learning how to use their powers, etc.

I do feel like the writing is still a bit shakey so I'm hoping a whole new team is brought on for a spinoff.
I'm surprised as I didn't think the show had the ratings to warrant the idea of a spinoff. But everything is changing fast with networks. I'm guessing this means S.H.I.E.L.D. is renewed and that's comforting.
I guess we are waiting until May to hear about Agent Carter? I love that show and am still concerned.

As I said at this time last year, S3 of AoS is a given and that makes S4 a given as well. It would be great, in light of all this, if people would stop worrying about it now. And yes, I realize I am spitting in the wind asking fans to not worry about cancellation of their favorite show. I can still ask. :)
It's a whole new world and ratings is only one tiny bit of the puzzle especially with Marvel and DC properties.

I don't think a Mockingbird spinoff would include any of the other AoS characters, except maybe Mack. There might be occasional crossovers. I expect the whole "realSHIELD" storyline will be wrapped up by the end of this season, and they wouldn't be a central factor in the new show.

Fran tweeted on September 24th "Mockingbird. Robbie Baldwin. Shield. Soon.". That tweet was then deleted later that day. This is big because Robbie Baldwin aka Speedball played a key role in Civil War. From Marvel's Wikia: The New Warriors (which Baldwin/Speedball was a member of) attempted to apprehend a group of supervillains in Stamford, Connecticut for their television reality show. Nitro, one of the criminals, created an explosive blast that killed 612 civilians, including 60 children, as well as the New Warriors with the exception of Baldwin. This event triggered the push for superhero registration at the heart of the superhuman Civil War. Baldwin was presumed dead after the incident, but he was found alive after the blast launched him over 500 miles. Baldwin's kinetic field kept him alive, but it "burned out" as a result.
After awakening from a coma, Baldwin was arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D. and placed in federal prison. After he discovered his powers were still functional, Baldwin was taken to the new penitentiary called Negative Zone Prison Alpha. Reed Richards, the facility's creator, offered Baldwin the chance to testify before the U.S. Congress. On the Capitol steps, Baldwin was shot by an assailant and taken away in an ambulance. Baldwin recovered from the wound, and Richards determined that Baldwin's powers were evolving. Baldwin thwarted an escape from the prison and said that he would comply with the Superhuman Registration Act.
Baldwin ordered a new suit of armor that featured 612 internal spikes that caused him constant pain, symbolic of the 612 deaths he felt responsible for. Sixty of these spikes actually broke his skin, these sixty spikes are symbolic of the sixty children that died in Nitro's explosion. He joined the newest incarnation of the Thunderbolts...hunting down unregistered superhumans during Civil War".
If Agents of SHIELD is a semi-adaptation of Secret Warriors, then this spin-off that Jeffrey and Paul are overseeing just might be called Thunderbolts! And I could easily see Mockingbird, Deathlok and Ward as main characters on that series. I'm so freakin' excited if that's the case.

I think Luke Mitchell is going to be a major recurring character, but not in the spinoff.

I totally agree with swanjun, however, that the appearance of Fran Kranz would kill me with squee.
Would understand better if we were talking about another mid-season miniseries (although I want Agent Carter back). But a "full" spinoff feels like overkill.
[Edited to add that I would be delighted to be proved wrong!]

If ABC/Marvel/Disney can get 2 engaging shows going it will lift all boats. The crossover potential between Agent Carter and AoS is pretty limited and the crossover potential of either show to the Netflix shows is almost nonexistent in a meaningful (not just easter egg-y) way.

Don't really think 8 episodes a year of Agent Carter is that much of an investment or risk. There are no helicarriers or quinjets or transforming aliens to deal with... just people on a 1940's backlot set with some cool props.
AndrewCrossett | April 09, 16:36 CET
anyway the obvious choice is to have Agent Carter, Simmons, Lady Silf, and Zola drive around in a van a solve mysteries!
Grack21 | April 09, 16:39 CET
But as long as we get a second season of Agent Carter, I think a Mockingbird show could be fantastic. I like her character, but it seems like there's limited room for her to develop in the current show--there are already so many other characters and plotlines. I could see Bobbi/Mockingbird working really well as someone off on her own, infiltrating evil organizations, beating up villains of the week, etc. I'd love to see her as the lead on a show--both the character and the actor have tons of potential.

"Dr. Zola... will you give us the secret formula if we give you a Zola Snack? How about two Zola Snacks?"
Anyway, what did the evil Zola do to deserve being put in a van with three hot brunettes with sexy accents? Two of them genuine!

QingTing | April 10, 05:22 CET
I can see Simmons and Cal in the back discussing the molecular structure of super power genes, while Agent Carter rides shot gun trying to find decent music on the radio and Lady Sif drives, cuz she's definitely driving even if she doesn't know how.
But Zola can be there instead of Cal as I'm not one to force my story opinions on a creator. :-)
Can someone write this please?

Ha ha! @AndrewCrossett What if she came across "Push it" and Simmons starts singing it in the back? Road trip fictions are the best.

leaving AoS for an 8-9 week show so common sense says this is a full 22 episode show. Well that is unless of course they are leaving
no matter what. I could see Brett Dalton's character doing this but I doubt he could carry a show at this time.
JDL | April 10, 11:00 CET
And I'll watch every good comic book based show they put on TV so the more the merrier!
I'm currently watching Arrow, Flash, Gotham, iZombie and Daredevil. Watched Constantine (mostly, it didn't hold up), Walking Dead, and Agent Carter. Can't wait for Supergirl, the Flash/Arrow spin-off, The Walking Dead spin-off, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and whatever else Marvel wants to throw at me. Less cop shows, more comic book shows please!
