Back in October 2015, Marvel announced they were planning to adapt the comic book series "Damage Control" as a half-hour TV comedy set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since then, very little had been heard from the project, and many assumed it had been cancelled, with the conceptually similar "Powerless" from DC Comics set to beat it to the small screen this February. Well, a user on Reddit may just have uncovered the reason for the blackout on the Damage Control TV Show in a recently posted fan theory.



The user first notes the striking similarity between a photo of Tyne Daly in costume on the set of Spider-Man Homecoming and Anne Marie Hoag, the fictional director of "Damage Control Inc." in the comic book series.





(Tyne Daly was officially cast in Spider-Man Homecoming back in June, but like many cast members they have yet to reveal who she is playing)







Secondly, he notes that the man standing next to her (seemingly American actor Gary Weeks) is wearing a security badge bearing the initials "DODC", which he theorizes could stand for "Department of Damage Control".





(Set photo above, possible badge logo below incorporating the Damage Control icon)









Furthermore, he mentions that actor/stuntman Gregory French is currently listed on IMDB for the movie as "DODC Guard".











Obviously like all fan theories this could prove to be wildly off the mark, but if not, and these pieces of evidence do legitimately point towards the presence of Damage Control Inc. in the Spider-man Homecoming movie, then there are potentially a few explanations as to what became of the Damage Control TV Show...



1. They are planning to introduce Damage Control in the movies first, and then spin it off into its own TV show, but with an entirely new cast like they did with Agents of SHIELD.



2. They are planning to introduce Damage Control in the movies first, and then spin it off into its own TV show, whilst retaining the actors from the movie. After all, none of the aforementioned actors would seem to be too big for a half-hour TV comedy show.



3. The Damage Control TV show has been entirely scrapped as the movie division of Marvel wants to retain their use solely for the movie side of the business.



What do you think? Does his theory hold up? If so, which outcome do you think is most likely, or most desirable?
