Marvel's position on the small screen has seen quite a change over the last year or so, with the ending of its hit-and-miss deal with Netflix in favour of something new with Disney+.



The new, upcoming era of Marvel TV relies on a number of Disney+ exclusives, with the streaming service offering star-studded series including Loki, WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, and What If..?.

However, following the news that ABC's Marvel's Agents of SHIELD will be ending with season seven, it seems Marvel isn't ready to commit itself to Disney+ entirely.

Speaking to Deadline, the president of entertainment at the US network revealed that ABC is eyeing up talks with Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige over a brand new show, and is feeling optimistic about their future together.

"We love our partners at Marvel and we're sad to see [Marvel's Agents of SHIELD] go, it's been a big part of our history," Karey Burke explained.

"We're looking forward to working with Kevin Feige and we're at the very beginning of conversations with him now about what a Marvel and ABC show might look like," she added. "Right now, Marvel's focus has been on Disney+, as it should be."

This latest development comes just weeks after it was revealed that Marvel Studios would soon be winding up its televisual output, resulting in a number of reported job losses.

Disney+ is already available in the US, and will launch on March 31, 2020 in the UK.
