ABC has set a premiere date for "Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD."Image: Bob D'Amico ABC has set its fall premiere dates. The season start dates for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Scandal, Once Upon a Time and more have been to Mashable’s TV calendar (below). As previously announced, the new season of Once Upon a Time (premiering Sept. 28) will feature characters from hit Disney cartoon, Frozen, played by Fringe alum Scott Michael Foster and Lost alum Elizabeth Mitchell. And though some fans responded to the move with cries of “too soon,” ABC president Paul Lee defended it, assuring critics during the Television Critics Association Press Tour on Tuesday that creators Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis “always have a twist on a story so you can imagine their take is going to be very different.” Meanwhile, on S.H.I.E.L.D., premiering Sept. 23, Lee said he couldn’t go into specifics about how upcoming Marvel movies would influence Season 2’s storylines, but said the aftermath from Season 1’s Captain America weave-in will continue to be felt. “We had such a strong set of stories that put us through that huge finale at the end. That trigged up a whole lot of storylines that we’re reading at the moment and I’m loving those scripts,” he said.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron marks the fourth time Chris Hemsworth will play Thor in the Avengers franchise.Image: Marvel Studios Avengers 2: Age of Ultron is currently filming at the UEA Campus Norwich in England, and we have the only video from the set. It’s a Cinema Blend exclusive. Watch as Joss Whedon films an entire scene with Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, right here… It’s no secret that after the events of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Captain America: The Winter Soldier that there are a LOT of job openings for recruits in the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. We still haven’t seen the impact events of The Avengers made on Tony Stark’s shiny new office tower. You know, the one he finished just in time to witness the Chitauri invasion? Well, if you have the same questions we do, then this video may offer a few clues. In the video, we see a bunch of what looks like recruits jogging on top of or around what could be part of the recently renovated Avengers Tower. Considering the last thing we see at the end of The Avengers is Tony Stark already drawing up plans for a newly designed headquarters, and the fact that we saw the tower’s re-branding confirmed thanks to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, we know that Avengers Tower is being used for something other than Tony Stark’s personal playground in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron. Perhaps it’s training the next generation of badasses. Image: Cinema Blend Given that Director Phil Coulson is now in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he looks up to (who else) Steve Rogers/Captain America, I’d be willing to bet that these are new S.H.I.E.L.D recruits training up as the first class since the H.Y.D.R.A made their lives a living hell. Keeping this in mind, it would also be a safe assumption that the new uniforms are a stylish blue in tribute to the first Avenger himself. Also, it’s a nice change from the simple black uniforms everyone wore, and considering Tony Stark is kind of fond of blue from his arc reactor days, the decision was probably a mutual one. Let’s just hope Clark Gregg gets that phone call for an extended cameo in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, because a reunion between Tony and Phil would be one of those moments that’d easily make any top 10 moments of summer 2015 list. Speaking of the friends of Phil, why is Thor calling down the lightning on set? Image: Cinema Blend When you consider how the events of Thor: The Dark World panned out, maybe this this time out Thor’s a reluctant warrior. After all, he’s just given up the throne of Asgard and started to settle down in England with Jane Foster. Since his favorite travel method is throwing Mjolnir into the sky and taking off for parts unknown, he’s probably been summoned to talk with Tony and Steve, […]
