Marvel’s Damage Control Coming To TV From Former Daily Show Scribe

ABC has ordered a script for a half-hour, single-camera comedy from the Avengers studio, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The series description details a few of the crew’s duties as returning a lost ray gun, rescheduling a wedding after its venue was vaporized, or tracking down a prized parrot that’s been turned to stone.

Deadline reports ABC has put in for a put pilot committment (which generally means a guaranteed series) for Damage Control. However, the Manhattan based engineering and construction company, Damage Control, are here to clean up the mess and rebuild the property to the way it was.

Karlin will develop and executive produce the project with “Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s” David Miner and Marvel’s head of television, Jeph Loeb. Considering the amount of superhuman battles there are, and with virtually no competition, Damage Control is a definite money maker.

It’s certainly an interesting concept, but how well Damage Control will work is ultimately going to come down to how much it ties into the MCU.

Marvel has been leaving their unique mark on television in recent years, from telling spy adventures through Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter on ABC to spotlighting their street level heroes on Netflix.

Worth noting that Disney/Marvel did say that we should expect the Marvel universe of comics and characters to be exploited on all platforms – TV, Film, web/streaming, etc. So this is just another project that falls underneath that umbrella.
