Marvel Rumour: Jimmy Woo Spin-Off Was Trending And Now Pitch Is Happening (X-Files Meets Marvel)

[Star-Lord]

So backstory:
A few days ago people started watching Wandavision and saw Jimmy Woo in it and this led to a petition on twitter of making a marvel show where he travels around the Marvel earth solving mysteries. Well I guess it got notice from Marvel/ Disney and now pitches are underway.

 

[MinerArcaniner]

I would love this.

 

[Aloysius]

Sounds fun. People who are interested in this should check out Agents of Shield. That's pretty much what that show is.

 

[Firima]

Get Lizzy Caplan on this to reprise her potential SHIELD role plsssssssss

 

[kmfdmpig]

My daughter and I are watching Fresh off the Boat and keeping up with WandaVision, so we'd both love this.

 

[sredgrin]

I dunno, sounds like a guy that's maybe self promoting and stuff.

I really doubt Disney / marvel, with how secretive they are, is okay with someone openly talking about pitching them shows.

 

[Rob]

Yes! Just give Randall Park someone to play off of and I'm in.

 

[Lump]

Basically Disney+, can't stop the flood.

Darcy

 

[BigDes]

Maybe give him a group of dysfunctional 50s style pulp heroes to command and call it something like Agents of Atlas.

Right? A guy whose biggest gig was a guest stint on Teen Wolf and is 3 years removed from his last acting role who had a viral tweet? Just seems like wishful thinking.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Him and Darcy on the road solving cases....


Yeah, I'm in!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Yes, please! Randall Park is great as Jimmy Woo.

 

[H.Cornerstone]

... That was pretty much what the first season of AoS shield was.

 

[Rats]

I love Park in everything I've seen him in and I wish him all the success he can handle. Please make this happen.

 

[TaterTots]

I love X-Files so I'll take anything like it, but I'm not getting my hopes up with that guy pitching it. Disney will probably take the idea and give it to someone else lol.

 

[TitlePending]

Randal Park getting a spin off makes me almost as happy as seeing Appa from Kim's Convenience as a X-Wing pilot in terms of Asian representation in non-typical roles.

 

[jon bones]

Disney+ presents Agents of Atlas - yes please!

 

[Supercrap]

I was wondering if he's going to show up in shang chi , there's barely any cast listed on imdb , only the mains

 

[Dark Mantonio]

Been a Randall Park fan since Ikea Heights. Glad he's deservedly getting more exposure, in for whatever he does.

 

[Saturday]

A more family-oriented X-Files based on Marvel weirdness is just a really fun idea.

Gimme the weird shit, I want to see him work with Monica more. Throw in a monster hunter.

.... throw in a machine man

And Shang-Chi guest appearances

 

[EraldoCoil]

Randall Park is godlike. Would love a Jimmy Woo tv show.

 

[rsfour]

Woo + MEWMEW, make it happen

 

[spyroflame0487]

Man all i want is them them to give some love to Agents of SHIELD. Is that too much to ask?

 

[addik]

He's actually done (ie: producing/directing) some successful shorts on the side. He did the 1917 parody "2020" which was pretty good and got pretty big.

I mean I doubt it'd go anywhere and him being loud about it on social media preclude it from being something for Marvel Studios (especially considering their heavy slate), but I wouldn't be surprised his viral tweet got him to be in a meeting room with someone who has influence from Marvel Studios (not Feige himself)

💯
Almost everything in MCU is planned so far ahead of time and they are not short of ideas. Schedules are so packed for the next 5 years for this show even if they want to make it.

Darcy

An X-Files like show would be a great way to actually introduce the various members Agents of Atlas to lead to a feature film.

Edit - But it also has to fully embrace the silliness and weirdness of those characters and include...

3D Man!

 

[Mariolee]

I would love this

 

[TheMadTitan]

Perfect opportunity to introduce Eye-Scream and The Wall into the MCU.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Does literally every other episode of every goddamn Disney show have to be some backdoor for another spinoff. Christ.

There was no backdoor pilot this time. It was just a fan idea that started trending.

 

[CommodoreKong]

Sounds like an amazing idea for a show. Hopefully it happens.

 

[Slayven]

Randall Park and Darcy, make it so

 

[Officer Big Mac]

Remember when everyone hated Darcy

 

[jwk94]

From Kamen Rider Dragon Knight to writing pitches to Disney. I hope this works out for him.

 

[Tom Nook]

I'm down with this.

 

[Cuburger]

The tweet by the same guy in the OP making the suggestion got over 100k upvotes on the Marvel Studios subreddit and is a top 4 post of all time. It went crazy viral.

Not surprising that Marvel and Disney would want to make some movement on this and I wouldn't be surprised if Woo was in the show because they were testing the waters to see if audiences would be receptive to him so they could eventually set up an Agents of Atlas.

Apparently, I was hanging around the wrong people because I have never heard anyone disparage Darcy. I personally have always found her to be a delight.

 

[Trigger]

Randall Park is genuinely delightful. I'd watch a show with him as the lead, and the Marvel universe is ripe for strange stories.

 

[AlecKoKuTan]

I'd be down for this!

 

[Ariakon44]

I mean, Disney + is looking to make just about any Marvel or SW series it can, so why not? I'd watch it. Randall Park is great.

Disney wants original content for Disney+ (and are willing to pay for it) and Marvel has an overabundance of ideas that would take decades to just make movies out of the biggest IPs. It's a win-win.

Besides, not every show will go for multiple seasons and are more like mini-series that better fit the format than a movie.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Gimme Agents of Atlas and Wave damnit.

Hopefully that's what it stays. I love the actor/character as much as the next person but yeah.

 

[Nesotenso]

Always wondered why the hell Coulson was created for the movies when Jimmy Woo was always right there.

 

[jwk94]

Hopefully that's what it stays. I love the actor/character as much as the next person but yeah.

But why? What harm comes in giving us another show?
