ABC is in very early stages of development of a live-action series adaptation of the popular Marvel comic book character. There is no writer on board yet.
Also – a few more Marvel titles/characters in line to be brought to the small screen from Yahoo:
[A] second hot property is “Cloak and Dagger,” which is being developed as a possible show for ABC Family.
And:
“Heroes for Hire” (focusing on ex-con Luke Cage offering to take on bad guys for a price);
“The Eternals” (a race of superpowered beings live amid humanity in secret, inspiring legends);
“Agents of Atlas, Alter Ego” (private investigator Jessica Jones takes on cases involving superhumans);
“Moon Knight, the Red Hood” (a low-rent criminal discovers a cloak that gives him superpowers);
“Ka-Zar” (a Tarzan-type and his saber-toothed tiger must journey to the concrete jungle to seek justice);
“Daughters of the Dragon” (a dynamic female duo, one with a bionic arm and the other a granddaughter of a samurai, open a private-detective agency); and
“The Punisher” (one man wages a war on crime; already adapted as two feature films).

Important to note: That is NOT CHRIS EVANS who is the lead in the upcoming THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA but rather a stunt double.
Being chased by agents of the primary film villian THE RED SKULL and/or agents of H.Y.D.R.A. – there is non-unanimous confirmation as to exactly who they are.

Marvel Studios announced that Oscar-nominated actor Stanley Tucci has been cast to star as Dr. Abraham Erskine in the studio’s highly anticipated movie Captain America: The First Avenger opposite Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Hugo Weaving, and Hayley Atwell.
In the early comics, Dr. Erskine was a German scientist behind Project Rebirth, the secret experiment that created the Super Soldier known as Captain America.
Tommy Lee Jones [has been cast] in ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER’ in a still-unknown role. Hayley Atwell, who plays Peggy Carter in the Joe Johnston-directed comic book adaptation, confirmed the news [in the interview below].
Chatter about the CAPTAIN AMERICA movie begins at about the 2:20 mark:
Rumors place the “Men in Black” star in the part of General Chester Phillips, the military officer who chooses Steve Rogers for the super soldier program and who aided in his training soon after the serum took effect.
In addition to Atwell, Jones is joining Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, Sebastian Stan, Toby Jones, Samuel L. Jackson and Dominic Cooper in the July 22, 2011 release.
