The Marvel Cinematic Universe is expanding once again, because Marvel Studios has announced at New York Comic Con another project that will debut after Avengers: Secret Wars wraps up the Multiverse Saga. That would be Zodiac, a new “spy thriller” from Marvel Television. But besides a 2028 release window, we don’t have any other official information beyond the show’s logo, which has resulted in Marvel fans the world over asking the question: What the heck is this show even about? Is it a character? An organization? Is Marvel making a TV series about the Zodiac Killer? (Not likely on that last one).
Meanwhile, Clark Gregg, aka Agent Phil Coulson from Agents of SHIELD, seems excited about the new show... or at least has shared the Zodiac news on social media. Hmm...
Well, Zodiac does in fact exist in the Marvel comics universe as a team of villains. So let’s look at the source material and other MCU projects to see if we can figure out what Marvel has up their sleeve... and whether or not this means Agents of SHIELD could somehow be returning too.
The most prominent Zodiac in the Marvel universe is the Zodiac Cartel, a group of 12 supervillains who stylize themselves after the signs of Western astrology. So there’s someone named Aries, someone named Taurus, someone named Gemini... you get the idea. The organization is a subversive criminal group who sought world domination under the leadership of Cornelius van Lunt, aka Taurus, and would become recurring enemies of the Avengers.
