Could Spider-Man Cameo on Marvel's Agents of SHIELD?
Could Spider-Man cameo on ABC’s upcoming Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD series which starts this fall? It’s not as crazy as it sounds and I’m not saying that he will. I’m just saying that it is a distinct possibility that the webslinger may pop-up on the small screen in some way. […]
