Following a recent tweet that he plans to pitch Marvel Studios a series about Jimmy Woo, solving supernatural crimes similar to The X-Files, writer and actor Stephen Ford posted an image of what Woo might look like in his spinoff series if it's picked up by Disney+.
Ford posted the Jimmy Woo concept art/image on Twitter, which shows the head of actor Randall Park -- who portrays Woo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- edited onto a beefed-up body wearing a black turtleneck and a gun holster over his shoulder.
Ford first tweeted about his spinoff idea in early February, noting that he's working on a pitch for Marvel Studios/Disney+ to develop a spinoff series starring the MCU's Jimmy Woo and Darcy Lewis as a space-crime-solving-duo similar to The X-Files' Mulder and Scully.
Park made his debut as Woo in 2018's Ant-Man and The Wasp, portraying a parole officer tasked with ensuring Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) stayed under house arrest. Kat Dennings stepped into the role of Lewis in 2011's Thor, portraying Jane Foster's (Natalie Portman) assistant while studying astrophysics to receive a doctorate -- which she obtains by WandaVision.
Both Park and Dennings reprised their roles in Episode 4 of the current Marvel Studios/Disney+ series WandaVision. The episode found Wood and Lewis working with S.W.O.R.D. to rescue hostages from the fictional town of Westview, which they believe was constructed and controlled by Wanda Maximoff.
While no official plans for a spinoff are currently in place, Dennings told Extra, "Oh boy, I'm in! I'm in." Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu also showed support for the potential series on Twitter and even asked for a cameo.
Ford has made it clear on Twitter that he's "an underdog" when it comes to developing the Woo-Lewis spinoff series. However, he also tweeted, "Okay but how can I get Kelly Marie Tran to be in this Jimmy Woo show?" Popular internet artist BossLogic also got in on the fun by dropping a poster for the potential spinoff inspired by Ford's tweets. The poster features a close-up of an unidentified man in a suit holding a playing card that reads, "Official Agent Jimmy Woo." BossLogic also included a potential title for the series -- S.W.O.R.D Chronicles.
Written by Jac Schaeffer and directed by Matt Shakman, WandaVision stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Paul Bettany as Vision, Randall Park as Agent Jimmy Woo, Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau and Kathryn Hahn as Agnes. New episodes air Fridays on Disney+.
