Great News Whedon Fans! Shield TV show has some pretty familiar sounding characters

So well all rejoiced when we learned that Joss Whedon was going to have a show on tv again.
Even more amazing it's based in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it's about S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Now we have a brief summery of the main characters:

• 
  
• 
  

• Skye – This late-20s woman sounds like a dream: fun, smart, caring and confident – with an ability to get the upper hand by using her wit and charm.
• Agent Grant Ward –  Quite the physical specimen and “cool under fire,” he sometimes botches interpersonal relations. He’s a quiet one with a bit of a temper, but he’s the kind of guy that grows on you.
• Agent Althea Rice –  Also known as “The Calvary,” this hard-core soldier has crazy skills when it comes to weapons and being a pilot. But her experiences have left her very quiet and a little damaged.
• Agent Leo Fitz and Agent Jemma Simmons – These two came through training together and still choose to spend most of their time in each other’s company. Their sibling-like relationship is reinforced by their shared nerd tendencies – she deals with biology and chemistry, he’s a whiz at the technical side of weaponry.

HHHHHmmmmm those characters don't look at all like some folks from a canceled TV show about space mercenaries. Well played Mr. Whedon.
