If both sides are interested in making a deal, both sides are incentivized to compromise. With Disney+ launching, neither side was incentivized to make a deal. At the time that Marvel and Netflix agreed to the Defenders deal, 13-episode seasons were pretty standard on streaming, and content...

I would say the truth is somewhere in between the two: "Iron Fist" never achieved the buzz/critical acclaim Netflix was looking for, despite a much improved second season, so they cancelled it. Then there were creative disagreements between Netflix and Marvel over "Luke Cage", and neither side...

Disney prevented from using Marvel characters from Netflix series in any non-Netflix productions for two years after cancellation That means we won't be seeing Daredevil, Luke, or Iron Fist again in live action until 2020 at the earliest -- and won't see Jessica Jones again until 2021 at the...

That would be truly surprising to me. I just can't imagine Netflix putting up as much money as it did for these shows if it didn't have an exclusive arrangement for the streaming space.

The thing that sucks about Marvel and Netflix's partnership ending so acrimoniously is that Netflix is basically holding this pocket of the Marvel Cinematic Universe hostage: These shows are too adult for the Disney+ platform, and no other platform is going to want to pick up series where...

The tricky thing is that Matt's basically wearing the Iron Fist's mask.

The cover story of this week's Entertainment Weekly is a feature on "Marvel's The Defenders", coming : (click to enlarge) This Week's Cover: Meet The Defenders in EW's exclusive first look (includes a video from the cover shoot that I can't embed here) “Every one of them is following their own...

It'll be interesting to see how they handle the credits sequence for "The Defenders". If everybody who's credited as a series regular on any of the component Netflix series is also credited as a series regular on this for the episodes they appear in, it might be a long credits sequence. It'll...

I think I'd prefer a "Heroes to Hire" series, actually. Especially if the show divided its time between the Cage/Rand partnership and the Misty Knight/Colleen Wing partnership. Good news about Knight and Page for "The Defenders"!

Great news. Her pilot was the best of the three Marvel-Netflix series launched so far. I'm also pleased by the confirmation in Marvel's press release that "The Defenders" limited series will only be eight episodes. If I had a consistent complaint across the four (generally excellent)...

Lots of Marvel Netflix news coming out of New York Comic-Con today. In addition to the just-released trailer for the first season of "Iron Fist", we got updates on the next two shows in the Marvel-Netflix pipeline: "The Punisher": "Daredevil" co-star Deborah Ann Woll will reprise her role of...

"Marvel's Luke Cage" Comic Con Teaser: "Marvel's The Iron Fist" Comic Con First Look (with actual footage!): "Marvel's The Defenders" Comic Con Teaser (with official logo!):

"Defenders" miniseries and second season of "Jessica Jones" will film "back-to-back", may "overlap a little bit".

Great news. The announced showrunner, Steve Lightfoot, was with "Hannibal" since its excellent first season and has probably written more episodes of that show than anybody except Bryan Fuller. It'll be interesting to see what cast of characters they surround him with. He really came out of the...

"Marvel's Iron Fist" fills out remainder of series regular cast David Wenham (the Lord of the Rings trilogy, 300, "Top of the Lake") will play Harold Meachum, who co-founded Rand Enterprises with Danny Rand's father. Jessica Stroup (Kevin Bacon's niece on "The Following") will play Harold's...

Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez set to return as showrunners to the Marvel Universe for the Netflix Original Series "Marvel’s The Defenders"! Which seems like further confirmation that a third season of "Daredevil", if there will be one, won't film until after the "Defenders" miniseries...

"Marvel's The Defenders" up next after first season of "Marvel's Iron Fist"; production to begin later this year

Jessica Henwick cast as female lead on Marvel’s Iron Fist The "Game of Thrones" and Force Awakens actress will play Colleen Wing, a martial arts expert who runs a New York City dojo and will serve as "an invaluable ally" to the title character. So far all of the actors cast are British...

The entire first season of "Marvel's Luke Cage" will go live September 30

I've got to admit, "Iron Fist" is the Netflix/Marvel project I have the least amount of confidence in.

Marvel and Netflix developing "Punisher" series starring Jon Bernthal Bernthal will first appear as the character in the second season of "Daredevil".

Scott Buck to Showrun the Netflix Original Series 'Marvel's Iron Fist' A little apprehensive about this choice, to be honest. I'm not really familiar with his work, but he's widely blamed for ruining "Dexter".

I'm not the biggest fan of the MCU's version of Deathlok, which ties in with my issues with "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." generally. But I agree 100 percent that if they move forward with a series centered around the character, they should definitely keep J. August Richards in the role. If they want...

Marvel confirms Alfre Woodard's casting in "Luke Cage" She'll "play Mariah Dillard, a local Harlem politician--and cousin to recently announced Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes (Mahershala Ali)--who is looking to bring a new era of change to the streets she grew up on. Her personal life and...

Theo Rossi joins Marvel's "Luke Cage", Rosario Dawson will reprise her role as Claire Temple EDIT: Marvel's "Luke Cage" Casts Simone Missick As Mercedes "Misty" Knight

Deadline: Alfre Woodard in final talks for key role in Marvel’s ‘Luke Cage’ Her character would be an influential player in the Hell's Kitchen political scene whose machinations "will have an impact on Luke Cage’s life". She did a great job as an evil politician recently on "The Last Ship."

My guess is: Jessica Jones: Season 1 - October 2015 Daredevil: Season 2 - April 2016 Luke Cage: Season 1 - October 2016 Beyond that, I think it will depend on the reception to "Jessica Jones" and "Luke Cage" as to whether they get additional standalone seasons or not. From what I've heard...

Rosario Dawson has signed a Samuel L. Jackson-style multi-series deal to reprise the role of Claire Temple in the second season of "Daredevil" as well as the other Marvel-Netflix series She gets the third-highest "with" billing on her episodes after the title character who gets the "Starring"...
