And like a dummy I forgot to actually include the link: https://decider.com/2019/02/14/jeph-loeb-legion-marvel-tv-interview/ This interview, plus his statement on the Marvel site to which Sam linked is overall pretty positive for the future of these characters.

Here's a link to the full interview with Jeph Loeb, from the original source. The full interview has some good general commentary on the industry: "There is stuff going on all the time. I think it’s also realistic to think when you have 11, 12, 14 shows that some of them are going to rest".

As a follow up to my earlier post, here's a link to TheWrap's interview with Craig Erwich at Hulu. Some interesting tidbits (nothing explicitly stated, of course) about Disney's plans for Hulu. It seems Disney is committed to moving forward with their plan to have Hulu handle the R-rated (or...

My post above is basically a direct comment on that, Sam. Again, my personal takeaway is to take with a large grain of salt anything any non-lawyer says about what a party can or cannot due under a contract. This is especially true with web pieces (and even more so with that particular...

Just to build on what I've said previously (don't trust all reporters "summarizing" legal rights), here's a link to a Hollywood Reporter interview with Kevin Mayer, Disney's Chairman, Direct-to-Consumer. A notable exchange: Q: Would you consider reviving the Marvel shows that Netflix canceled...

For what it's worth, I wouldn't take what these "sources" say as the gospel unless those sources are lawyers (they aren't). Not to put too fine a point on it, but business people and laypersons alike suck at reading contracts, and suck even more at explaining them in lay terms. I'm a litigator...

I haven't seen the Netflix/Disney suite of agreements myself, but I have seen similar agreements in my legal travels. The terms are often surprising. Between the agreements and the various other mechanisms available, the party with the greater bargaining power usually both gets what it wants now...

This was dealt with in the original announcement for the Disney+ service. Disney+ will handle content up to PG-13, and HULU will handle R (and ESPN will do sports or something--I don't care). Also, my understanding is that Netflix does not have exclusive rights to the earlier seasons; it's a...

Matt's wearing a makeshift disguise in the teaser. I guess at this point he's keeping his identity secret. An alternative explanation is everyone is playing a trick on him, and has told him they are wearing masks, too. "You all have disguises, right?" Yeah, sure we do, yeah..." (yeah yeah he...

For me, Marvel has generated so much good will (Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant Man, Daredevil, JJ, Dr. Strange [!!]) that at this point I completely trust that they will deliver a stellar product. The Netflix/Marvel combo even moreso.

Can't wait for Moon Knight, who is another one of my favourite Marvel characters. Between Dr. Strange, Thanos, Moon Knight, and Star-Lord, it's like the MCU is reaching into my brain and making my dreams a reality! I'm not sure I agree that Spector's background is what separates him from...

It seems an individual's opinion of Civil War is connected with how that person considers Joe Quesada. People that think he rescued Marvel from the mediocrity and a slavish adherence to tradition tend to like Civil War, while people who think he's the devil strongly dislike Civil War. I'm in...

Really? That's surprising. She often appears in the large-scale Marvel events whenever the story shifts to the street-level heroes. I would have thought you read Civil War, at the very least, as you seem to be a fellow comic fan :)

These days, Jones basically only exists to fight and make up with Luke Cage. Seriously, every issue they are alternatively on the verge of divorce ("I can't take any more of this, Luke! You've changed!) and getting back together ("this is the man I fell in love with!"). There is lots of Luke...

Yup. I was just voicing my general dislike for Daredevil--and really all the "street level" heroes, including Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. Iron Fist is tolerable, but Cage and Jones have literally never been interesting, and are always poorly written (I like Bendis but even he can't save...

I'd prefer a Doctor Strange movie before Daredevil.
