Marvel Prepping Four Series and a Miniseries

[Doc Ock]

How exciting! It's like Marvel is taking the film model and putting it to TV! I always thought these characters particularly Daredevil were perfect material for television!

 

[kedrell]

I'm pretty sure how its worded is just live action, so they actually could make shows with their characters if they wanted. Sony would have to find a channel or have it be an online/Playstation show if they made a Spider-Man. But Fox could make a show of Mutants or Fantastic Four characters and put it on their network. And Universal (Comcast) could do the same with Namor.

At the same time Marvel can not use them in anything live action.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure film and TV rights are kept separate in this sort of thing. Now they could have the TV rights as well but I heard they don't. I don't think it goes just by live action. For example, I know Marvel can't make an X-Men or Spidey or FF animated film like the ones they have already in their library. Even though those are animation, they're still movies rather than TV shows. But Marvel can use all their characters in animated TV shows. Not sure if they could do that with live action TV. That's a gray area. But I'll bet Fox and Sony would mount a legal challenge if they tried since it would kinda screw them to have multiple live action versions of Wolverine and Spider-man running around competing with their movies. And at least with Sony, Marvel still has a good working relationship and wouldn't want to screw with that.

This is what I would like to see.

1. The Daredevil series on Netflix as a way to reintroduce the character, leading into the Defenders mini series, but mostly to serve as a prelude to a Daredevil Movie.

2. Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones all to have their own series on Netflix, leading into a defenders mini series and then Luke Cage and Iron Fist returning together for heroes for hire with Jessica Jones guest appearing periodically throughout the show.

3. A Doctor Strange movie, leading him into the Defenders Mini Series, and then returning in Avengers 3, and Doctor Strange 2.

4. Marvel to regain the rights to Namor (if they don't already have it), and for him to get his own movie.

5. Hulk to appear in Avengers 2 and 3 as well as at least one more solo film, but would prefer 2 more.

6. Marvel to regain the rights to the Fantastic Four within the next 5 years or so and with it to regain the rights to the Silver Surfer. With it I would like to see the Fantastic Four Vs. Doctor Doom for Fantastic Four 1, then a Silver Surfer origin Movie, leading into Fantastic Four 2 with the Coming of Galactus (Sure I know it was done before, but lets face it that it was done poorly and if done correctly it would be incredibly awesome).

7. From there lets say about 7 - 10 years from now we can have a roster change similar to what has been discussed with introducing new characters to the Avengers, and some of the more street level Defender's like (Luke Cage and Iron Fist) can be replaced by some of the more classic characters like Namor, Hulk, and Silver Surfer for a Defenders movie with Doctor Strange being the connection between both teams.

or at least something to that effect. So, that would be my dream, but I am sure I will settle for whatever we get and so far things are sounding very awesome.

I'm pretty sure they're giving Daredevil one of these series because he's not getting a movie.

I'm pretty sure they're giving Daredevil one of these series because he's not getting a movie.

It was later stated that if the shows are popular enough they may consider doing a film.

 

[Shifty]

Netflix already signed a deal with Disney last year giving them exclusive streaming rights to Disney films (Including Marvel, Star Wars, etc). I wonder if this tv deal was a part of that or a separate agreement. And I wonder if Disney isn't angling to buy Netflix outright in the future?

This was a new deal, Marvel talked to everyone in the marketplace (networks/cable) but Netflix offered them the best deal. Go back to the first post in this thread, this deal was open to everyone.

 

[Mr. Dent]

Deadline said this came out of that Disney deal.

 

[rogue trooper]

Very excited for this! Particularly Daredevil!

It shouldn't really be a budgetary problem for tv to capture the world of DD. I mean, the Frank Miller stuff should be quite apt for a tv mini-series format. Villains like The Kingpin, Bullseye, Mr. Fear, Gladiator, The Unholy Three, The Hand, The Rose, and maybe even The Owl and The Jester, could effectively be given that same "Arrow"-like treatment!

 

[Silvermoth]

This is definitely exciting news! Can't wait to see what they do with it especially daredevil. When fox sees what marvel can do with it boy will there faces be red!

I'm also excited for iron fist but I hope it's not just set in hells kitchen

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I would love to see at least one DD shot where he's falling, like this.

Also, I wouldn't be opposed to him wearing the black and red suit.

 

[madchild]

Does anyone else think that it's going to go...

2015 - Daredevil (Netflix)
2016 or 2017 - Dr. Strange (movie)
2016 - Jessica Jones (Netflix)
2017 - Luke Cage (Netflix)
2017 - Iron Fist (Netflix)
2018 - The Defenders, featuring Dr. Strange (Netflix)

i'm thinking this, but probably;

2015 - daredevil
2016 - jessica jones
2017 - luke cage
2018 - iron fist
2019 (maybe 2018) - the defenders

no chance marvel will shoot 5 tv series over 2013 and 2014 to have them all air in 2015. netflix shows generally have every episode available at once (eg: house of cards) which i also think makes everything airing in 2015 impossible. let's not forget marvel have a multi year plan (avengers 3 in 2018 or 2019?) so there's a very real chance they will do the same with tv

 

[Crockett]

So giddy over the prospect the new batch of Marvel shows, fantastic partner, dat Netflix. I'm just over the moon that Daredevil's one of them. I'd love if the show takes a page from Waid's run and make Daredevil really enjoys being a thrillseeker everytime he puts on his costume, Daredevil has defintely his fair share of dark and grim stories but he should not be defined by it.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I'd like that angle for DD as well. Thrill seeker. But he also has a job to do.

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

The Daredevil/Luke Cage/Iron Fist/Jessica Jones stuff could be to set up for a Heroes for Hire type series in The Defenders. Not really sure why they chose Jessica Jones. Though I suppose it wouldn't be Marvel without taking a risk. I like the idea.

I think it'd be fun (i've said for a while) if they were set in the 1970s/1980s. To avoid clashing with the modern day movies and also add a spin on it we haven't seen from the MCU.

I agree with whoever said The Defenders series should/could follow up a Dr. Strange film. But mostly I think he'll be big screen with The Avengers tbqh.

But I'm very worried about the budgets for these things. idk... Agents of SHIELD has me jaded.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Luke, Iron Fist and Jessica can all be part of a Heroes for Hire show after all of this is done. Then that opens to door for more shows, while keeping those characters relevant as well.

1. The Daredevil series on Netflix as a way to reintroduce the character, leading into the Defenders mini series, but mostly to serve as a prelude to a Daredevil Movie.

Surfer

Sorry, but all this only serving as a prequel for Daredevil? That looks like a major waste, and if they got the FF back they shouldn't rush it, don't force Dr.Doom into the first film again, let the first one be about the team, following that model, Galactus would come in FF 3, and Silver Surfer should get his spin-off after, he's more interesting when you have no idea where he came from.

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

I do like the term "The Defenders" to describe those specific heroes too. Just because they would be more grounded. They'd be there to defend new york rather than avenge it.

 

[Lord]

When i think about it, The Avengers are more defenders of the earth while these Defenders are more like Avengers of new york

Probably because they already had the concept in place from before, when they were planning the Aka Jessica Jones TV series. This is now their chance to green light that.


I wonder if DD will start off in his yellow and black costume or will he go straight to the iconic red. In the Fox DD movie he went straight to red, but that's perhaps because they didn't have time to have all these costume changes. In a series, he could start off in one early costume and change later to a red one.

 

[samsnee]

The last scene of the movie had him falling like that and was a recreation of that cover.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Then they need to re-recreate it!

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

Since they are only 13 episodes or whatever, I'm hoping for one decent action scene in each episode.

I can only hope lol.

So what are they defending Hell's Kitchen from? Kingpin or someone similar? The Hand?

Yeah cuz we never really saw his first days as DD.
It would be cool though to see him start out with the black and yellow first for a few episodes and then have it damaged beyond repair or something.

I was about to say that, it's a cool shot.

Dark Raven...many thanks for the laughs you have just given me this morning. Hilarious.
