What will be done with Daredevil, Iron Fist and Luke Cage now that their Netflix shows are canceled? You can likely add Jessica Jones and Punisher to that list soon.

im hoping a soft reboot in the MCU. Move them under Feige on Disney+

Except they likely will not R-rated on Disney+. I think that takes away from their appeal, IMO.

I can live without them being R-rated if it just means they'll actually might show up on the big screen under Feige.

I disagree, I think PG-13 Punisher and Jessica Jones would suck, I think you take away something from these characters when you put them in a more kid-friendly setting, even Daredevil works better in an R-rated setting, IMO. At this point, I think I care more about good storytelling then fan service easter eggs and crossovers, its part of the reason I liked Logan.

I’d rather see Iron Fist rebooted under Marvel Studios since out of the five Netflix Marvel characters Iron Fist would be the character that would most fit the tone of the MCU, imo. Dumping the character on Netflix was a mistake.

Not giving the character the level of care as Marco Polo was the mistake.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

It’d be a great start for a Marvel Knights/Touchstone 2.0 R-Rated MCU movie series with Daredevil, Luke Cage and Deadpool.

Netflix said they have the rights to stream all 3 seasons of Daredevil for years to come... Not indefinite rights it seems is maybe the behind the scenes hang-up that ended everything?

I assume they'll never lose the rights to stream if they pretty much financed the shows but exclusive SVOD rights could be lost at some point I suppose but the question is when.

Ugh... I posted in detail about this in some of the past threads after Luke Cage and Iron Fist were cancelled. People need to quit assuming since the shows show up on appstore about year later or cause can rent on Redbox or TVOD like service doesn't automatically equate to anything at least as far as subscription based VOD is concerned.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I don't see a soft reboot coming. If able, possibly once the FOX deal completes they can migrate to Hulu or FX. More likely, I see them being potential supporting character we see from time to time. Mainly Daredevil in that regard. I think Luke and Danny will basically disappear if they don't get some new show or resurrection on Hulu/FX. I don't think these characters were/are high enough priority for them to relaunch as movies or anything.

If they don't pop up as supporting characters or something or are not revived, I just see them collecting dust on the shelf.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Put on the shelf. If Feige wanted to use these characters he wouldn't have sent them to TV in the first place.

 

[OB12]

I am hoping that what we see shortly after the beginning of the year once the Fox sale is complete is that Marvel TV is reorganized under Feige. At that point I think these characters will make appearances in various spot. Heroes for Hire wraps up LC and IF loose plot threads on Disney+, Punisher moves to FX, and Daredevil and Jessica Jones move to Hulu. But the end result that the characters will be fee to show up on whatever medium when, and if, the story calls for it.

 

[Abudefduf]

Iron Fist should be rebooted in the MCU. That's where he belongs, and at one point even Feige used to agree.

Here's what Feige said in an old interview from 2010:
Marvel Considering 'Iron Fist' & 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' Movies, 'Black Panther' & 'Guardians Of The Galaxy,' Too!

"I think what Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction have done with 'Iron Fist' lately is exciting," Feige told MTV News. "I think 'Black Panther' and Wakanda has some amazing potential to be a feature film. 'Doctor Strange,' as you've mentioned. There are some obscure titles, too, like 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' I think they've been revamped recently in a fun way in the book."

Notice how all the characters he mentioned eventually got their own movies, except for Iron Fist. If that isn't proof that at one point Feige was seriously considering making an Iron Fist movie, then I don't know what it is.

Same for Luke Cage. As for the other three... I have no idea.

 

[Detective Conan]

Kevin Feige is a man of his word... for the most part. It’s astonishing to go back read those interviews and see how much he had mine back then and now he’s pretty much realized all those properties he expressed interest in doing years ago now(sans, Iron Fist of course).

 

[Spider-Fan]

Yet after he said that, he willingly handed off Iron Fist to become a show. I think that says more than this interview does. Actions speak louder than words.

 

[Flint Marko]

Ugh. I had never read that Fiege quote before but just knowing he was planning to use the character at some point makes the show look that much worse knowing we likely could have had an awesome version on the big screen.

 

[Zarex]

I think the Netflix defenders will get a respectable period of mourning - I'm thinking a decade or so - but eventually many of the street level Marvel heroes will be rebooted onto the big screen.

If the reports are true about the Marvel Execs not getting along with the Netflix execs and Netflix legally owning the rights to the shows, then they're not continuing on Hulu and they have no choice but to reboot. Whatever form of "connectivity" they had before, was diminished after Perlmutter was demoted and the Creative committee was disbanded. These shows are only in the MCU from THEIR POV not the other way around. Feige and co continue to ignore the shows and I doubt Disney would have wanted an R-rated Daredevil popping up family friendly movies in the first place.

If these characters do become supporting characters to the wider MCU, it won't be Cox, Colter or Jones. It will probably be new actors who fit Feige's vision.

I'm not that mad about the this news because Season 3 left like a season finale. Everything was wrapped up, no plot threads dangling loose. Time for a new Daredevil imo

Speculatory, again. But on to this bolded point, when has a show event happened that would have effected the movies? Within the Netflix shows I mean. There has been no story based reason to reference them. The absence of an easter egg doesn't mean not connected.

If Feige cares about fans honestly, he'd use Cox or Bernthal etc. Because fans like those versions already and we'd get more out of Cox DD interacting with Holland Spidey rather than a new actor.

Pretty much the entirety of Defenders. Somebody else besides the Netflix people would have felt the Category 3 Earthquakes the Hand was causing In Manhattan. If they were truly in the MCU, why did Peter Parker not put on his mask and see what was going on? Where was Stark, Rhodes and Vision? Madam Gao's plan to harvest the dragon energy or whatever it was (haven't watched the show since it came out), was going to make the city implode in on itself. This goes beyond just "Well, they are street level so nobody would ever notice" nah, EVERYBODY would have noticed the events taking place in Defenders.

The only evidence was some earthquakes, though. Outside of some eartquakes, everything else was background stuff the Avengers would not have been away of and we can argue they didn't think were anything but some odd natural occurrence. . So again, no reason for them to get involved. Also, if we operate on the logic of random event happens in NY so everyone must get involved, why do we have solo books at all? Shouldn't the Avengers be there anytime Spider-Man is investigating a string of crimes? So basically, do you want there to be a show/comic or not?

Further, I can say the MCU is equally guilty. Why when Stark was so publicly attacked and "died" did no one come after the Mandarin? Why didn't Iron Man help Cap against Hydra? Why didn't Doctor Strange grab the Avengers to fight Kaecilius when he and Mordo were over-matched? Why didn't T'Challa call Cap to fight Killmonger? Etc.

^^Yeah that whole argument is a slippery slope

But as for what will become of them, I can see three possible scenarios, in order of likelihood:
1. Netflix re-jiggers the whole thing and does fewer series which combine the heroes (e.g. Heroes for Hire/ Daughters/ Marvel Knights)
2. Disney streaming adds DD, H4H, DOTD, and Jessica Jones to its lineup
3. MCU Movie of The Defenders, fully integrating them and finally doing the team-up some justice

I'd love number 3... but sadly, I'm not holding my breath
