What will be done with Daredevil, Iron Fist and Luke Cage now that their Netflix shows are canceled?

[Lilbaz]

Lets face it we will not see cox play dd again.

Disney will reboot maybe as a film but cox will not play the role. That version is at netflix and is cancelled.

 

[Abudefduf]

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.

Maybe he was given no choice. We'll probably never find out what really happened, but what matters is that, at one point, he was indeed thinking of making an Iron Fist movie.

 

[Darkprime]

Ok so if we do get a MCU reboot who should play DD? I'm sure there's another great actor out there who can own the role. Any ideas?

Whatever anyones guesses are feige will probably have a different idea and it will probably be the right one. Has the mcu ever really let us down with their casting?

 

[babykhris]

Why do we need to reboot? Mark my words Marvel Television will be under Marvel Studios in 2019.

Alex Pettyfer, Sam Clafin, Jamie Dornan, Robert Pattinson etc. A lot of great choices out there.

I wouldn't be surprised if they started him off with red and yellow to get him away from the Cox and Affleck version

 

[Darkprime]

I was thinking Jason Statham I remember he was up for bullseye at one point.

Look, I support Fiege. Dude hasn't made a misstep yet. But recasting DD would be a massive one. There's simply no reason to unless Netflix has some kind of clause not allowing the MCU to use their interpretation of the characters. Cox owns the role, and D'Onfrio as well. DD S3 was one of the best superhero products I've ever seen. It's up there with Logan and TDK. Recasting it would be foolishness in the extreme.

Continue the damn show on Hulu, or move Cox and D'Onfrio to appear in films.

I could see Statham as Bullseye. Him as Matt would be odd imo. Statham would probably do Bullseye if it were a movie too and set him up for Thunderbolts with some mutant villains and Spider-Man villains. Bring back William Hurt's Ross Marvel could have their own Suicide Squad

Netflix has the rights to that version. Disney will make their own probably that will be part of the mcu. Not even sure if disney could make a small screen version.

This is definitely unfortunate. But do we know how long they have the rights to it? They had to re-up on the rights, but then the question is, if they don't re-up (which obviously they aren't) do they exclusively own the version they created? The Russos stated they were considering Netflix characters to cameo in IW, so the potential was there...but of course this was at a point where the Netflix/Disney relationship wasn't as strained.

It really comes down to what the specifics of the contract is.

I'm not sure what the details are. Just what has been said. Even in marvels statement they said it was the final season and that it was over.

 

[Darkprime]

The official marvel statement indicated that that the current seasons would remain on Netflix for years to come that seems to imply to me that they own the current version but not the rights to DD which marvel only leased to them in 2013 when they signed the Netflix deal after Marvel got them back from Fox.

 

[Marvel united]

Netflix probably owns the shows period. For an indefinite amount of time I'm guessing

The official Netflix statement indicated the shows would remain on that platform. All Marvel said was that there would be more adventures with the man without fear in the future. Very vague, though posting a picture of the Cox characters does somewhat indicate they might be continuing that iteration.

I find it hard to imagine Disney would have entered into any sort of deal that would prohibit them from using this interpretation if it ended up being popular, especially after just getting the rights back. But who knows. There's know way to be sure unless we get inside rooms with the lawyers. If it is an option to use these cast members and this interpretation though, hopefully Marvel is smart enough to do so.

 

[Marvel united]

Well they aren't using McAvoy or Fassbender so they don't have to use Cox and co. The one thing Feige excels at is casting, so whoever he chooses will be just as good as Cox.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Tell me all about that since I will skip it if they reboot

Whattttt?! You would skip seeing Daredevil back on the big screen again for the first in 16 years because he's not played by Charlie Cox? You would skip FEIGE'S Daredevil? You're gonna miss out man.

Technically wouldn't the casting credit go to Sarah Finn? Feige doesnt get all the credit.Even though I'm sure he has input.

I would be out too. Like I said earlier, I love Feige, the guy has done great work. I support his choices. But if there isn't anything stopping them from using Cox and D'Onfrio, they should absolutely use them. Recasting would be a huge mistake. I loved FC and DOFP, but DD was far and away better than anything the new X-men cast did, and has the added benefit of not having some lackluster releases under it's belt the way the new X-cast did. Not only that, it has easily one of the best superhero products produced, film or TV, inside its history.

Not using the X-characters is a completely different situation.

 

[Infinity9999x]

They own the distribution rights certainly, but Disney was always getting some profit off of them. And we already knew that Netflix was going to have to re-up on the rights.

So that begs the question, do they have exclusivity on continuing the show? And how much leeway does Marvel have with using the same characters and interpretation?

That's what's up in the air. And there's no real way to know until someone from Marvel or Netflix enlightens us.

Disney may be the ones stopping them or maybe even Netflix itself. Or maybe Feige just wants to realize his own version of ol' horn head instead of utilizing somebody else's work he had nothing to do with? I don't see what's so wrong with that. It would be a shame for both of you to miss out on Daredevil with the Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man and Fantastic 4 because they're played by someone other than Cox or D'Onfrio. Daredevil and the Kingpin have been around for a looooong time. Long before the Netflix version was even pitched. And they'll continue to exist long after.

There are thousands of fans out there who don't want the X-Men to be rebooted and they don't want Marvel to recast these characters. Days of Future Past was a pretty great film but should not stop Marvel from creating their own version that fits the MCU.

She should definitely get part of the credit but Feige/Marvel Studios are the ones who ultimately choose the actors. Sarah is the one one who commissions casting calls and organizes the different people to audition based on Feige/director crews specifications for what they want out of the character.

I think you would have to ask @ADollarADay He's probably read the fine print on the contract itself.

The Fox-X-men were created in a universe that was never meant to connect to the MCU. Daredevil was originally conceived as a product that was meant to tie into the MCU. The carryover is much simpler in that sense. And yes, these characters have had many interpretations. But the reason I don't want to see Fiege reinterpret it, is, frankly, because DD S3 is better than any of the single MCU films I've seen. And I LOVE the MCU. It's a testament to world building. But DD S3 is on par with the best I've seen the Superhero genre put out EVER. Not just for TV.

Granted, it's not quite fair to compare DD S3 to a film, as it's essentially one long 13 hour movie, so it's able to be more complex and in depth, but still, it's one of the best superhero products I've ever seen. Recasting it now would be akin to, say, WB announcing they were not doing another Batman movie with Nolan after TDK, but still having the option to continue his Batman with Nolan attached as a long Netflix style series, and rebooting just...cuz.

This series has been stunning. I love Feige, but I honestly do not think he can do better. And he doesn't need to. He can easily incorporate the version of DD we have now into films, or (if the option is there) continue it on Hulu.

I'm not sure who that poster is. Is there a specific reason why they would be aware of contract details? If they work for Marvel, the odds of them being able to tell us anything are pretty much nil. They don't joke around with their NDA's.

Yes I would skip it. Because there is no reason to do that other than being petty.

I would worry that a MCU Daredevil would be watered down to fit Disney's family-friendly brand. Really I think DD workes better in an R-rated setting, otherwise what is he going to do, joke around and fight Stilt-Man? To me, the central themes of the post-Miller are pretty dark and not family friendly (and pre-Miller Daredevil was often painfully mediocre).

To me, good storytelling is more important then Easter eggs and crossovers.
