Even as Disney’s independent streaming service will launch in fall 2019, the TV side is already taking shape. Not only do we have a sense of what budget the Star Wars TV series and its companions will have (hint: dragon-sized), but we also know The Defenders are safe at Netflix.
We still don’t know much about Jessica Jones or Luke Cage’s Season 2 premieres next year, but it looks like Iron Fist is gearing up for his own sophomore showing. Our first new addition to the series has arrived, as Star Trek and Black Mirror alum Alice Eve heads to Danny Rand’s orbit.
The announcement of Disney’s inevitable streaming service raised a number of questions on the TV side, including whether Marvel series would follow their movie counterparts in leaving Netflix. The six Defenders series now seem likely to remain in their original home, however, according to comments from Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos.
The Major Crimes Unit meets the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We break down every MCU appearance of HBO’s ‘The Wire’ cast, from ‘Thor’ to Hulu’s ‘Runaways.’
The debut of Marvel’s Punisher spinoff brings the grand total of MCU and X-universe series up to eleven; soon to be twelve with Hulu’s Runaways. From the slums of Hell’s Kitchen to the moon, the time is now to rank all of Marvel’s current-generation live-action series, including our beloved Defenders, mutants and more.
We’ve heard one reason or another why Marvel’s film heroes aren’t likely to cross paths with The Defenders, but one recurring oddity is the absence of any Avengers tower from the Manhattan skyline. Marvel brass now explain we should envision New York City in a “less specific” way, so as to avoid overthinking shared continuity.
We had hoped perhaps Iron Fist might forgo Season 2 in favor of a Luke Cage “Heroes for Hire” series, but Marvel and Netflix will bring us the next best thing. Danny Rand will return alongside his new buddy Luke in Season 2.
Marvel’s ‘Inhumans’ shoots for the moon with a super-powered ‘Game of Thrones,’ but winds up much closer to bargain-basement ‘Thor.’ Our early review, before the IMAX premiere hits ABC on September 29.
