    Default Future Marvel TV shows unlikely to be released on Netflix

    https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/ma...etflix-a155122

    Earlier this week, we learned that Disney has been in talks with Fox to buy many of the studio's assets, including its film division. In a new report, The Wall Street Journal reveals that the company's main impetus for wanting to make this happen is expanding their reach on television, something which has become essential for them after spending over $15 billion buying big screen properties like Pixar, Marvel Entertainment, and Lucasfilm. Ultimately, it all boils down to wanting to compete with Netflix!

    In fact, the site reveals that after pulling its movies from Netflix in 2019, we can expect to see the same happen with Disney TV shows and new ones are going to be produced exclusively for Disney's planned streaming service. It's not clear whether that means new seasons of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and The Punisher would end up there or if this refers solely to newly produced shows moving forward.

    This is why Disney is pursuing Fox as it gives them so many new IPs to play with, specifically the X-Men. As noted, "After an acquisition, Disney would consolidate its control of all its Marvel characters save for Spider-Man, still at Sony Pictures Entertainment, and could have them appear together in films and TV series." Needless to say, that would be a game changer both for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the company's small screen efforts (which have had mixed success; see: ABC/IMAX's Inhumans).

    The state of the Netflix shows was always something to be curious about with DisMarvel pulling all their stuff off of Netflix, but I guess this makes it much more final.

    It's going to feel weird having those shows on a Disney service though .

    "It's not clear?" Funny, it was clear earlier when the initial announcement was made that the current Netflix contract with Marvel is binding and they own partial rights to the current series, ie Punisher, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, and the Defenders.

    I will say if Marvel incorporates Fox material (X-men material) into their disney package I am much more likely to buy their platform. So not an unsound business decision, though yeah I'm hoping they don't call the platform disney as watching anything Kilgrave on Disney is just going to feel super awkward.
