The Incredible Hulk
Just yesterday we again discussed the subject ofcrossover voltage between superheroesfrom Marvel Studios ' slating of films with other popular heroes owned by rival studios Fox and Sony . For Marvel , there ’s admittedly no rush to join forces with other studios since they have a vast program library of Marvel Comics characters and stories to beg into first . Today we see exactly what they mean .
In the film business , Marvel Studios accomplished something never before see , building a shared cinematic universe with a serial publication of interconnected films beginning with 2008’sIron Manand large screen team - ups ( The Avengers ) . On the telecasting side , they ’re attempt to push the envelope as well withMarvel TVsigning a landmark concord with Netflix .
reassert a written report from three weeks ago suggest thatMarvel is develop four television display and a miniseries(a total of 60 possible episodes ) and flip it to various connection , Disney - Marvel and Netflix have joined force out for exactly this . In what ’s delineate as an " unprecedented deal , " Netflix is expanding their partnership with Disney after signing an agreement last year for first - run rights to their film in the U.S. beginning in 2016 - which does of course of instruction let in Marvel Studios property and whatever ’s in the pipeline from newer acquisition Lucasfilm .
The new deal will see Netflix exclusively air out original Marvel live - action at law TV programming ground in the " gritty earthly concern of submarine sandwich and villains of Hell ’s Kitchen , New York . " This will begin in 2015 withDaredevil , an intellect propertyreacquired by Marvel Studiosfrom Twentieth Century Fox last year . Jessica Jones , previously talked about as apotential ABC serial , is next on the list , followed by other devotee - favorite characters in Iron Fist and Luke Cage .
In addition to the four serial , the agreement will also see a resilient - action miniseries television effect based aroundThe Defenderswhich could potentially work together the above - mentioned character along with Hero of Alexandria from the films , assuming they - likeAgents of SHIELD- take place in the same cosmos which they likely will . Alan Fine , President of Marvel Entertainment :
" This deal is unparalleled in its scope and size , and reward our commitment to save Marvel ’s stain , content and persona across all platform of storytelling . Netflix offers an incredible weapons platform for the kind of rich storytelling that is Marvel ’s specialty . This serialize epic expands the narrative possibilities of on - need television set and give fans the flexibleness to immerse themselves how and when they require in what ’s trusted to be a thrilling and piquant adventure . "
Fine ’s Good Book corroborate that just like other original Netflix programming , these shows will offer the alone welfare of reserve viewers to watch all sequence of a time of year / series in one marathon - style sitting . Unlike on ABC withMarvel ’s Agents of SHIELD , each season does n’t need to be a full 20 + instalment stretched out over an extended period of time , weave in and out of the continuity of the films . An episode ofAgents of SHIELDcoming afterward this calendar month , as an example , is base on theaftermath of the events inThor : The Dark Worldand rumour has it the show ’s final episodes will directlytie into next April’sCaptain America : The Winter Soldier .

The shorter seasons will feature 13 episode and in addition to looker not having to watch commercials during the episodes , arguably the most important welfare is for the God Almighty . They will not be tightly confine by film persistence and on Netflix they can offer more adult - focused programming for characters and stories that may not work as well for the family - favorable ABC demographics . Since the show will embrace shorter , pre - aforethought history arcs , they may even have access to high visibility gift than they would otherwise on serialize telecasting on traditional networks . We ’re cerebrate ( and hoping ) for something likeHouse of Cardsbut with superheroes .
What ’s most interesting about the chosen grapheme from Marvel ’s Hell ’s Kitchen , is in how connected they are . Luke Cage and Jessica Jones fall in love , have a child and get married in the books . batting cage and Iron Fist often team - up , forming theHeroes for Hiretogether . Cage and Daredevil ( real name : Matt Murdock ) are good friends and Iron Fist ( real name : Danny Rand ) has even suited up as Daredevil himself . Jessica Jones serve as Murdock ’s bodyguard when he ’s not suit up . Expect all of these shows to interconnect .
As forThe Defenders , a team feature a rotating roster of graphic symbol over the last few ten in Marvel Comics , it ’s potential that Marvel ’s feature film hoagie include the still - to - be - introducedAnt - ManandDoctor Strange , peradventure even Mark Ruffalo ’s Hulk , could sour together with characters from the Netflix Marvel shows . It just depends how ambitious and how " braggart " Marvel wants to take their growing universe . We only know from the official announcement that the miniseries will " reimagine " the heroic " dream team . "
