Although ABC and Marvel are both possess by The Walt Disney Company , which is why Marvel chose that internet as their launching domiciliation for the TV side of the MCU , that does n’t mean they did n’t plan on working with other networks ( and service ) as well .
Three age ago , Marvel goggle box foretell a new partnership with Netflix to bring on four separate shows –Daredevil , starring Charlie Cox;Jessica Jones , asterisk Krysten Ritter;Luke Cage , starring Mike Colter , andIron Fist , star Finn Jones – that would finally conduct into a crossover voter series , The Defenders , where the four grinder from the four series would connect against a common foe .
