The split between Disney and Netflix came as a surprise to some fans who didn`t expect Netflix to cancel one of its most popular shows in Daredevil. This came after a series of cancellations for other Marvel shows like Luke Cage and Iron Fist, and was followed by cancellations for Jessica Jones and The Punisher. Since this happened, many have wondered when these heroes could appear in marvel`s current stable, as the contract between Netflix and Marvel called for it to take at least two years. However, a new report suggests that it will take even longer. Finally, in a large-scale move that would have surprised even Marvel executives, Netflix canceled each of its five running Marvel shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Punisher) one by one. Marvel has left fans distraught, offering comfort with an official message that the stories of these characters are far from over. After some time, however, the news appeared that the contract with Netflix included a two-year wait before Marvel could again have access to these characters. This two-year period began when each series was discontinued. When Feige first announced the crossover film Avengers: Infinity War (2018), he said that the possibility for characters from the Netflix series “definitely” exists to appear in this film,[174] and actors like Jessica Jones` Krysten Ritter have expressed interest in it.
[175] Daredevil`s Charlie Cox revealed that he and other Marvel Television actors were contractually obligated to appear in a Marvel movie when asked. [176] Infinity War co-director Anthony Russo explained that the inclusion of television characters in Infinity War would be complicated by the fact that Marvel Studios and Marvel Television would have separate surveillance. [177] The “shortest consideration” of including television characters in the film was eventually made, but the directors stated that it was “virtually impossible”[178][179] and instead decided to focus solely on overlapping characters from previous films. [179] In 2019, all hope seemed lost. Marvel Netflix series seemed to die out with jessica Jones` third and final season in 2019. According to Marvel`s contract with Netflix, the former would have to wait two years after termination before it could do anything with the characters. Previous understanding of the deal suggested Disney couldn`t revive those series or use those heroes for two years, but according to a new report from Indiewire, it will be much longer. At the premiere of Avengers: Endgame, a production manager told them that Disney had been warned by lawyers not to even start developing content with these characters until the end of that two-year period.
Many had speculated that Marvel would start developing projects with these heroes so they could put them into production after the past two years, but it seems that the contract somehow prevents this, or at least opens disney up to being sued for breach of contract if Netflix finds out. According to Screen Rant, the contract between Netflix and Marvel for the film and the television rights to the character of “Daredevil” will revert to Marvel two years after the termination. We love Frank, but we`re good at everything he has right now. Marvel Television CEO Jeph Loeb later explained that Marvel “wasn`t interested in making four pilots and hoping that one day they could all get together. Netflix really understood what we wanted to do. They are very open to directors who may not have the same luck on television. The idea of having all 13 episodes at the same time, especially in the serial narration, is very appealing. [4] Loeb added that the four characters “borrowed from a world” because of their relationships and their common New York framework in the comics, but that the individual series would be different from each other because “the characters have different problems, different problems, different feelings for them.” Loeb cited as examples the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy (both 2014), to which he said, “I can`t imagine two movies that are more different in tone” than they do, and yet “they feel very Marvel.” like, “Oh, it`s still the same universe I`m in.” [5] Since Netflix canceled “Daredevil” after three series in November 2018, the window for the announced moratorium will expire in six months, bringing the character back to Marvel and Disney. The series is believed to have generated a strong audience for Netflix, which does not publish the exact details of viewers, and has received positive reviews for its distributions and a darker view of the MCU. There were some common criticisms of the series, such as for its pace.
Netflix had canceled all series in February 2019, as Marvel`s parent company, Disney, was preparing its own Disney+ streaming service. Contractually, Marvel has to wait two years before it can use the characters without Netflix. Why it totally works: I mean, if there`s a member of the legal profession who doesn`t panic, if an eight-foot-tall green woman shows up in court in pants, it will be the blind defense lawyer, right?

Netflix discontinued all Marvel Cinematic Universe series on its streaming service between October 2018 and February 2019. In October 2018, Netflix canceled Iron Fist, with Deadline Hollywood reporting that Disney was considering reviving the series on its Disney+ streaming service. [180] Sarandos confirmed that the series would have to be extended or cancelled by Netflix if they wanted to, and the company was “super pleased with the performance [of the other series] so far.” Nevertheless, Luke Cage was canceled by the streamer a week after Iron Fist.[181] Deadline Hollywood reported that there were no plans to revive the series on Disney+ like Iron Fist. [182] Shortly after, in late November 2018, Netflix shut down Daredevil, with Deadline Hollywood again reporting that there was potential for the series to be revived on Disney+. [183] Conversely, The Hollywood Reporter considered it unlikely that the series would be relaunched on Disney+, and also noted that the other two remaining series would remain on Netflix at the time (Jessica Jones and The Punisher) “until they run their course.” [184] Variety added that under the original agreement between Marvel and Netflix for the series, characters will not be able to appear in non-Netflix series or movies for at least two years after they are discontinued. [185] [186] Kevin A. Mayer, president of Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer and International, noted that while this has not yet been discussed, it is a possibility that disney+ could revive the discontinued Netflix series.
