Disney+ Hotstar is getting extra Marvel exhibits — those that was on Netflix — on Saturday, May 21. On Tuesday afternoon, the Disney Star-operated streaming service introduced that each one 13 seasons of six Marvel Cinematic Universe sequence made by Netflix would quickly be supplied on Disney+ Hotstar. That consists of Daredevil starring Charlie Cox, Jessica Jones pushed by Krysten Ritter, Luke Cage with Mike Colter, the Finn Jones-led Iron Fist, the restricted sequence crossover The Defenders, and The Punisher starring Jon Bernthal. Daredevil and Jessica Jones have three seasons apiece, whereas Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Punisher ran for 2 every.

For these questioning how Netflix sequence are going to finish up on Disney+ Hotstar, that is as a result of Netflix by no means owned them to start with. They have been made in partnership with the now-defunct Marvel Television, and therefore have been beneath license from its dad or mum firm Disney. When the Mouse House deliberate its personal streaming service Disney+ that may be the house of latest MCU sequence — tied deeper into MCU motion pictures than ever earlier than — Netflix started reducing off all its Marvel productions. (Also, they have been very costly as they have been shot in New York.) Jessica Jones season 3 in June 2019 was the final one, earlier than Disney+ launched within the US in November 2019.

But the Netflix Marvel sequence remained on Netflix even after the launch of Disney+, due to the contract between Netflix and Marvel Television. The contract expired final 12 months, it appeared, as a result of Marvel Studios started integrating its characters into the bigger MCU. Back in December, Daredevil‘s Wilson Fisk/ Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) was a part of the Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld sequence Hawkeye. And then later that month, within the interdimensional Spider-Man: No Way Home that united the three Spider-Man eras of Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland, Daredevil/ Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) confirmed up as a lawyer — his day job — after months of hypothesis and fan expectation.

Following that, on March 16, all six — Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, and The Punisher — have been made obtainable on Disney+ within the US and different territories. But there was no phrase from Disney+ Hotstar then, till now. Come May 21, extra of the MCU — although not all, as Runaways and Helstrom are nonetheless lacking — is now on Disney+ Hotstar. We would possibly even see extra of Daredevil as a report from March claimed that Disney+ and Marvel Studios have been engaged on a Daredevil reboot. But there’s been no phrase on any of the others, and it appears they’re useless and buried in the intervening time. Of course, within the MCU, you by no means say by no means.

Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, and The Punisher hit Disney+ Hotstar on Saturday, May 21 in India. While Disney+ had so as to add new parental management settings due to the extra mature nature of the Netflix Marvel sequence, Disney+ Hotstar — already dwelling to mature content material from the likes of HBO — is asking subscribers to revisit present parental controls settings to “ensure a viewing experience most suitable for you and your family.”
