Netflix’s Marvel TV Series Aren’t Coming to Disney+… for Now

The saga of Netflix’s disappearing Marvel TV sequence continues, though the most recent growth is extra about what’s not occurring—i.e., the exhibits relocating to Marvel’s leisure hub at Disney+. An inventory of the content material coming to the streaming service in March has been revealed, and it doesn’t embrace any mentions of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Punisher, or the Defenders.

It’s a bummer, but it surely’s not too stunning provided that there’s by no means been any concrete info that the 5 exhibits could be coming to Disney+, or the opposite Disney-owned streaming service Hulu, subsequent month or actually any month, though it appears supremely doubtless that the Netflix exhibits will find yourself on one or the opposite finally. Disney+ not solely holds all of Marvel’s motion pictures, together with these out of Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity just like the Fox X-Men movies and F4nt4st4c F44r, together with most Marvel animated sequence ever produced. Thanks to Charlie Cox’s look as Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home, the Netflix sequence are in a murky continuity limbo with the MCU, which makes them considerably extra necessary to the viewers than dreck just like the Inhumans TV sequence.

So I personally count on Daredevil and the gang to come back to Disney+ finally, however what’s the hold-up? I can suppose of some prospects:

1) When Marvel signed its take care of Netflix to make the exhibits, Netflix included some sort of “non-complete” clause which mentioned in the event that they have been pulled, the sequence couldn’t air on different streaming companies for a selected time frame.

2) Disney might deliver all 5 sequence to Disney+ in March 1 if it wished to, however is concentrating extra on unique Marvel content material and may’t be bothered to take care of stuff that was co-created with different firms.

3) Disney might deliver all six sequence to Disney+ in March, however goes to carry maintain them unavailable for some time to drive pleasure for after they’re finally launched.

4) The exhibits are literally in a bizarre authorized quagmire between Disney and Netflix the place Disney can stop Netflix from airing them however Netflix doesn’t have to provide them to Disney, and the 2 firms are arguing concerning the worth for his or her launch.

To be clear, that is all utterly baseless hypothesis, apart from that Disney has confirmed to us March shall be completely Daredevil-, Jessica Jones-, Luke Cage-, Iron Fist-, Punisher-, and Defenders-less. We’ll simply have to attend and see till… uh… they are often seen, I assume.
