Disney and Netflix are partnering up to release four new shows based on Marvel superheroes! Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron fist will be onscreen alongside the Bluth family. Talk about worlds colliding!
The plan is to film four serialized programs and a miniseries beginning in 2015 and the shows will all be live-action.
“This deal is unparalleled in its scope and size, and reinforces our commitment to deliver Marvel’s brand, content and characters across all platforms of storytelling. Netflix offers an incredible platform for the kind of rich storytelling that is Marvel’s specialty,” Alan Fine, president of Marvel Entertainment, said in a statement. “This serialized epic expands the narrative possibilities of on-demand television and gives fans the flexibility to immerse themselves how and when they want in what’s sure to be a thrilling and engaging adventure.”
Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos is reportedly “thrilled to be working with Disney and Marvel to take our brand of television to new levels with a creative project of this magnitude.” I’d say that’s a pretty big undertaking, alright!
What do you think, Mag fans? Does this sound like something you’ll be watching in 2015?
