With the purging of Marvel Shows from Netflix and all the announcements regarding cancellations first Iron Fist, then Luke Cage, now Daredevil. I originally thought this was to bolster up the line up for the new Disney + streaming service but I read a couple of articles that made so much sense. Marvel will stop licensing content Movies & TV Shows to NETFLIX by late 2019. Now for the movies what I have been saying makes complete sense they will eventually transfer over to Disney’s new streaming service but the original programing like Daredevil and the crew won’t necessarily be a direct transfer.
NETFLIX actually produced these shows and the question is why would you pay to make a show that in essence advertises and competitors service. Remember Disney has a controlling share of HULU and owns ABC Networks so shows like Cloak and Dagger and Runaways are safe. The NETFLIX produced shows are a little bit trickier.
Disney could take over production but they are already shelling out a great deal of money producing original content with the big guns from the movies. Could they eventually bring these shows back, sure they can but I have the feeling they will bring NETFLIX MCU characters back after they see some success with Disney +.
The Avengers 4 Trailer has been a hot issue over the past few weeks and everyone is drooling for it. But let’s take this into account Aquaman which is getting awesome reviews is getting ready to drop, so what’s the best way to take a crap on the competition? Release the trailer everyone is waiting for right before it drops in the theater. I am sorry that’s basic marketing and a way to give the competition problems.
