Surprise — Marvel’s Echo Is A TV-MA Adult Show

Surprise — Marvel’s Echo Is A TV-MA Adult Show

, , , , , 8

Two years ago, the miniseries Hawkeye premiered on Disney+, about the Avenger and his (maybe) daughter who desired to follow in his arrow-firing footsteps. Like the majority of Marvel shows produced exclusively for Disney+, it was aimed at a family audience. Soon after, Disney announced a spinoff centered around one of the characters introduced in Hawkeye. It’s taken a while it to show up, but it turns out to be very different from what it spun from. Echo is rated TV-MA and hearkens back to the gritty shows Marvel used to make for Netflix before Disney truly got in the streaming game. In fact, Kingpin from Daredevil is right there, and Daredevil himself is said to be showing up. The titular character is Kingpin’s adoptive daughter — Maya Lopez, a deaf Native American woman who has the power to perfectly copy the moves of anyone she’s fighting. Is the guy in the alley a Black Belt? Instantly, so is she. As the below trailer makes clear, Marvel won’t be shying

The Daredevil Reboot Has Been Rebooted

According to a new report from THR, we could be waiting a lot longer for Disney+’s Daredevil: Born Again. The upcoming series uses the same actor for Matt Murdock as the gritty TV show formerly on Netflix, but early reports suggested it would be different in tone, perhaps LESS gritty to fit better with the MCU as a whole. The delay isn’t due to the SAG-AFTRA strike…at least not directly. The strike gave MCU lord Kevin Feige the opportunity to look over Daredevil: Born Again and see if it was on the right track. The initial order was for 18 episodes and a little less than half had been filmed before the walkout. And get this: there was no pilot for the series. Not even a showrunner. That hasn’t been how things are done at the Marvel TV Factory these days — ever since Disney+ launched, the shows have been literal extensions of the movies, with the same directors and producers controlling both at once. The cracks in this method

Deadpool 3 Will Have Jennifer Garner As Elektra

Deadpool 3 Will Have Jennifer Garner As Elektra

A bit of cast news has leaked out of the set for Deadpool 3, which is filming now. THR caught wind that they convinced actress Jennifer Garner to dig her sais out of storage and re-become the assassin Elektra Natchios, first seen in the 2003 movie Daredevil before getting her own spinoff two years later. A lot of people are puzzled by this, but you have to remember what franchise we’re talking about. Given how the previous Deadpool movies were set up, I feel there’s a bit of in-movie context we’re missing here. Jennifer Garner as Elektra makes no sense, so it’s clearly a gag, but for what purpose? I never saw Elektra, mainly because I did see Daredevil and found it kind of blah. The Daredevil in that film is a clumsy take on a “flawed hero” who sometimes kills the guys he knows are guilty. Eventually he realizes “am I the bad guy?” and mopes on a rooftop. Then he meets Elektra, and there’s the required “boy, your

Daredevil Will Return In New Disney+ Series

They’ve been hinting at it, but today they made it official. Marvel has announced a new Daredevil series is coming to Disney+ at an unspecified time. They didn’t say who was playing, but it’s a bit obvious. Charlie Cox played the Man Without Fear in the 2015 Netflix series, and after the rights reverted to Disney, he showed up as Murdock again in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Vincent D’Onofrio was Kingpin in that series, and he came back in the same role on the Hawkeye series. So there’s little doubt it will be those guys once more. The question is…in what form? Will this new Daredevil series be a continuation of the Netflix series, or will it establish its own continuity? If it’s the latter, it could get messy, as the Netflix show was meant to take place in the MCU even if it wasn’t allowed to explicitly use Avengers characters. If it’s the former, there’s no way Disney+ will let it get as gritty as the first show was

Parents Television and Media Council are Mad because Disney Plus is adding Marvel Netflix shows

Parents Television and Media Council are Mad because Disney Plus is adding Marvel Netflix shows

Parents Television and Media Council is an association of conservative parents who wants the good old days back. They miss those golden times when Disney does nothing but Princess Movies and Mickey mouse. R18 films are joining the Disney Plus library and these concerned K̶a̶r̶e̶n̶s̶ ̶parents. Here are some of their statements regardless of this so-called controversy.   Parents Television and Media Council Tweets People are now ridiculing them because Disney has been doing adult content for a long time. Giving a range of options will make Disney Plus more profitable. They were kids when Disney only did Animation. Disney has been making non-family films and TV for a long time. Parents can use an Age gate option if they don’t want little Jimmy and Little Susie to watch the Defenders joining the MCU. While they are busy complaining that Disney Plus adds Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage to their library, their kids are too busy watching Elsagate on YouTube. The Marvel Netflix shows are not appealing to children

The Netflix Marvel Shows Are Now Headed For Disney+

The Netflix Marvel Shows Are Now Headed For Disney+

Disney formally announced today the shows Marvel produced in association with Netflix last decade — Daredevil, Jessica Jones, The Defenders, Iron Fist, The Punisher, and Luke Cage — will be given a new home soon. The contract with Netflix expired recently, allowing cameos from its characters to show up in other projects, but it also meant the ejection of said shows from Netflix itself. The new neighborhood won’t be Hulu, but Disney+. In addition, Marvel’s Agents Of SHIELD will be added on the same day. It may not sound surprising to some, but for those who know how Disney operates, it’s a bit unexpected. The Netflix Marvel shows were all rated TV-MA with adult content. Up to this point, Disney has not allowed any movie or TV series with R or TV-MA content on Disney+. Usually, the company offloads those things to Hulu, a streamer it has a majority stake in. Hulu has a more adult audience so it makes more sense to make movies like Deadpool available there instead

Netflix Will Lose Its Marvel Shows At The End Of The Month

Netflix Will Lose Its Marvel Shows At The End Of The Month

, , , , , 3

In 2015, back when this whole streaming thing was new, Disney allowed Netflix to have exclusive rights to extraneous shows based in the Marvel Universe. The next few years saw the releases of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, plus a crossover special, before Disney realized streaming was too valuable to let their IPs be handled by someone else. Thus, a shift in strategy cancelled all the Netflix Marvel shows, in some cases prematurely. However, due to the terms of Netflix’s contract, they would still have exclusivity to the shows for the next few years, as well as rights to the characters that appeared in them. It’s now 2022 and that deal is expiring piece by piece. Daredevil was the first to return to the Disney roost and it allowed Matt Murdock to appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home last December, played once again by Charlie Cox. The final piece is about to be lost: Netflix just put a notice up on all four Marvel Universe shows that

Daredevil, Ironfist and Jessica Jones will be joining MCU!

MCU about to be joined by the defenders? Marvel Netflix shows were good while they lasted. MCU might give them some hope. The Culprit of the cancellations is Disney Plus. Disney wanted to make Marvel content without third parties anymore. Many fans are sad that Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Daredevil, and Ironfish were all canceled. Ironfist  is polarizing but it does have a cult following. There are rumors that Krysten Ritter is in negotiations to reprise her role as Jessica Jones. She will be joining the cast of Jessica Jones. Jessica Jones, who is an investigator working with a lawyer like She-Hulk, makes sense. It may be a less dark representation of Jessica Jones because the She-hulk show will be a comedy. She-Hulk is a comedic character who breaks the 4th wall, while Jessica Jones is a dark and tragic character. That can be a contrasting dynamic that could lead to interesting interactions. Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are a couple. In the comics, they even have a child together.

Charlie Cox Is Playing Daredevil Again — But Not On TV

Charlie Cox Is Playing Daredevil Again — But Not On TV

It feels like an eternity ago that it was possible for a partnership between Netflix and Disney to produce mature-themed shows in the Marvel universe. But the Daredevil show was only cancelled two years ago. The industry sure changes quickly, doesn’t it? According to the terms of the deal, Disney was forbidden from doing anything with the Netflix shows, or the characters in those shows, for two years after cancellation. It has now been two years. We figured nothing would really happen, since two years is a long enough hiatus for audiences to forget, but….he’s back! Charlie Cox is suiting up as Daredevil, the Man Without Fear again. Just…not on TV. You might have heard that the third Tom Holland Spider-Man film is, for some reason, turning into a casting reunion for every Spider-Feature of the last twenty years. Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Kirsten Dunst, Jamie Foxx and Alfred Molina have all been confirmed as reprising their characters, which can only mean one thing…live-action Spider-Verse, baby! And now it sounds

Marvel To Auction Suits, Props And More From Their Netflix Shows

Marvel To Auction Suits, Props And More From Their Netflix Shows

, , , , , , , , 0

The Marvel / Netflix partnership is well and truly dead, and this proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt: all the props and items that were used in the shows are now being sold off. Marvel has announced an auction, taking place in June, that will include items mainly used in The Punisher and The Defenders, though stuff from other shows will be represented. Unfortunately, this is actually the third auction and we weren’t tipped off to the previous two. The second auction was the Jessica Jones one and that means we’ll never own Jessica’s Third Rate Joan Jett Wannabe Jacket, or Jeri’s bottle of suicide pills. The most coveted item in the vault, Daredevil’s suit, has already been sold….but you couldn’t afford it anyway, as it went for a whopping $55,000. I’m sure it’s serving its new role well as Palmer Luckey’s nighttime pajamas. Let’s see what we’ve got here anyway. Colleen Wing’s Stunt Katana And Sheath….ooo! There IS some good material after all. We all wish she

There May Be Hope For Daredevil Yet

There May Be Hope For Daredevil Yet

A glimmer of hope appeared for Daredevil, Luke Cage and the other Marvel Netflix shows today. The streaming giant threw the ban hammer down on most of these shows earlier this year, with their only hope being a pickup from parent company Disney — which we felt was unlikely. Disney+, the streaming service the conglomerate is preparing to launch late next year, is billed as a more family-oriented stream of entertainment….so the mature-themed Marvel shows, with their violence and swear words, wouldn’t really fit there. And the fact that Disney is preparing a few new Marvel shows to premiere on Disney+ — these tied more closely to the cinematic universe — would seem to seal Daredevil’s fate. But hold on. Kevin Meyer, head of Disney’s direct-to-consumer and international division, was interviewed by THR this week — mostly about Disney+ and the company’s future, but the subject did come up of their doomed shows over at Netflix. Would you consider reviving the Marvel shows that Netflix canceled? They are very high-quality

Daredevil Cancelled By Netflix

Daredevil Cancelled By Netflix

The Man Without Fear has fought his last foe. Netflix announced today they’re cancelling Daredevil after three seasons. When the streaming giant revealed they were pulling the plug on Iron Fist and Luke Cage, we wondered aloud if this was a sign they were voluntarily dissolving their partnership with Marvel/Disney altogether. With today’s news, we know for sure. Daredevil was the most successful of the Marvel/Netflix ventures, and Netflix owned streaming rights 100%. Some are going to assume Disney is yanking these licenses themselves, but due to the wording of the original contract, they can’t actually do that. “These shows are ours to cancel,” said a Netflix rep two months ago, and they’re certainly exercising that right. What this also, unfortunately, means is that Disney can’t continue Daredevil on Disney+ or any other of the kerbillion media outlets they happen to own. Netflix will hold exclusivity for years. “While the series on Netflix has ended, the three existing seasons will remain on the service for years to come,” says another
