At the end of November we heard the news: Daredevil was canceled, thus joining the other two series of Marvel, Iron Fist y Luke Cage, who had also passed away, weeks before, by decision of Netflix. Then it stayed in the air continuation of these stories on other platforms (such as Disney +), something that now we finally clarify for you. Of course, [spoiler] what you are going to read, you will not like it.
Reliable sources have confirmed to the well-known media Variety that Netflix has a contract signed with Marvel that does not benefit this second one at all and that would take us a long time to see how the stories of Matt Murdock, Danny Rand and Luke Cage develop on other content services.
In this agreement, reached at the time by both parties, there would be a clause of armor, which prohibits the characters of the aforementioned series from appearing in any other series or movie that is not from the Netflix catalog during a specified period of tiempo.
And what is that period? well right two years after your cancellation date. This means that both Daredevil as Luke Cage and Iron Fist they could not be continued on any platform until November 2020 at the earliest.
We also have on the other hand The Defenders -on these lines-, a series that was also canceled around the same dates but which has among its protagonists a character who is still active on Netflix: Jessica Jones. This implies that we would have to wait for the third season of this heroine to be broadcast on the content platform, after which the series is canceled and after all this, add the corresponding two years of the agreement, placing us in a hypothetical 2021 as very optimistic.
Obviously by then the interest of many followers (especially those who watched the series for entertainment and not for being fans of comics) will have fallen enough so that there is no longer any motivation to see it, producing a unhook so strong that Marvel probably won't even consider the possibility of recovering these titles elsewhere.
In this way, they would end up losing the very spectators and followers that they have seen without expecting it -especially in the case of Daredevil– various Marvel series have fallen one after another. are still afloat Jessica Jones y The Punishersince both have seasons which are currently in production. Will they be the last we see too?
