Earlier in the month, Marvel and Netflix made an amazing announcement. As part of a massive deal with the Disney Corporation, Netflix will produce four live action Marvel series and one mini-series. The projects will focus of Marvels Hell Kitchen heroes: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage. The mini-series will be based around the team-up group, The Defenders.
Marvel Entertainment president Alan Fine first announced the deal via a press statement:
"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. 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 added:
"Marvel’s movies, such as Iron Man and Marvel’s The Avengers, are huge favorites on our service around the world. Like Disney, Marvel is a known and loved brand that travels. With 'House of Cards' and our other original series, we have pioneered new approaches to storytelling and to global distribution and we're thrilled to be working with Disney and Marvel to take our brand of television to new levels with a creative project of this magnitude."
Buffy the Vampire Slayer writer, Drew Goddard, is rumored to helm the Daredevil series. Goddard is a huge DD fan as he told Collider:
"You’re talking to a guy who had quotes from Daredevil painted on his walls growing up. When I was 18 I still had the blood-red door with the ‘I have shown him that a man without hope is a man without fear,’ that was what I love. If we can find the right project, I’d love to do it.”
