Whoaa that's pretty big TV news. If even a couple of these are big hits that would put them ahead of WB/DC on the TV front.

Does anyone know who would have the rights to produce a Live Action Spider-Man? Could Marvel studios do that?

No Sony has the rights for live action.Marvel has the animated rights.

Darth Vicious
Wow, didn't expect that at all. Excellent job by Marvel!

Damn it!

Guess we won't see a live/action big screen Spider-Man team up any time soon.

pym-ftw
I'll watch this.

Darth Vicious
I would like to see DD:Guardian Devil but with Mysterio being the villain it might not be possible.

JayDaDon
Gotta say, my body is more than ready for a Daredevil and Iron fist show. Instead of Defenders they really should just make the group Heroes for Hire.

How would that put them ahead? It's a start, but WB/DC released they will be doing a Constantine, Gotham, Hourman, and possibly Wonder Woman. Not to mention Arrow.

Golgo13
BTW, REALLY interested in Iron Fist and Cage shows. Should be fun.

One thing that I forgot is that I need to get Netflix to watch these shows. Or I can wait and watch it online for free or something. Same thing annoyed me when I had to wait and watch Arrested Development.

BruceSkywalker
I don't pay for Netflix so I might miss, however if the cast is people I can like then I will change my mind

Bouboumaster
Luke Cage will kick ass

Kazenji
Apparently these characters can still get movies if they end up being popular on Netflix.

The cool thing is that they released all the episodes at once and more than likely you'll be able to get them all right away.

Stealth Moose
Yeah, do a free trial. Then binge.

Some of their shows are really good like House of Cards and The Fall (not an exclusive). I almost dropped Netflix, I'm glad I didn't.

SpaceMonkey
I watch shows on Netflix all the time. (X-Files, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Arrested Development, Freaks & Geeks) Now I have an even better reason to keep it!

God I hope the Iron fist show has serious talent(Asians) working on fight choreography. If the fighting looks like the dark knight.... erm

Some of these series could take place in the 70's

Firefly218
I just realized, Scott Adkins would be absolutely perfect for daredevil. Marvel needs to cast him right ****IN NOW

JayDaDon
Physically he'd be perfect to play A superhero, just not sure its daredevil. I'm hoping this show will be equal parts action and drama and for that they'll need one hell of an actor.

Firefly218
Physically and appearance-wise Adkins would be perfect.

JayDaDon
I actually think Adkins has the perfect look for a Bruce Wayne.

Firefly218
Bruce Wayne is Daredevil laughing

So far DC TV strategy is working better then Marvels. With MAoS getting better that could change.

Warner Bros execs have no balls btw

Terry Crews says he's up for playing Luke Cage.

Not sure how realistic that would be with him under contract with Brooklyn 9-9.

Rumor: Netflix and Drew Goddard want Michael C. Hall to play Daredevil

http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/rumor-netflix-and-drew-goddard-want-michael-c-hall-to-play-daredevil

If he got ripped(well a bit more ripped) I would actually be ALL for that choice.

He's a great actor, but he doesn't look like a superhero

JayDaDon
I actually think he looks alot like Matt Murdock in that picture. The only concernis his age, but he looks like he could easily pass for someone 10 years younger.

Firefly218
Given his resume, he could definitely pull it off

I was thinking that because Marvel has no Hawkeye movie plans, how cool it would be for a masked Renner to lead the defenders

Firefly218

Pretty damn cool. And unfortunately expensive.

Hawkeye is gonna have a big role in Avengers 2 apparently

pym-ftw
I'll wait and see if that comes to pass, along with betty or another "love intrest" for Ruffalo. Seeing how Pym won't be in any Avengers movies it could be Jocasta just to spite me.

Can't wait to hear about casting for dd.

Also would be great to see Frank Castle or even Black Widow recurring

pym-ftw
That is a good idea for Punisher to show up in this series, I can't see him as a lead character and keeping the movie pg-13

Firefly218
What do you guys think about casting for Foggy Nelson?

Jonah Hill?

pym-ftw
Depends the age range, and honestly Netflix isn't getting A listers.

Firefly218
Originally posted by pym-ftw

With that 200 million dollar budget, Marvel could certainly get Jonah Hill. I wouldn't even say he's an A-lister, more so a B+ lister. The A-list is reserved for the likes of Leo, Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis etc...

JayDaDon
Thinking of it...Jonah Hill actually wouldn't be a bad choice for Foggy Nelson at all. But I'm all the hyped for the Daredevil one. If they play their cards right, it could be absolutely huge.

Jon Favreau as Foggy Nelson was one of the best things about the Daredevil movie. I'm most concerned about who is going to play Matt; the rest I can live with.

On topic I'd like Jason Segal as Foggy & Isaiah Mustafa as Luke Cage.

I'd really like Ice Cube as Tombstone if they have him, and I'd get John Goodman as Kingpin.

JayDaDon
Until I see a better one, I still say Michael C Hall is the dead wringer to play Matt Murdoch IMO.

What the f**k?

Firefly218
I feel like Michael C. Hall is too old and different for the Daredevil role.

Either Scott Adkins or Philip Winchester would be perfect. Adkins has the martial arts background and looks the part, his acting is pretty good too. Winchester has the superhero build and acting chops.

The ideal scenario for me is Adkins/Hill

I LOVE Adkins. The dude is a phenom. But you need one hell of an actor to pull off Daredevil the way he's meant to be seen. Adkins just isn't as proven as a Hall. I hope this series is a blend of action, thriller and drama. If done as well as the comics, it could be an epic show on the level of some of the best we've ever seen. It has all the potential to be on the level of a House of Cards. You need a actor's actor to take it there.

Also I don't think Hall is too old at all. Jeremy Renner is older than Hall and he's playing Hawkeye(someone around Matt's age) and Hall can pass for someone 10 years younger.

pym-ftw
I hope the fight choreography is on point, this series has 2 of Marvels premiere MAs and I hope they feel different in style.

JayDaDon
Daredevil and Iron fist are the two I'm most psyched for.

pym-ftw
I really hope it looks brutal like Cap 2's fights.

Kazenji
Been reading Drew Goddard is now off the Daredevil series and has been replaced with Spartacus' Steven S. DeKnight

Hopefully that won't delay these series, I really hope they are good.

That's a much better picture, the one the other site had up was horrible.

Firefly218
How about Drew Goddard being replaced by Steven Deknight as showrunner? I'm a little disappointed that Goddard's out, but I hear Deknight wrote well for Sparticus. Also he's written some awesome Angel episodes - and Angel was kind of a "hero for hire" show.

pym-ftw
I really hope Daredevil is more like Wolverine, a very serious character with Luke & Danny and in his solo Foggy as the comic relief guys. I hope we get some B.A. rogues to show up also though I'm not sure who Sony has & who Marvel gets, ill definitely love a GSP/Batroc cameo & an Elektra done right.

God I hate when they don't give you a single phucking picture.

JayDaDon
Just looked him up on google. I wonder how they're gonna go about it with him as Kingpin.

Martian_mind
So ****ing excited for Daredevil.

JayDaDon
Oh shit lol just realized he's private pyle from Full metal jacket!

BruceSkywalker
he's a good actor when good scripts

roughrider
I wonder how he'll do it. It would be dangerous at his age to get fat for the role, like he did for Full Metal Jacket in 1987. Just as long as he exudes danger and menace.

Kazenji
I'm thinking maybe go with a fat suit.

pym-ftw
I like the size difference at about 6" but with movie magic and a girth suit hopefully KP is a beast.

Golgo13

SpaceMonkey
I like the casting. He's a good actor, and if they don't make him ultra-fat I will be OK with it. As long as he's bald and imposing, he should be OK.

JayDaDon
I actually think I like the kingpin casting more than Daredevil's actor.

Firefly218
I have a feeling Charlie Cox will surprise us

pym-ftw
No offence but isn't that old news?

That last bit about marvel not planning to do anything with Big Hero 6 could bite them in the @ss if that movie does wreck it ralph or even Frozen level success.

Kazenji
Too bad about that Defenders show it won't be using the line-up from the comics, But i suppose it could happen later on.

pym-ftw
They don't have Namor or Surfer, hopefully after FF we could see an annihilators mini series to lead into a Galactus movie.

Kazenji
Thought they did have Namor now and Kevin Feige is sorting things out from Universal Studio's, Something along those lines.

Kazenji
http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Rights-Namor-Movie-Back-Marvel-Mostly-66323.html

sounds like they could do a TIH deal where Marvel could use the character in a movie and Universal distributes.

Sounds a bit confusing for Marvel to mess around with right now when they have so many other properties they can use.

If they ever get Silver Surfer back then they'd likely be more interested.

Kazenji
Better off doing a Invaders movie.

pym-ftw
I wonder if Marvel can use Human Torch? Jim & Johnny are separate charactees but still.

JayDaDon
Would have been great to see human torch and Namor in Captain America.

Kazenji
Human Torch was in Captain America.

I mean an actual role instead of a cameo

Yeah I don't put much stock into that. They have the perfect blueprint to start with in the Matt Fraction Iron fist run.

That's like saying Avengers is silly compared to TDK tbh.

Daredevil has that dark, gritty, realism, grounded tone going for it, whilst Flash is just superpowered comic book fun.

Henry_Pym
Where do you guys want Rand to be Stat wise?

Do you want the more gritty DD vs Hand Ninja and Cap vs WS or something more akin to a Kung fu Spider-Man?

JayDaDon
The run by Brubaker and Fraction showed the perfect power level for Iron fist in a movie or show in my opinion. DD should handle grounded while Iron fist is more over the top.

BTW, saw Pacific Rim, I could really see Charlie Hunnam as Danny.
