Marvel and Netflix recently announced a partnership which will result in four new Marvel TV shows; Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.

These four shows will eventually lead to The Defenders mini-series

My casting choices
Luke Cage - Michael Jai White
Daredevil - Richard Madden
Jessica Jones - Tatiana Maslany
Iron Fist - A cheaper and younger Jean-Claude Van Damme maybe

What do you guys think

In regards to Iron Fist maybe Alex Pettyfer. But obviously the actor will need a heavy MA background.

I heard about this venture a while back and got very excited. TV is the future of comic book entertainment.
And SHIELD is lacking. Fun but lacking in pushing the universe ahead.

Interesting choice of actors though.

I was wondering why Marvel didnt want to go the Heroes for Hire route, but they know better than me obviously. Im stoked for these new shows coming on netflix

Street level New York heroes are the true route into expanding the universe. It's just a shame Marvel doesn't have access to mutants and Spiderman.
It's a travesty personally. Damn Capitalism.

Imagine a TV series with access to all mentioned. It would be an epic ratings winner.

Marvel may not have spidey, however they do have recently acquired ghost rider and the punisher. If they bring in Thomas Jane as the Punisher and ghost rider for co-star purposes, not to mention Avenger/SHIELD cameos, they will have themselves epic ratings.

Im very excited! I like movies but im a much bigger fan of TV shows. Even a small 13 episode series that is only half an hour per episode has the ability to develop stories and characters more in depth then most movies. Not to mention most movies only make it to 2-3 movies while TV shows can last for 3-5 seasons. So I think this is a great idea! Especially being on Netflix where they upload all episodes at once for there original series.

Iron Fist should be Ray Park

Luke Cage, not sure

Jessica Jones, some hot babe

Foggy Nelson has been cast

Some guy Elden Henson. I don't approve.

Will these shows be in the MCU continuity?

Yes. Marvel have made that clear.

However they might have a different tone to the movies. And don't expect Thor or Hulk to be showing up for an episode.

They'll be more mature and graphic than traditional Marvel movies and TV

That sounds cool. Can't wait for Daredevil. And hoping they eventually do Blade as well.

Going for the 1970's feel?

This show going to be set in the 70's?
