Marvel and Netflix

Disney recently announced that it is teaming up with Netflix to produce four thirteen-episode series featuring iconic Marvel Comics heroes such as Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. The first of these four series will not air until 2015, but after that the series will stream on-line for years to come, culminating in an epic finale called The Defenders that will include all four heroes in a fashion similar to The Avengers. What with Thor: The Dark World opening last Friday, the new television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. taking off, and with Captain America: The Winter Soldier set to release in April 2013, Disney is taking full advantage of its relationship with Marvel Studios.
