A very high production values, with recognizable movie characters / big name actors, MCU TV show would be a great showcase for their streaming service.

Shout out to me being a dumbass and thinking these would be animation when I first read the title, feels bad.
Same here, because we've been conditioned to think there can be no porosity between the MCU movies and tv shows.

I had guessed that we would see exclusive smaller scale MCU movies on the service in a previous box office thread, looks like I was kinda close.

I feel bad about Daredevil and the Punisher (and to a muuuuch lesser extent, JJ and Luke Cage -haven't watched Iron Fist, even though I like the character a lot). I've never had hopes about Charlie Cox's Matt showing up in the films, nor I really wanted it until quite recently, but man.

This is very exciting tbh.

"oh this is probably some animation thing, cool"
"wait it's not"
"wait they actually want the film actors"
"wait it's got a decent budget"
"wait, FEIGE HAS HANDS ON?"

Scarlet Witch & the Vision would be dope. Hell, if they wanted to they could probably mix together their demon baby storyline with Tom King's Vision run and make for some damn good TV.

This would explain Disney/Marvel original plan to only have Avengers 4 in 2019 and no other movie, they were planing to have TV shows instead all this time.

TV shows with "drama" is a great way to fill the gap between movies without doing more big budget "action" movies.

So my future will be Netflix and DisneyPlay.

Disney isn't something one considers when balancing the universe. (Looking at All these Marvel shows) But this... does put a smile on my face.

So let's say Sony decides to get up their own ass and take away Spider-Man from Marvel after their deal is up.

Could Marvel transition Holland's Spidey to a TV series? Do they own the TV rights for that character?

Maybe like Fox with X-Men, Sony has the rights to the Live Action versions of the Spider-Man characters, so including TV and streaming...

This may have changed in 2015, but as of 2011 Sony owns the TV production rights except for Short Term Animation rights which expired on July 15, 2009.

6.e. Television Series Production Rights.

6.e(i) Extension of Television Series Production Rights. If prior to the expiration of the Picture Production Term SPE has commenced principal photography of one or more Television Series for initial exhibition in the United States and initially produced in the English-language (each such Television Series so commenced will constitute an "Applicable Series"), then notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 6, the Production Term with respect to each Applicable Series, and any and all other Television Series (including series not initially produced until after the expiration of the Picture Production Term, not initially produced in the English language and/or not intended for initial exhibition in the United States), shall be deemed to extend until the later of (A) the end of the last consecutive broadcast year (up to a maximum of 5 broadcast years) in which the applicable Minimum Number of new episodes of the last such Applicable Series are produced, or (B) the end of the first broadcast year in which anyone other than SPE (or its designee(s)) commences principal photography of a theatrical motion picture based upon the Property. With respect to Television Series intended for exhibition in prime time, the "Minimum Number" shall be 13 episodes (or such smaller number as is ordered by the applicable network, but in no event less than 6) for the first broadcast year, 13 episodes (or such smaller number as is ordered by the applicable network, but in no event less than 6) for the second broadcast year and 22 episodes for each subsequent broadcast year. With respect to Television Series not intended for exhibition in prime time, the "Minimum Number" shall be 13 episodes for the first broadcast year, 13 episodes for the second broadcast year and 8 episodes for each subsequent broadcast.

6.e(ii) Short-Form Animation. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Production Period with respect to Short-Form Animation expired on July 15, 2009 and that by reason thereof SPE has no further right to produce Short-Form Animation based on the Property after such date.

A Wanda series could be cool but I'm not that into the idea of a Loki series. Takes away from his death in IW but also what more can you really do with the guy at this point? I felt like Ragnarok and the opening of IW tied off his character nicely.

This would explain Disney/Marvel original plan to only have Avengers 4 in 2019 and no other movie, they were planing to have TV shows instead all this time.

Marvel has three movies next year: Captain Marvel, Avengers, Spider-Man

This is pretty big news and definitely increases the value proposition of their service to me. Not that I wasn't going to subscribe anyways since my SO is a big fan of Disney and Pixar animation.

I've been enjoying the Marvel shows quite a bit, except for the film grain that is. It's gonna suck that I can't count on Netflix having these shows once Disney has their service up.

Their service is planned for next year?

Was planning on subscribing to the service anyway, but it really seems like there's going to be a ton of value here for fans of Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars current output.

And being "too big" for TV is an old, outdated concept, especially for premium service platforms. Tons of veteran, award-winning actors are doing shows on Netflix, Prime, HBO, Showtime, etc.

These shows would not be ready for 2019.

Actors are never too big to do anything if the right moneys there, and it sounds like it will.

Kind of feel like it's the opposite- the actors do movies for the paychecks but TV is more based on the quality of the material. I don't think you are getting Idris Elba to start in a Heimdall TV show.

Don't think I'd much care for a Loki series. I'm all for Scarlet Witch though. I feel that character could some extra screen time.

Marvel's Misadventures of The Grandmaster and The Collector, coming to DisneyPlay in 2019.
