With the success of
Orange is the New Black and
House of Cards, it makes sense that Netflix would enter the superhero market eventually, we just couldn't imagine they would take on something as massive as this. Starting sometime mid-2015, Netflix will begin it's first Marvel show out of five with
Daredevil.
Following it's 10 episode run, Netflix will produce three more shows, one each for Marvel heroes Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist. At the culmination of these four shows, the "Street-Level" Marvel heroes (as they've been dubbed) will meet up in the mini-series event
the Defenders. Picture it like a Netflix exclusive, TV version of
The Avengers.
While there is no trailer set for the premiere of Daredevil, there are some choice behind the scenes photos.
You Should Watch It If: You love the MCU, but would prefer to spend whole weekends binge watching your favorite heroes.
You Should Not Watch It If: You're over 50 and still pay for a cable subscription. Seriously, cut the cord, guys.
Premieres: TBA May 2015, (Netflix)
