seek to be surprised . Really , just sample . But it ’s not quite as simple as you might mean , even if you were surprised .

In the endless hell year of 2018 the fact that Netflix turned to Thanos and asked him to catch in veneration as it carry off its own Marvel roll feels like it was ancient history . The cancellation ofIron Fist , Luke Cage , and thenDaredevilseemingly out of nowhere forget devotee not only demand why , but also usurp that these shows — and presumablyJessica JonesandThe Punisher , whenever those eventually join their comrade in the invalidate peck — were being prim out for a splashy comeback on Disney ’s own upcoming streaming service , Disney+ .

And while it ’s not a sure thing quite yet , it seems like that could be an choice on the table — at least , according to Kevin Mayer , Disney ’s chairperson for its direct - to - consumer deals . Speaking toThe Hollywood Reporterin a wide - graze interview this workweek , Mayer did n’t exactly reassert that it would happen — in fact he observe explicitly that nothing has happened yet — but tantalize that the House of Mouse is at the very least having thoughts about renovate the Netflix - Marvel cosmos on Disney+ :

They are very high-pitched - quality shows . We have n’t yet discuss that , but   I would say that ’s a hypothesis .

It ’s essentially the “ so you ’re telling me there ’s a hazard ” scenery from Dumb and Dumber , in Disney Executive quote form .

Nothing ’s in all likelihood been talk about quite yet give that we alsorecently learnedthat part of Marvel and Netflix ’s hand over the shows allegedly includes a waiver that , should they be cancelled , the characters involved could not look in another Marvel - produced show for at least two age . So even if Disney were more concerned than they currently are — beyond the mere possibility that Mayer mentioned — they’d have to wait a while before they could even start the process of reviving those shows , anyway .

And two years is a very retentive time — for both fans to be a little less aggrieved that the Defenders werecut down in their blossom , and for Disney itself to move on and be intrigued by other fresh Marvel undertaking , like theLokiandVision / Scarlet Witchshows . By the sentence that waiver ends , there could be a portion less interest in bringing these shows back . But for now at least , Disney would very much like to taunt the possibility while swing a subscription to Disney+ in your grimace , though .
