The Next Wave of Marvel Superhero Shows

Now that Netflix is out of the picture, fans wonder if there’s any future for Marvel superhero shows. It came as no surprise to see Netflix announce the cancellation of The Punisher after two seasons and Jessica Jones after the upcoming third season, fans have been expecting the axe to fall ever since the cancellations of Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and The Defenders. There’s no secret as to why, although it’s still only speculation Disney is in the process of making aggressive bids to regain control over all characters in the Marvel Universe, and with their own on-demand streaming service, Disney +, in the works, there may be another chance to see these characters in the future.

In the meantime, just what can we expect to see when it comes to new Marvel shows? Well, it’s first worth noting that the end of our beloved Marvel-Netflix alliance doesn’t mean the end of all current Marvel shows. Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been going strong for five seasons on ABC with a sixth season about to air and a seventh in pre-production. All the while Marvel's Runaways is in its second season on Hulu, and Cloak & Dagger will begin airing their second season later this year on ABC.

For the upcoming launch of Disney + Marvel is already hard at work on show focusing on such characters as Loki, the Scarlet Witch, and Falcon, which will tie in to the MCU movies. As for the characters that Netflix made us love, although the Marvel-Netflix contract stipulates that the characters can’t be used by a non-Netflix entity for two years after cancellation, we can only hope that Marvel won’t leave leave fans disappointed for too long...

Marvel movies: what to look forward to in 2019

It's been a bittersweet year for Marvel. On one hand the franchise enjoyed more huge success at the box office with movies such as Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther. However, this year also saw the passing of Marvel founder and comic book godfather Stan Lee. Lee was 94 and was famed in his later years for his cameos in many Marvel movies and in fact had a few in the can before his recent death, so Marvel fans will get a glimpse of their hero a few more times. 

With that, Marvel fans are looking ahead to 2019 to see what new offerings are in store and there are few highly anticipated releases. Here are a few of the 2019 highlights fans can look forward to.

Avengers 4

Due for release in early May, this fourth installment in the Avengers saga has yet to be given a title. It is a sequel to Infinity War and was actually filmed around the same time, however directors are remaining tight lipped as to what fans can expect.

Captain Marvel

Brie Larson stars as Carol Danvers in this eagerly awaited female-led superhero flick. When Earth is caught in the midst of an intergalactic war, Danvers emerges one of the most powerful people in the world. With aliens and non-stop action, Gemma Chan and Jude Law also starring, this is sure to be another box office hit.

Spider-Man Far From Home

A follow-up to the well received Spider-Man: Homecoming, this sees Tom Holland once again reprise the title role while Jake Gyllenhaal is one of those rumored for a villain role.
