Netflix Partners with Disney for Live-Action Marvel Series

In addition to Marvel s endeavor with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., four more of the franchise s characters Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage will be getting their screentime. Disney and Netflix announced today that they have joined forces to develop a live-action four series epic, featuring the afrorementioned heros, plus a miniseries event.  Each hero will star in their own thirteen-episode series on the streaming platform, and their storylines will converge in the miniseries finale, currently titled The Defenders, said to reimagine a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.
