At the end of 2018, there was a deal between NetFlix and Marvel companies about the fate of the MARVEL comic heroes, which were simultaneously the heroes of the series Netflix. There were five such characters: Sorvigolov, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones and punisher. They were the heroes of the eponymous series, as well as the characters of "defenders".
Although the details of the transaction were not advertised, it is known that by agreement the Marvel Studio returned the rights to superheroes, but could not use them within two years after the end of the first show shows on Netflix. Thus, Sorvigolov, an iron fist and Luke Cage can be the heroes of the filmmoven Marvel already at the end of this year, and Jessica Jones and the punitive will have to wait a few more months, the agreement on them expires only in February 2021.
The term is approaching when Kevin Faigi will be able to openly tell about the studio plans to the defenders team. And rumors appear what these plans may be. Sources of the We Got This Covered portal claim that Marvel Studio wants to keep the image of three of five characters and attract the same actors to their roles that they were filmed in the series. We are talking about Matt Murdoch / Sorvigolov performed by Charlie Cox, Jessica Jones performed by Kristen Ritter and Anti-Casle's anti-mode, which was played by John Burnal. And Luke Kage and Iron Fist are planning to "reboot", so the performers of their roles Mike Colter and Finn Jones have little chance that they will be invited to fulfill these roles.
The less time it remains to the end of the agreement, the more information will appear about Marvel Studios plans. And first of all, it is worth expecting news about the Sorvigolov, the agreement on which it expires earlier. A punisher and Jessica Jones will have to wait until next year.
