If that does happen and they start to think about other NETFLIX marvel characters they HAVE to find a way to get Krysten Ritter and Mike Colter back as Luke & Jessica. If not I would wait a while before introducing them with NEW actors playing them. Because Krysten and Mike played those characters so well to the point that they became Luke Cage and Jessica Jones just like Chadwick Boseman became T'Challa. I remember in a interview Krysten and Mike mentioned people in public at times would call them Luke and Jessica. That means you've done a GREAT job at portraying these characters.

The thing is however do they want to come back? We know Mike Colter has since moved on to something else since Luke Cage was canceled but would he be up for returning? Would Krysten Ritter want to return?

Hope so. I mean they LOVED those characters. Time and circumstances always play a part in people's decision. So we will see how these things unfold.

I think they'd come back for a chance to be part of the proper MCU. Marvel is a career booster that nobody in Hollywood could really afford to walk away from.

We'll see I guess both on if they incorporate the Netflix characters into the MCU & if the actors reprise their roles if they do. The only character they should recast if they incorporate the Netflix characters into MCU is Iron Fist IMO. If no recasting for that character then keep him as a limited cameo character especially since Shang Chi is now being pushed as the martial arts character of the MCU.

WarnerMedia announced that it is releasing its entire 2021 film slate on HBO Max, which will include blockbuster films such as The Suicide Squad, Godzilla vs Kong, Matrix 4, Dune and much more.

The WarnerMedia films will be available for their first months on HBO Max while also viewing in theaters. Following the first month, each film will only be available in domestic and international theaters.

"We're living in unprecedented times which call for creative solutions, including this new initiative for the Warner Bros. Pictures Group," said Ann Sarnoff, Chair and CEO, WarnerMedia Studios and Networks Group. "No one wants films back on the big screen more than we do. We know new content is the lifeblood of theatrical exhibition, but we have to balance this with the reality that most theaters in the U.S. will likely operate at reduced capacity throughout 2021. With this unique one-year plan, we can support our partners in exhibition with a steady pipeline of world-class films, while also giving moviegoers who may not have access to theaters or aren’t quite ready to go back to the movies the chance to see our amazing 2021 films. We see it as a win-win for film lovers and exhibitors, and we're extremely grateful to our filmmaking partners for working with us on this innovative response to these circumstances."

"After considering all available options and the projected state of moviegoing throughout 2021, we came to the conclusion that this was the best way for WarnerMedia's motion picture business to navigate the next 12 months," said Jason Kilar, CEO, WarnerMedia. "More importantly, we are planning to bring consumers 17 remarkable movies throughout the year, giving them the choice and the power to decide how they want to enjoy these films. Our content is extremely valuable, unless it’s sitting on a shelf not being seen by anyone. We believe this approach serves our fans, supports exhibitors and filmmakers, and enhances the HBO Max experience, creating value for all."



"This hybrid exhibition model enables us to best support our films, creative partners and moviegoing in general throughout 2021," said Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group. "We have a fantastic, wide ranging slate of titles from talented and visionary filmmakers next year, and we’re excited to be able get these movies in front of audiences around the world. And, as always, we'll support all of our releases with innovative and robust marketing campaigns for their theatrical debuts, while highlighting this unique opportunity to see our films domestically via HBO Max as well."

Damn Streaming Wars are no longer a Cold War. The War has gone Hot, and AT&T declares total war on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus and Apple TV.

This solves HBO Maxs content issue. They launched with jack shit and you cannot even blame the virus. They need D&D not to ruin Game of Thrones and had that sequel or prequel ready to go or Harry Potter show at Hogwarts ready for launch.
 



DC is starting 2021 off with a bang, giving fans a glimpse into futures both near and far, full of current and new characters as the publisher announced plans today for DC Future State, a two-month, line-wide event beginning in January. Through February 2021, the full title lineup will feature a combination of monthly and twice-monthly oversize anthologies, as well as a monthly schedule of miniseries and one-shots.

They should re-introduce all of the Netflix MCU characters in different movies and series. Daredevil should popup in Spider-Man 3, I mean it would be perfect to cast him as the now fugitive Peter Parker's lawyer.

Luke Cage should pop up in the She-Hulk series since they are also both based in New York and their characters had a history in the comics.

Jessica Jones should popup in alongside Luke in She-Hulk or as a fellow detective in the Moonknight series.

Iron Fist is a no-brainer for the Shang-Chi movie since the rumors are that the movie is about an Enter The Dragon style martial art tournament.

The Punisher would be a great fit in the Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

With them all reestablished in the MCU it would be easy to integrate them into other bigger projects.

I would love to see the Netflix Marvel series saved if at all possible.
 
Disney+'s Hawkeye Casts a Marvel Villain and Two New Avengers


hawkeye-echo-header.jpg


Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld's Hawkeye Marvel Cinematic Universe series for Disney+ has announced the addition of new cast members, including Vera Farmiga, Florence Pugh, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Alaqua Cox and Zahn McClarnon.

Farmiga will play Eleanor Bishop, the mother of Steinfeld's Kate Bishop; Fee plays a character named Kazi, who is possibly the Marvel villain named Kazimierz Kazimierczak, aka Clown; Dalton portrays Jack Duquesne, the Avenger known as Swordsman, who was a mentor to Hawkeye in the comics; Pugh will reprise her Black Widow role of Yelena Belova, the sister to Scarlett Johansson's titular character; Cox plays Maya Lopez, aka the Marvel hero Echo, who is a deaf Native American who can copy another fighter's movements; and McClarnon is William Lopez, who is most likely Echo's father, Willie "Crazy Horse" Lincoln.


There were rumors that Hawkeye was looking to cast a deaf and Native American, First Nation, Indigenous or Latinx actor for a mysterious role, with reports circling the debut of Echo.

Though Steinfeld has not officially been announced in the role of Kate Bishop, set videos show her alongside Renner's Clint Barton and Pizza Dog. Hi-res photos also reveal Kate Bishop's specific weapon of choice, which is a recurve bow. This is a stark contrast from the compound bow Clint uses in the MCU films. The actor added fuel to the fire with a recent social media post that included a bow-and-arrow emoji and featured an image evocative of the character from the comics. As for Lucky the Pizza Dog, his inclusion was most recently teased by Renner, who shared a photo of apparent Hawkeye dog treats.

Hawkeye stars Jeremy Renner reprising his role as Clint Barton, a role he first started playing in 2011's Thor. The series is expected to follow Clint as he trains Kate Bishop to become the new Hawkeye. The show is also expected to examine Clint's time as Ronin, the superhero identity he took during the events of Avengers: Endgame.

Hawkeye stars Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton and Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop. The Disney+ series has yet to receive a premiere date.

Can't wait to see this one, but I guess I'd better watch Black Widow first! :)

That's exactly what it is, The executives at WB did a cost-benefit analysis, and they realized that completed films that can't be widely distributed to theaters can't bring in any money, however, $14.99 per month subscription fees is at least some revenue, and even if HBOMax only gets half of the subscribers of Netflix that would still mean about $1.25 billion per month in revenue, as opposed to $0 dollars for movies nobody can see in theaters.
