Marvel remembers Stan Lee

Once again the axe gets hoisted back up into position having graved the neck of the show:

It's not an MCU movie but Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse is on track to get around $30m in US opening takings which is pretty solid

Sony have announced two more MCU movies from their stable will release in 2020, the dates are set as:

10 July 2020
02 October 2020

With the state of Sony's current slate it's being taken as a given that one of those slots is for Morbius: The Living Vampire and the other for Venom 2

Sony races to get Venom out before Xmas on home media, got to love the marketing approach though:

Also... dare I even mention the thought of another CU on the way?

With Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse looking to debut well, Sony is said to be heavily moving forward already with a sequel to that film and it's first spin-off which will focus on three female Spider characters, likely Spider-Gwen as one of them.

Netflix have announced they have cancelled Daredevil meaning you might as well close the curtains on The Punisher and Jessica Jones as well now. It's now pretty clear that none of the Netflix Marvel shows will receive any closure and their Marvel output is coming to a close.

Yep. All part of marvels plan to bring it all to the PG rated Disney streaming service.

Boring!

It baffles me though as wasn't Daredevil the most well-regarded of the four series?

Perhaps Disney will do something interesting with these properties rather than just make them homogenised.

Well as SF says, their Marvel output could be coming to a close, especially with Disney gearing up for its own service. And with Netflix being so secretive on numbers, who knows if the shows were even working for them. I wouldn't be surprised if even Marvel don't know that. I know Dreamworks were being told nothing when it came to their Netflix shows. With that many shows in quick succession, they committed to a lot of money and while that shows an early faith, it also presents a target when it comes to saving money.

Part of the problem concerns how Netflix translate watches to profit, because it must be a complicated picture. I mean in theory, Netflix's "perfect customer" is someone who subscribes but watches nothing, because they yield the biggest revenue with the lowest costs.

Their back-end telemetry must be pretty good, in terms of how they analyse it.

Netflix is so secretive about stuff but with Disney soon to be yanking all their content off Netflix it seems a given that things have soured between the two and presumably it became unlikely that Netflix would get more beyond the current shows. With Iron Fist and Luke Cage warranting the axe already Netflix presumably thinks the other shows aren't worth it as ongoing concerns as it seems Daredevil was still the most popular entry which is why the end is predicted for Punisher and Jessica Jones. Personally I have no doubt, they're 100% dead too, I can't see Disney picking up on them at all down the line. Hell, when it comes to the TV content, I'm still half expecting them to retcon the TV shows entirely when the films feel the need to use elements of them one day.
