This past Friday, the Netflix equivalent of the superhero team of The Avengers dropped in the form of The Defenders with 8 episodes showcasing the combined strength of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist as they square off with one of the most powerful groups around, The Hand.

5 Marvel Netflix Series We Should Have
As we have seen, Netflix & Marvel have been doing a pretty good job with making darker, more serious series that are within the same universe as the films. With the success of 2 seasons of Daredevil and a season of Jessica Jones, it's no wonder they want to expand with adding Iron Fist and Luke Cage. If they can continue with these, they will need to expand on some other lesser known heroes and villains. I've decided that I would take a crack at 5 characters I think would make a good Netflix series. Of course, I am excluding The Punisher from this list mainly because it seems to possibly be in the works and really, who wouldn't want to watch that?!

Review: Daredevil - Season One
April 10th, 2015 was a momentous day. Netflix and Marvel gave us all thirteen episodes of the first Marvel series to hit the streaming service, Daredevil. The series stars Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and is just the beginning of a universe designed for Netflix but one that is still tied in with the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Eventually we'll see A.K.A. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron First and finally The Defenders. All of that will come in time, today I'm here to tell you what I thought of the first season of Daredevil and yes...it did wash away that horrible taste of the Ben Affleck film of the same name.
Supergirl TV Series Coming Soon?
This will be the year of Comic Book TV shows. We've had shows in the past, notably Wonder Woman, The Incredible Hulk, and Smallville. More recently we have Arrow and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. but this year we will see Gotham, Constantine, and The Flash join the fold. Netflix will premiere five shows available to stream from Marvel Television, Daredevil being the first in 2015 and then Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and eventually The Defenders. And now we're getting word that DC is shopping the idea of a Supergirl television show in the near future.
Marvel/Netflix have officially cast their Daredevil!
News has broken that Marvel/Netflix have finally found their Daredevil. Comic fans will be pleased to know that Boardwalk Empire alumni Charlie Cox has been cast to play the daring crusader known as "Daredevil". Speculation on who would play Marvel's fearless hero has been running rampant, and we can now say with certainty that the character has officially been cast! What do you think of Charlie Cox being cast as "Daredevil"? We're always interested to know what you guys are thinking so feel free to send us your opinions towards this recent revelation!
Has Ms. Marvel Been Cast?
Marvel has been busy fortifying their expansive cinematic universe. Renewing Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and ordering Agent Carter to series. They also have a slew of shows in production for Netflix, set to release in early 2015, including Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage which will culminate in a miniseries called the Defenders. Now we have "news" that ABC's 'The Middle" star Eden Sher has been to the Marvel offices and has been given stacks of comics (for reasearch?). She's also been in Twitter communication with the current writer of Ms. Marvel. Personally I'd love to see Katee Sackhoff as Ms. Marvel. Is it possible she's up for the role of Ms. Marvel? Maybe Jessica Jones? What do you guys think? Was it just a special visit to promote the finale of 'The Middle?' Was it more? Do you wanna see Ms. Marvel on the big screen?
