Netflix, Marvel, Disney Plus - Here's why MCU fans are confused?
Marvel series – Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Punisher, and The Defenders – have now been officially recognized as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Initially released on Netflix between 2015-2019, these shows have recently been integrated into the established MCU timeline on Disney Plus.
As time progresses, the Marvel universe continues to expand, with a growing array of projects on the horizon. The year 2024 commenced with the release of Echo, followed by upcoming releases such as Madame Web (a part of Sony's somewhat distinct universe) and Deadpool 3.
As Daredevil makes its official return to screens and connections are being established for future chapters in Echo, while this move may seem anticipated, it has sparked extensive discussions among fans. The integration of these shows into the MCU timeline has, for some fans, raised more questions than it has provided answers.
Numerous fans contend that certain Marvel projects have consistently been neglected, particularly those that have never been integrated into the streamlined Disney version of the franchise.
Meanwhile, Netflix is set to pull ahead of Disney+ in the race for the US advertising dollars next year as price hikes and a password-sharing crackdown pull more viewers to its ad-supported plan, an Insider Intelligence report projected, as per a Reuters report
The streaming pioneer's ad revenue will likely jump 50.3 per cent to about $1 billion next year, the report — exclusively shared with Reuters — showed.
Walt Disney's Disney+ is expected to post a 16.1 per cent rise in revenue from commercials to about $912 million in 2024, though the service will end this year
