Hello, and welcome back to Featured News. Okay, I think I’m going to change the format of this series, from where I went really in depth on one story, to three smaller stories. Anyways, let’s get to it.
The highly-acclaimed Marvel/ Netflix original Daredevil, as many know, has spawned an entire planned universe including Jessica Jones, Luke Cage (due out at the end of this month), Iron Fist, The Punisher, and the subject of this part, The Defenders. My sources tell me that the writers of The Defenders are currently in the midst of writing the second to last episode, which means casting and film must be close, but it looks like we won’t be getting the miniseries possibly until early 2018, which could push all the other shows back, including a third season of Daredevil.
The CEO of Time Warner, Jeff Bewkes, actually confirmed this week that the Batman solo film is about a year and a half away. That would make the release of it March 2018, which is actually when the Flash film will be releasing, so it realistically is probably on the October 5th, 2018 date that WB sent aside for a DC film after Batman v. Superman, which would be a perfect date for that film, considering it’s supposed horror movie feel and proximity to Halloween. The script is already finished, so all WB would have to do is sure up a director, whether Ben Affleck is helming or not, and round out the cast, and start film in mid-summer time to be finished a year before release, as all the DC films have been trying to do.
Luke Cage debuted to much avail on September 30th. It was truly fantastic, and you can check out my reviews on that after this. It would make sense that Season Two of the show would debut in 2018, after The Defenders, and after Daredevil and Jessica Jones get another season. I would hope it would debut earlier, but that is highly unlikely.
Welp, as always, this has been fun. Join me Wednesday when I go over my expectations for Doctor Strange, and Friday, you can check on my theories on said Marvel film. Anyways, see you later, and remember, have a nerdy day.
