The MCU just got a lot bigger. Netflix’s live-action Marvel shows — Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, The Defenders, The Punisher, and Iron Fist — will officially move to Disney+, after leaving Netflix in February. ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will also be available on Disney’s streaming service.
The move was expected but not official until Disney+ tweeted a video teaser with the date out.
“Disney+ has served as the home for some of the most beloved brands in the industry, and the addition of these live-action shows brings more from the Marvel brand together, all in one place,” Michael Paull, President of Disney Streaming, said in a statement. “We have experienced great success with an expanded content offering on Disney+ across our global markets and are excited to continue that here in the U.S. as well by offering our consumers not only great content with the new Marvel additions, but also a set of features that help ensure a viewing experience most suitable for them and their family.”
Those features include an update on Parental Controls that restrict content with a TV-14 rating — which probably includes every single one of these shows.
All of Netflix’s Marvel shows and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fit mostly into the events of Disney’s MCU as we know it, although they haven’t all been explicitly confirmed as canon by Kevin Feige and his team. The chief exception is Daredevil, whose hero and villain both joined the MCU in December with Spider-Man: No Way Home and Hawkeye, respectively. It’s only a matter of time before he gets the whole gang together, right? Until then, we’ll catch up on the good old days with a TV-14 rating.
Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, The Punisher, and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. arrive on Disney+ March 16.
