6 Years Later, Netflix Boss Finally Reveals The Real Reason Their Marvel Shows Didn’t Have Bigger Superhero Spectacle

:0:1

Netflix"s co-CEO finally revealed why its Marvel shows were limited in scope, 6 years after the Defenders universe ended. In 2013, a massive deal was announced between Marvel and Netflix to produce shows for the streaming service that would be connected to its larger universe. The deal led to several successful shows including Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, and The Punisher.
While many Marvel viewers wanted shows like Daredevil to continue, Netflix canceled all of its Marvel shows in February 2019 as Disney prepared to launch its streaming service, Disney+. While the Netflix shows included some mystical and supernatural elements, they felt grounded and were mainly limited to containing fight sequences within New York City. In an interview with Variety, Netflix co-CEO said its resources were limited since Disney controlled the budget. He also stated they worked with the old Marvel Television regime, which didn"t spend money freely, explaining:

On our shows, we were dealing with the old Marvel television regime, which operated independently at Disney. And they were thrifty. And every time we wanted to make the shows bigger or better, we had to bang on them. Our incentives were not well aligned. We wanted to make great television; they wanted to make money. I thought we could make money with great television.
