Actors and writers might be striking simultaneously for the first time in decades, but that doesn’t mean things have slowed down in the weird, wild, and wonderful world of Marvel.
Obviously, the picket lines filling up by the day has impacted the biggest goings-on in the comic book sphere, with money once more at the forefront as a Netflix veteran wants compensated for Disney capitalizing on a popular franchise, while the DC joins Marvel in watching popular content get wiped off the face of the streaming map.
Daredevil showrunner wants what he’s due from Disney landing the Defenders Saga
Even though Netflix was happy to let Disney swoop in and secure the distribution rights to the Defenders Saga in order to bolster its own lineup of Marvel content, the key creatives behind some of its best and brightest shows don’t feel as though they got a fair shake of the financial stick.
Daredevil‘s season 1 showrunner Steven S. DeKnight revealed as much, when he admitted he was part of an audit against the Mouse House trying to ensure everybody got paid what they were due for bringing Charlie Cox’s Man Without Fear to the small screen in the first place, although time will tell if he succeeds or not.
DC joins Marvel on the streaming scrapheap, but this time it’s a big one
Not to diminish the impact of Runaways in any shape or form, but Disney Plus removing the three-season favorite from the airwaves didn’t shake the cinematic universe to its core. However, Warner Bros. jettisoning Zack Snyder’s Justice League from the Max library just might.
So far it’s only certain international markets that have been affected, but given what we’ve seen in the last half a decade and change, all hell is going to break loose if the studio decides that yanking the director’s cut fans spent years demanding from the platform in the United States is its next cost-cutting Hail Mary.
A member of the Gunn family gets drawn into a conspiracy, and it’s not James for once
Sean Gunn recently made headlines for railing against both Disney and Netflix over the way each company handles royalties, only for his initial interview to be deleted when it was made clear that Warner Bros. control the rights to Gilmore Girls and not the latter streaming service.
Naturally, that led the conspiratorial subset who view his brother James with the utmost suspicion to convince themselves Sean was behind the removal himself for the purpose of not dragging Warner Bros. through the mud, where his elder sibling is the current co-CEO of DC Studios. Just the usual, then.
The industry may be at a standstill, but you can be assured that Marvel is not, so check back tomorrow for the latest developments.
