Marvel on NetFlix: Luke Cage Teaser, Iron Fist Casting, & Daredevil Reactions

Marvel’s television department is absolutely killing it on NetFlix.

Now three seasons into their run, things have thus far continued to get progressively better. Starting last spring with Daredevil, they set a different tone from the other Marvel properties, and delivered some serious fan-service. Great casting, brutal action sequences, addictively binge-worthy. November saw follow-up Jessica Jones successfully expand the television universe. Now, just this past weekend we were delivered the third installment – Daredevil season 2. The reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, especially in reference to Frank Castle.

NetFlix Releases Final Trailer for Daredevil’s Second Season

Matt Murdock, Foggy Nelson, and Karen Page attacked from different angles in season one, and their efforts combined to bring down the Kingpin and deliver us an excellent new series to binge. It was the first of the new Marvel shows on the streaming giant NetFlix, and it exceeded the expectations of most fans, setting a tone that Jessica Jones was able to beautifully followup.

Now here we are, into year two of Marvel’s NetFlix lineup, and before the Luke Cage show premieres September 30th, fan outcry has forced a second showing from the devil of Hell’s Kitchen. Today, the final trailer before Friday’s release dropped…

New Daredevil Season 2 Trailers Feature the Rise of the Hand

You know, you’re one bad day away from being me.

After a stellar freshman effort, the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen is set to return to NetFlix, this time with Elektra and the Punisher in tow. Now less than a month away, Matt Murdock and company will again star in a marathon of NetFlix binge-bait. And while promotional stuff was slow to appear the last few months, it’s now coming out at a remarkable rate. Posters and trailers and the promise of satisfaction for those who doubted that show runners could duplicate the quality of the first season.

Happy Chinese New Year From Us, But More Importantly From Daredevil

Chinese New Year is awesome, for me at least, being Chinese and all. There’s great food, family, money, drinking, dancing… you get the point. But the people at Netflix wanted everyone to be able to enjoy Chinese New Year this year with some promos for the upcoming second season of Daredevil.

Marvel’s Daredevil: NetFlix Releases Teaser Trailer and Actual Premiere Date

Lawyer by day, vigilante by night.

Not only is Daredevil returning, but it looks like we’ll be heading back to Hell’s Kitchen sooner than anticipated. Originally, the assumption was that Daredevil’s second season would premiere sometime in April, much like the first season did. Then, a couple of days ago, we seemed to have “confirmation” that the show was coming on March 25th, pitted against Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.  Now, with the release of this new teaser, it would seem the actual date is a week earlier; March 18, 2016. That’s only 10 weeks away!

As for the trailer, comic fans may get a familiar feel there from imagery compared to the books. Check it out…

Marvel’s NetFlix Lineup: Daredevil S2 Return, Jessica Jones’ Future, & Luke Cage’s Change of Venue

Think villains are rough? Trying facing the real-world networks. That’s what Marvel characters Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage encountered as their series underwent the scrutiny of parent television company Netflix. (We dealt with Iron Fist’s issues like racial background in an earlier post.)

For weeks, Daredevil fans have been forced to wait impatiently to find out when season two was supposed to start. Waiting hit a frenzy with shots of the violent vigilante Punisher and the enigmatic and future squeeze / love interest Elektra hit the Internet.
