Marvel shows, including 'Daredevil,' 'Jessica Jones' and 'Luke Cage,' landing on Disney+ March 16
For fans lamenting the acclaimed Marvel series that left Netflix on Feb. 28, there's no need to worry. They're coming to Disney+.
The series -- "Daredevil," "Jessica Jones," "Luke Cage," "The Punisher," "Iron Fist" and "The Defenders" -- will be joining Disney's service March 16.
The streaming service has announced they'll land on the platform, along with ABC's "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," two weeks before the debut of another superhero series, "Moon Knight."
"Daredevil," the first to debut back in 2015, was an immediate fan favorite. Charlie Cox's portrayal as blind lawyer Matt Murdock, who moonlights as the titular vigilante, was such a hit that he officially entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe in "Spider-Man: No Way Home."
Similarly, Vincent D'Onofrio's iconic "Daredevil" heavy Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, appeared in Disney+'s "Hawkeye."
Jon Bernthal's portrayal of Frank Castle/The Punisher was also universally praised.
He's said he'd be "thrilled" for an MCU bow, provided the brutal, conflicted character isn't watered down for an all-ages audience.
Fans are also wondering whether we could see a return of Krysten Ritter as the super-powered P.I. Jessica Jones, and Mike Colter as the unbreakable Harlem hero Luke Cage.
Back when "Marvel's Jessica Jones" premiered in 2015, Ritter told ABC Audio: "I do love this character. I feel it's the role of a lifetime. As an actress I got to do everything that I always wished to do, but have never found all in one part."
"I feel like, you're either like, doing comedy, or doing drama. This is doing drama, looking bada-- and cool and also being funny sometimes," she continued. "It's more a drama than a comedy, but I get a couple of one-liners in there -- and also doing action. I mean, that's so rare to get all of these things in one part."
Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
