No Daredevil Until 2020?

Canceled Netflix Marvel Shows Have A Two Year Wait For Disney Streaming Service.

There is a clause in the contract that prevents any Netflix Marvel show from moving to Disney+ until two years after cancellation.

For Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and Daredevil this means the year 2020.

For The Punisher and Jessica Jones this could mean 2021 with their next seasons already in the works.

But with Scarlet Witch, Loki, Winter Soldier, and Falcon shows already planned for Disney+, the timing might be just what the all powerful mouse has in mind.

Birds Of Prey movie adds Chris Messina to the cast.

Messina will play the character Victor Zsasz.

Victor Zsasz is known to kill with a knife, cuts a tally in his own flesh to keep track of his kills, and feels that he is doing his victims a favor by freeing them from existence.

Chris Messina is known mostly for playing Danny Castellano on The Mindy Project.

Birds Of Prey is not slated for release until February of 2020.

Did you think that Ian Ziering's career was over again now that the Sharknado series is over?

Ziering will play Daniel Cassidy in Swamp Thing for the DC Universe digital subscription service.

The show will also feature Crystal Reed for her second character within the DC Universe (she also plays Sofia Falcone on Gotham).

The series will be written by Mark Verheiden and Gary Dauberman.

Doctor Who will not release new episodes in 2019.

The BBC has officially announced that the next series (or what we call seasons in the United States) won't be released until 2020.

BBC News Entertainment Correspondent Lizo Mzimba has said that it is because “Doctor Who has almost uniquely complex filming requirements and a lengthy post-production period.”

The show does seem to be becoming a bigger and bigger challenge to make with recent series getting a reduction of episodes, increasing gaps of time between each series, and even specials becoming less often.

There was even rumors that showrunner Chris Chibnall threatened to leave if he wasn't given more time on the next series.

Do you believe this or do you think it's just excuses?

More cast members have been announced for The Mandalorian.

We already knew that the show will star Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, and is being created by Jon Favreau.

Today they also announced the casting of Giancarlo Esposito, Nick Nolte and Werner Herzog.

Herzog may be best known as a legendary director, but was only added as an actor.

At a rumored cost of $100 million for a 10-episode season, The Mandalorian should be one of the flagship- shows of the upcoming Disney streaming service.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is returning to Supernatural.

Don't get too excited, it's only for episode 300.

He will of course be returning as John Winchester, the father of Sam and Dean Winchester.

Morgan has talked about returning to the show for over a decade.

The last time he was on the show was the Season 2 finale All Hell Breaks Loose.

Part two of that finale aired on May 17th 2007.

Even back then scenes with Jeffrey Dean Morgan had to be filmed weeks in advance using blue screen due to the actor's limited availability.

The 300th episode, titled "Lebanon," will air Thursday, February 7th.

They canceled Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Daredevil, and probably The Defenders.

So fans are pretty worried about Jessica Jones and The Punisher.

Well fans have at least one more season of The Punisher as Netflix have added a very short teaser at the end of their official January preview reel.

Immediately after the video was posted, The Punisher himself Jon Bernthal posted an image of him as the character.

Many have connected a lack of social media activity to previously canceled Marvel shows on Netflix.

Will fans talk up this new season of The Punisher enough to get it a season three?

The Predator raked in $160.5 million at the box office after a budget of $88 million when it was released in theaters just a few months ago.

This seems to be impressive enough to get The Predator its own Christmas special.

Ok, it's actually going to be aired as a Holiday Short during BoJack Horseman on Wednesday December 19th.

This will be one day after The Predator is released on Blu-Ray December 18th.

Am I the only one more interested in this short than I was in the fourth sequel to this movie franchise?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
