- February 18th, 2021 marked two years since Netflix canceled Jessica Jones and The Punisher, which means the rights to the characters have been returned to Disney.
- Disney hasn't said anything about bringing these characters to the MCU, but they have strong ties to some of the franchise's biggest heroes, including Captain Marvel and Spider-Man.
- Charlie Cox is rumored to be reprising his role as Daredevil in the next Spider-Man movie.
If you've been watching WandaVision on Disney+, you know that Marvel Studios is at least beginning to toy with the idea of bringing mutants to the MCU. For decades, 20th Century Fox owned the movie rights to the X-Men, but when Disney bought Fox in 2019, the rights were part of the deal. Disney can now do what it likes with Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, and any other mutants, but those weren't the only characters that Marvel couldn't touch.
As we discussed last November, when Disney teamed up with Netflix to make shows about Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, the contract stipulated that the rights to those characters wouldn't return to Disney until two years had passed since the respective shows had been canceled. That's why fans started campaigning for Disney to bring back Charlie Cox as Daredevil last November -- two years after Daredevil was canceled by Netflix.
Daredevil may have been Netflix's most popular Marvel show, but it was actually canceled prior to Jessica Jones and The Punisher. And now, three months later, Disney gets those characters back as well.
