Loki, Scarlet Witch, Other Marvel Heroes to Get Own TV Series on Disney Streaming Service (EXCLUSIVE)

Disney is enlisting Earth’s Mightiest Heroes as the company prepares to launch its upcoming streaming service. The entertainment giant is in early development on an ambitious plan for a number of limited series centered on popular characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These series will likely include shows centered on Loki and the Scarlet Witch, along with other beloved superheroes who have yet to appear in their own standalone movies.

Marvel and Disney had no comment.

There’s an important distinction from other Marvel small screen efforts, however. The actors who portrayed these heroes and villains in the Avengers films and their spin-offs, such as Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen, are expected to play them in the streaming shows. Moreover, though sources close to the production are staying mum on the cost of the programming, the budgets are expected to be hefty rivaling those of a major studio productions. Each series is expected to include six to eight episodes. Marvel Studios will produce the shows and Kevin Feige, the guru of all things MCU, is expected to take a hands-on role in their development.

The pricey gamble with one of the crown jewels of the Disney film empire is a sign of how much the company has riding on its direct-to-consumer platform. As companies such as Netflix and Amazon continue to grow their user base, Disney is trying to find a way to establish a toehold in the streaming revolution upending Hollywood. The company has kept the details of the service close to the vest, beyond saying that it will likely cost less than Netflix and will launch at some point in late 2019.

Disney has already started to unwind its licensing deals in order to put as much premium content on the platform as possible. That’s meant that the company is forfeiting billions of dollars in profit, as well as shouldering the cost of developing the technology. The company has announced a number of high-profile projects, including a Star Wars series overseen by “Jungle Book” director Jon Favreau, a show based on “High School Musical,” and a live-action “Lady and the Tramp” film. The company also plans to offer several new releases when it launches, including its live-action “Dumbo” film and “Captain Marvel.”

Many of these projects are expensive bets. The Star Wars series will reportedly cost $100 million and the movies are expected to carry budgets north of $25 million. However, Disney has to spend big to make an impression. Netflix, its main rival, has 125 million subscribers globally and has lured top talent like Ryan Murphy (“American Horror Story”), Kenya Barris (“Black-ish”), and Shonda Rhimes (“Grey’s Anatomy”) to its platform with record-setting deals.

The Marvel series are in early development and writers have yet to be attached to the projects. Marvel TV Studios and Disney have been active with shows that include ABC’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and Netflix’s “Daredevil,” but sources say those shows will stay under Marvel TV banner with these limited series set under Marvel Studios.

Storylines for each series are still being teased out, but Disney appears to be holding back some significant fire power for the big screen. Insiders stress the Avengers that have gotten their own movies like Iron Man and Captain America will not be featured in the series with the studios focusing on characters who have served as second tier characters in the MCU.

When all is said and done, the Avengers shows could be the streaming service’s most ambitious project both in terms of their scope and budget. Most important, it gives the service something that will attract comic book fans and represents the type of content Netflix would love to get its hands on.

DES SÉRIES TV LOKI ET SCARLET WITCH EN PRÉPARATION POUR LE SERVICE DE STREAMING DISNEY PLAY

Attendu pour l'année 2019, le futur service de streaming de Disney, Disney Play, n'a pas encore dévoilé l'ensemble de ses contenus exclusifs attendus, et de premiers détails du site Variety nous apprennent que le tout s'annonce ambitieux.

Selon un rapport détaillé du média, Disney et Marvel Studios comptent créer des séries TV autour de personnages secondaires du MCU (ou disons, qui n'ont pas eu l'exposition la plus forte sur grand écran), avec deux principaux projets en préparation : une série pour Loki, et une seconde pour Scarlet Witch. Là où l'accent est important, c'est qu'il s'agit bien de séries consacrées aux personnages du MCU, et que Tom Hiddleston et Elizabeth Olsen sont donc attendus pour reprendre leurs rôles respectifs dans ces séries.

Avec un budget conséquent, et sous la bannière Marvel Studios, les séries feront entre six et huit épisodes et seront également supervisées par Kevin Feige, chef d'orchestre du MCU. Si Loki et Scarlet Witch sont les premiers personnages en vue pour le service Disney Play, il faudrait s'attendre à ce que d'autres aient droit au traitement par la suite - en revanche, les séries leur sont dédiées, et il ne faudra pas trop compter sur les caméos de personnages de plus grande envergure (en d'autres termes : les Avengers ne passeront pas dire coucou).

L'ensemble témoigne en tout cas d'ambitions très manifestes de la part de Marvel Studios (et donc de Disney) pour venir concurrencer les géants déjà installés que sont Netflix ou Amazon Prime Video, Pour l'instant, les projets n'ont pas encore de scénaristes rattachés et sont toujours en début de développement, mais au fur et à mesure du rapprochement du lancement de Disney Play, il faudra s'attendre à ce que de nouvelles informations nous arrivent. A suivre, et de près.

Chris Evans to star in new Apple thriller series Defending Jacob

Captain America is leaving the Avengers behind for a new series on Apple.

Chris Evans will star in and executive produce Defending Jacob, a limited drama series based on William Landay’s 2012 best-selling novel of the same name. The story is centered on a lawyer whose son is arrested for stabbing a classmate, leading the father to take drastic measures. The Imitation Game‘s Oscar-winning filmmaker Morten Tyldum will direct the series, but no further details were given on casting or airdate of the project.

This is Evans’ first major television role since 2000’s The Opposite of Sex miniseries. The actor will appear as Captain America in the fourth Avengers film next year and is then expected to hang up his shield. His other films in development include the post-World War II drama The Devil All the Time, in which he’ll reunite with his fellow Avenger Tom Holland (Spider-Man).

Evans is the latest high-profile name to come aborad Apple’s growing original series roster, joining the likes of Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, Octavia Spencer, Jason Momoa and Oprah.

It is still not known when these series will debut and how Apple will distribute them, but the emergence of the tech company in Hollywood has piqued the industry’s interest as it presents stiff competition to the likes of Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, HBO, and basic cable networks in the race to deliver prestige television.

Captain America Star Chris Evans Cast In Rian Johnson's 'Knives Out'

Captain America star Chris Evans will join James Bond star Daniel Craig in Knives Out, the next effort from Star Wars: The Last Jedi writer-director Rian Johnson, Deadline reports.

Johnson produces with partner Ram Bergman (Looper, The Last Jedi) and scripts the project, described as a “modern day murder mystery in the classic whodunit style.” The filmmaker will helm Knives Out before turning his attention towards directing the first installment of a mysterious new Star Wars trilogy planned at Lucasfilm.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the film is expected to shoot year. Craig will shoot Knives Out before putting in work on the still-untitled Bond 25.

Details on Evans’ role are not yet known. His casting comes after wrapping filming on Avengers 4 Thursday, fulfilling his original multi-year deal with Marvel Studios.

A sentimental tweet published by Evans Thursday morning suggests the longtime Captain America star will be exiting the role of the star-spangled superhero, who has long been pegged as an expected casualty in the chapter-ending Avengers 4.

“It was an emotional day to say the least,” Evans wrote. “Playing this role over the last 8 years has been an honor. To everyone in front of the camera, behind the camera, and in the audience, thank you for the memories! Eternally grateful.”

During his eight-year tenure as the character since first headlining 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, Evans headlined Snowpiercer and Before We Go, which he directed, as well as romantic comedy Playing It Cool and drama Gifted.

The star next has thriller The Red Sea Diving Resort, where he stars alongside Ben Kingsley and Michael Kenneth Williams, and is set for Antonio Campos’ horror-thriller The Devil All the Time, where he’ll feature alongside Mia Wasikowska, Robert Pattinson, and Spider-Man star Tom Holland. Evans booked Greenland during Cannes, which will team him with District 9 and Chappie director Neill Blomkamp.

Johnson, meanwhile, has been been developing Knives Out since before The Last Jedi.

“I do have a couple of well-developed ideas, movies in my head that I had before [Star Wars] came around that I need to find time to do,” Johnson told CinemaBlend earlier this year. “And whether that means squeezing one in before the next trilogy starts or what have you. I think it’s gonna be really important to do that.”

Avengers 4 opens May 3, 2019.
