"Fans of the Marvel Television series recently canceled by Netflix who hope to see the shows revived on Disney+ may be out of luck," reports Variety. Sources tell the trade magazine "that the deal for the original four Marvel shows includes a clause that prevents the characters from appearing in any non-Netflix series or film for at least two years after cancellation. That means that Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist — which were all canceled this year at Netflix — could not come to the Disney streaming service until 2020 at the earliest." Variety says the chances of those characters being revived elsewhere is a "long shot." "And even if they did go to Disney+ as soon as possible," Variety reports, "they would be doing so without Jessica Jones, which is set to air its third season on Netflix sometime in 2019. If that show is canceled, which now seems likely but is by no means a guarantee, it could not go elsewhere until 2021."
