Disney and Netflix announced today that they have joined forces to develop a live-action “four series epic,” featuring the afrorementioned heros, plus a “miniseries event.”  Each hero will star in their own thirteen-episode series on the streaming platform, and their storylines will converge in the miniseries finale, currently titled The Defenders, said to “reimagine a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.”

A similar technique used in The Avengers which draws storylines from five previous films and several Marvel heroes’ stories.

The epic will begin in 2015 with the first serial, spotlighting Daredevil, blind New York City crusader last seen onscreen in a less-than-thrilling 2003 film, played by Ben Affleck.  Daredevil will be followed by series about Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage.

The announcement is the latest news after Netflix inked a deal with Disney for subscription TV rights to all live-action and animated films beginning in 2016.  Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. can currently be seen on ABC on Tuesdays at 8PM.

The storyline of the animated series is set amidst the Star Wars – Episode III and Star Wars – Episode IV, Revenge of the Sith and A new Hope respectively, which is around two decades. It takes place during the time when the Empire is acquiring a good grip on the galaxy and searching for the remaining Jedi Knights and at the same time there is fledging revolution in the making, against the empire.

Just a few days ago we saw Disney XD showing the 16-second teaser of Star Wars Rebels and now in the Comic-Con, Ralph McQuarrie launched the concept art and the official logo of the animated series.
