3. Keep It The Same!

History hasn’t been kind to the Netflix Marvel series, but upon release the reviews from critics and audiences were mostly positive. So, while we’ve listed several ways that Disney and Marvel could integrate these characters to the Marvel Cinematic Universe through new series and team-ups, there’s one other simple solution – just keep it as it is.

Daredevil and Jessica Jones, the first two series out the gate from the Netflix deal, became the most popular of the set. But many fans criticized the pacing of the series, and it seems like Marvel have learned their lesson with recent Disney+ output. For example, WandaVision worked perfectly as a one-off limited series, and each episode varied in length.

While Falcon and the Winter Soldier is set to return for another series, it benefitted from only being six episodes, compared to the whopping 13 episodes of each Netflix/Marvel lead series. A return to Disney+ for Jessica Jones and Daredevil could be written in a way to acknowledge past events but serve as a reboot to new viewers.
