New York Comic Con 2017: 10 Major Anouncements That Must Happen

4. Another Netflix Series

NYCC 2017 will no doubt be busy delving into the second seasons of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, but wouldn't it be great to hear about a potential new addition to the MCU on top of that?

At the moment it very much feels like any spin-offs or other MCU-related Netflix projects will emerge from the current lineup of shows themselves. We saw as much with Frank Castle's introduction in Daredevil Season 2, and - to make matters better - it looks as though Misty Knight and Colleen Wing could just be getting their own series as well.

That's fantastic news for all concerned, and indeed, it's brilliant that Netflix are handling expansions in the way they are. At the end of the day, it makes far more sense to introduce a character organically though an established series before throwing them into their own show. It doesn't work for everyone though, with there being certain characters who could make the leap to Netflix without being 'eased in', so to speak.

Blade, Ghost Rider and Moon Knight have all been mooted as potential candidates for their own Netflix series (certainly the former two), and while it's true that the heroes already introduced to the MCU deserve a series first, an announcement involving either of the previously mentioned characters is bound to get fans talking.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
