Daughters Of The Dragon: 8 Reasons Why It Should Be Netflix's Next Marvel Series

5. There's Plenty Of Potential For Marvel To Do Their Own Thing

With the Daughters of the Dragon having featured primarily as supporting characters in Luke Cage and Iron Fist's Heroes for Hire series, there aren't really all that many established storylines that a TV series could adapt. There was a brief miniseries that focussed on the Wing-Knight duo in 2006, and another that featured the characters as the leaders of Heroes for Hire during the first Civil War. But, bar those two, the pair haven't really had many of their own comic book adventures.

That said, it does allow for a Dragon series to really do its own thing in the MCU, free from any expectation to imitate a particular storyline, or pay homage to a specific event in the Marvel mythos. That isn't to say there isn't history to their pairing - they're obviously is - but a Netflix adaptation would afford a great deal of manoeuvrability to the showrunner tasked with bringing the project to Netflix. Indeed, given how much of the Netflix MCU revolves around The Hand, and the mythology surrounding the group, it's easy to envision a show rooting itself in those elements.

Although Black Cat and Silver Sable are owned by Sony, it would be neat to see the two companies negotiate to incorporate both into the MCU, particularly so, given their links with Heroes for Hire. Still though, there's plenty of room for Marvel to manoeuvre and, considering the amount of heroes that have called New York home over the years, there are plenty of stars who could make a guest appearance given the opportunity.
