Greetings GTribers!
I guess you already have heard that Disney will be breaking their partnership with Netflix in 2019. The reason behind this is that Disney do have plans for their own streaming services. What this means is that Netflix will not be able to use Marvel, Star Wars and other Disney movies and series in the future. No one knows what will happen to Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones and the upcoming Defenders. Netflix has a deal with Disney with these Marvel line-up of superheroes… See More
and they do kind of coincide with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I guess Disney wants Netflix to pay them more with regards to said characters.
On the bright side, Netflix just bought Millarworld. Headed by Mark Millar and his wife Lucy, Millarworld is the company behind comic and movie adaptations like Wanted, Kickass and Kingsman to name a few. Although the deal does not include Kickass and Kingsman, what is to stop Netflix from doing a reboot of Wanted instead? Remember the 2008 Wanted movie starring James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman? Yes, that is the Wanted I am talking about. I think the time is ripe for a Wanted series and Netflix is more than capable of providing us of that.
Mark Millar is the same person who wrote the story lines and comic books of Marvel Civil War and Logan during his eight-year stint with Marvel.

Game on!
Netflix could continue investing in original films like Okja
Reboots doesn't seem to be turning out all that well. There's a lot more interesting stories that can be well produced.

I have been told that this change does not affect us here in the Netherlands, we will still get Disney content on Netflix.

What really sucks is that Disney has no plans outside of the US with their streaming service. This means that those of us outside of the US (and possibly Canada) will have to resort to our pre-Netflix methods of watching Disney movies which we want to watch.

I would LOVE if Amazon picked them up! I don't have Netflix.
