Reports of Iger's initial announcement in August suggested Disney's streaming plans won't affect Marvel's raft of Netflix television dramas, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders and the upcoming Punisher. However, it's unclear whether Disney's ambitions include new Marvel series on its branded platform.

Netflix Chief Content Ted Sarandos said last month that his company began preparing for the rise of studio-specific services five years ago, when it first ventured into original content. Netflix took those moves to the next level in August with the acquisition of Mark Millar's comic book imprint Millarworld.
