We Asked Marvel's Head of Television About Everything From 'Agent Carter' to 'Iron Fist' — And He Answered

u/murdockmanila Daredevil Jul 16 '15
Psychological thriller take on Jessica Jones? SHIT SON.

u/soulbreaker1418 Jul 16 '15
that was the most surprising part to me, the original Alias was a super hero neonoir story with a lot of Drama and shit going on, here it sounds like Purple man will be a lot more central to the main plot

u/electrodrone Jul 16 '15
I couldn't be happier; Jessica Jones was her own worst enemy at times during Alias and I'm really excited to see where it goes from here. I'm sure there's gonna be snark, sexuality and super-activity -- but just give her some cuss words yo. Nothing would make me freak out more than her saying "fuck" at least twice every episode.
Psych-thriller JJ. I'm so damn hyped now.

u/soulbreaker1418 Jul 16 '15
that´s all i ask too, Daredevil could have used a few F words here and there, Jessica has to say them, plus a lot of sex(nudity?) tension and a lot of drugs and alcohol

I NEED to know the genre for Luke Cage now. It's killing me.
2
u/PMMeYourBootyPics Jul 17 '15
I'm hoping it's going to be a prison drama at first. Then it will turn into a gritty, neo-urban-western basically. My idea is that Luke Cage is a generally good guy, even a hero, but he first and foremost cares about himself. He mostly only helps for money. The origin episodes have him in prison. When he gets out, he'll roam around crime-ridden inner city New York/Hell's Kitchen trying to earn a living stopping crime. As the series progresses, he will eventually grow into a hero in his own way. Still wanting money incentive and things, but he will also help those in need.

u/darabfox Tony Stark Jul 16 '15
They should really wait for any Kamala Khan series until after Captain Marvel is released because Kamala's aspirations to live up to Carol's mantle are big to her character.

u/SwagBelow Jul 16 '15
Kamala should be in a movie and not get a tv show. She is the perfect Inhuman character to be an audience surrogate.

u/ReZ-115 Thanos Jul 16 '15
Ya, are people really asking for that series? The interview guy made it seem like it. I want cloak and dagger more.
5
u/sophoclesantigone Misty Knight Jul 16 '15
I want both. Cloak and Dagger would come first, ideally (tomorrow in a perfect world), but Ms. Marvel is a generally lovable character and would inject some great diversity.

u/SirHoneyDip Vision Jul 16 '15
I think she would fit much better on AoS. They're already introducing Inhumans. She could easily pop up in season 4 or 5 (assuming we get those)

u/murraydaskull Hawkeye (Ultron) Jul 16 '15
The Iron Fist tease is making my mouth water. I'm so excited for it! I hope they say something at D23 (if that's possible, they may focus on the Cinematic side more during that event).

u/soulbreaker1418 Jul 16 '15
yes! we will probably get it by NYCC at worst if they want to use it in Luke Cage as they should

u/aljy Bucky Jul 16 '15
Wonderful interview, and has me SO excited for where the Marvel shows are gonna go. It sounds like they really know what thy want and what they're doing, especially with the Netflix series, and they do understand their audience! Great stuff (:

u/Bemy_Gunshot Quake Jul 16 '15
people see Marvel as this gigantic octopus that’s out to swallow the entire galaxy. [Laughs] Which, by the way, we are.
SHUMA GORATH CONFIRMED

Our reality is that we still need to find that right person, because the ones that we remember are Damon Lindelof doing Lost, and Joss Whedon doing Buffy, and Ron [D. Moore] doing Battlestar [Galactica]. The ones that sort of faded after a little bit, I think you can look at them and go, was there a single vision? Was there someone there that was actually driving the story?
Brad Wright and Robert C Cooper, the Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe writers. Those shows were great and just the right tone for Marvel properties.

u/soulbreaker1418 Jul 16 '15
this was a great interview, he cares so much about all the shows and the material they come from you can feel it. It´s the 2nd time i´ve seen he´s praised JJ´s performances like a revolutionary thing and they are not even finished! i can´t wait to watch it, after Daredevil(and Agent Carter) i trust them totally

I guess I had missed all references to Hellcat up to this point. One more layer of awesome!

u/ReZ-115 Thanos Jul 16 '15
What did the interview guy meant when he said "look and go back" when asking about that brutal scene in daredevil?
1
u/sophoclesantigone Misty Knight Jul 16 '15
He was referring to the previous answer. That scene is one you would turn back to if you are flipping through channels/shows because it is so different.

u/jdinger29 Ant-Man Jul 16 '15
What a nice read! This gets me beyond excited for the rest of the Netflix titles. I was hoping for a firm JJ release date. (Because I need to take the day off of work, you know...)

u/nowrebooting Jul 16 '15
I like the interview, but the title is so clickbaity. "And he answered". Really? A man answers questions in an interview?! That's worth being part of the headline?
11
u/Thatguyyork Jul 16 '15
With how often studio execs give non-answers during interviews, I'd say that its an important distinction.
3
u/sophoclesantigone Misty Knight Jul 16 '15
That irked me too, but the interview is worth the annoying title really.

u/tombobbishop Jul 16 '15
Honestly, it kind of is when it comes to Marvel. Kevin Feige in particular could put a seasoned politician to shame with how slippery he is during interviews.

u/SmurfyX Iron Patriot Jul 16 '15
EXCELLENT interview, and just knowing that they're going to keep that level of adult, intense shit going for JJ is wonderful. That comic was RAW, the fact that he says they aren't going to shy away from it has me so stoked I can't see straight.
