We didn't think we'd end up being caught in the middle of a Netflix-Marvel divorce, but here we are – the confused child, wondering whether to stick with mum or dad.

Responding to a report in Bloomberg about the longevity of superhero TV series, president of Marvel Entertainment Dan Buckley hinted that Netflix will see no new content from them.

"We obviously want the Marvel Television series currently on Netflix to have a long and lauded run," he told the publication, before clarifying Marvel's position on new projects.

Any new series, he said, would be put to "networks and platforms that are the best fit for that content, including the Disney-branded streaming service".

The tension lies between Disney's ownership of Marvel's intellectual property and Netflix's ownership of Marvel shows. So, in theory, series such as The Defenders, Jessica Jones and The Punisher will be staying put on Netflix even when Disney launches its own streaming service.

The incoming Disney streaming service set to launch next year, however, will pull all new Disney and Pixar releases from Netflix US. So, perhaps its Marvel output won't be far behind.

In spite of the uncertainty surrounding Netflix's Disney offering (including Star Wars and titles in the MCU), Disney CEO Bob Iger has insisted that any fallout will be a good thing.

"We'll all learn from each other and total streaming will grow faster because of the competition," he argued.
