Marvel Weekly News #18

It's the holiday season and Marvel decided to give us a few gifts of their own over the holidays. If you missed any of this week's news about the Marvel universe due to the holidays, then look no further. This week's news consists of new information on the upcoming Netflix projects as well as Ant-Man. 

Daredevil Wraps

Marvel and Netflix formed an agreement just over a year ago to bring four exclusive shows to the online streaming website. The first show on the ballot is Daredevil. It will star Charlie Cox as Matthew Murdock and is being run by Steven DeKnight. This week on twitter, DeKnight announced that they have finished shooting the show. While Daredevil is still without an official release date, it is believed to be coming out in May of 2015. DeKnight said that he cannot comment on the release date, noting that they must finish editing the show in post-production.

RUMOR: Ant-Man Post Credit Scene

This section is strictly a rumor and could potentially be a SPOILER if it is proven true. Starlog Magazine claims to have sources telling them that Ant-Man will have a post credit scene that ties it all the way back to The Incredible Hulk. Their post says that Ant-Man's events will be happening at the same time as the ones in Avengers: Age of Ultron. They say that we will meet a young Thunderbolt Ross in a flashback scene in the movie and that Hank Pym and Ross will reunite in the post credit scene. Starlog Magazine says in their post that this information is from an anonymous party but it doesn't sound too bad.

Marvel Confirms Luke Cage Actor

At the beginning of the month, Deadline ran an exclusive story breaking the news that Krysten Ritter would be Jessica Jones in A.K.A. Jessica Jones. In that story, they also noted that Mike Colter was the favorite inside of Marvel to land the role of Luke Cage. Now, Marvel has confirmed that news. They announced earlier in the week that Mike Colter will be their Luke Cage in the cinematic universe. Luke Cage will first appear in A.K.A. Jessica Jones before leading his own show sometime in 2016.

Ant-Man Trailer Classified

It wasn't too long ago we got to see the first trailer for next year's blockbuster Avengers: Age of Ultron. Now it appears that we will see a trailer for the following Marvel movie Ant-Man sooner rather than later. The first trailer for Ant-Man has been classified and has a run time of 1 minute and 48 seconds. It is possible that the trailer will debut with the series premiere of Agent Carter in just over a week.
