Disney Partners With Hulu to Create Four Animated Marvel Series The shows will be based on existing Marvel characters: M.O.D.O.K., Tiger and Dazzler, Hit-Monkey and <br />Howard the Duck. There will also be a miniseries<br />called “The Offenders," in which <br />all four characters meet up. Five years ago Netflix and Disney<br />teamed up to create four live-action<br />Marvel superhero series, with a final<br />culminating series known as “The Defenders.” Within the past year, three of the<br />four series have been canceled,<br />with only “Jessica Jones” remaining. The move from Netflix to Hulu makes sense<br />for Disney. Their merger with Fox is<br />set to close at the end of 2019, meaning<br />Disney will own 60 percent of Hulu. Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s head of TV, will act as<br />an executive producer on each project, backed by other well known names<br />such as comedian Chelsea Handler,<br />and writer Erica Rivinoja.
