Provided the deal is a profitable one, I don't think Marvel would turn down more seasons. I would point to Marvel continuing to do Iron Man, Thor, and CA movies post-Avengers as an example of that. And the only reason we may see those end is that the actors salaries rise exponentially more when their contracts run out. With a TV show, they can sign these actors for 4-5+ years at 13 episodes each and get quite a run out of them.

They certainly could restrict them to just these single runs but I can't see Marvel leaving money on the table if Netflix wants more just to fulfill a creative vision. I mean they adjusted the AoU plot due to Ant Man's difficulties.. I don't see why they wouldn't make some tweaks to allow for more profits with Netflix shows.

Right but those film sequels are different from a TV series. Those actors are locked into multi-picture contracts and those films don't have to come out every year. With a series it just takes a few months off and then goes back into production for the next year. Marvel can't just take a year break on a series and leave the cast and crews hanging. Also, if they all continue to run we are going to get to a point where we have 4 or 5 Marvel series launching throughout the year, along with 3 MCU films, plus they have to launch around Netflix's growing stable of other original shows.

Krysten Ritter isn't leading woman material, Alexandra Daddario is a fucking dreadful actress, Teresa Palmer = hew, Jessica De Gouw is fine (maybe not on Arrow, but she was fine on Dracula) but not the best choice either. Meh.

Teresa Palmer was awesome in I Am Number Four. Yes I realize that doesn't answer your question of "who." Still true though. ;/

In TV shows, actors are typically locked into multi-year contracts as well. At 13 episodes a season, they have more time off than broadcast show, which as you point out can be an issue with the crews especially. However I have to point out that it seems to be working thus far for the other Netflix Original shows (Orange is the New Black, Hemlock Grove, House of Cards, etc..).

You're looking at the launch years and making the assumption that because nothing has been said of Daredevil for 2016, that it's taking "time off" for that period. However it doesn't have to. Especially since Netflix doesn't have to abide by seasonal restrictions the way Broadcast does.

And if they do skip years for specific shows, they could use the crews from the first two shows on the next two, and so on. Similar to broadcast, Actors could be free to take on other roles so long as they don't interfere with the future schedules of their primary Marvel roles. It wouldn't be a normal system but they can find ways to make it work if they're so inclined.

Yeah that is all true. I'm not assuming Daredevil won't get a second season in 2016 right now, it's just the way that they are interconnecting these shows (for example Luke Cage being in half of the episodes of Jessica Jones and also on his own show) is going to start making things a bit weird logistically. You're right though, they can find ways to make it work.

She's doing great work in Penny Dreadful. Definitely one of those actresses who is a bit type cast though.

It also helps that she's the only actual actress of the group

ok I actually don't know Teresa Palmer at all, but her resume does not inspire confidence

Teresa Palmer was really great in Warm Bodies. Jessica de Gouw was great in Dracula. I'd be glad to see either in the role. Krysten Ritter is really good, especially in Veronica Mars. I don't necessarily see Alexandria Daddario in the role, though (although she could be a good fit for it, I just haven't been wowed by her performances that I've seen in Percy Jackson and Parenthood).

That's great and all... but now I'm kinda rooting for Tatiana Maslany...
she ain't on the list, but she should be.

I would not be surprised to see a second season of Daredevil and maybe Jessica Jones before Defenders.

Also, I didn't think De Gouw was that bad on Arrow. *shrug*

No one is asking Marvel most important casting in this whole thing. Who the hell is going to play Cage and Jones' nanny, Squirrel Girl?

Yeah , on second thought I don't think she's awful. The the writing did her no favours and I'm comparing her to a character like Jessica that requires a fantastic performer.

But Daddario is always wooden as hell.

I don't think she was very good, but it's balanced out by her having probably the best chemistry with Amell more than any other actress on that show.

She can't be. She'll be too busy with Oprhan Black by the time this starts filming (which should be early next year).

Edit: Like someone else said, if it were possible for her to be on this list, I'm fairly sure she'd be at the top of it.

So some House of Payne dude is rumored for Luke Cage that cracks me up, missed that the first time around since everyone was talking about Jessica Jones.

Shoot, why not let Alison Brie have a crack at Jessica Jones. She obviously and do both comedy and drama. Why not? Is she too short? I mean people are suggesting Maslany too and she's pretty short too.

Because her arms are twigs. Of course, that's probably true of most of the actresses up for the role.

In addition to Marin Ireland, Cleo Anthony is in the running for Luke Cage.

I always imagined Cage being darker skinned and older, but he could work if they are aiming for a younger cast as JJ's actresses seem to imply.

Edit: Oh my God @ the comments. THE COMMENTS.

Why in 21st century are we still following racial stereotypes. Why can’t we cast white, Asian or Native American actor in the role of Luke Cage?

Well they may be telling his origin story, and he was relatively young when he got his powers.
