Disney+ has revealed March 16th will be a big day for fans who loved the Netflix-produced Marvel shows as they all will be made available on the streaming service. U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand will be able to stream “Daredevil,” “Jessica Jones,” “Luke Cage,” “Iron Fist,” “The Defenders,” and “The Punisher,” plus “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” in the U.S.
This news comes just a day after all of these Marvel shows were removed from the Netflix streaming service.
“Disney+ has served as the home for some of the most beloved brands in the industry, and the addition of these live-action shows brings more from the Marvel brand together, all in one place,” said Michael Paull, President of Disney Streaming. “We have experienced great success with an expanded content offering on Disney+ across our global markets and are excited to continue that here in the U.S. as well by offering our consumers not only great content with the new Marvel additions, but also a set of features that help ensure a viewing experience most suitable for them and their family.”
Along with the new shows, Disney+ is adding Parental Controls in the U.S. that will prompt all subscribers to update their settings. Given the adult nature of the Marvel Netflix shows, this sounds like a no-brainer.
Soon you’ll be able to stream Daredevil alongside the MCU films!
With the Netflix shows now available on Disney+ along with the MCU films it’s only a matter of time before Sony brings the Spider-Man movies to the platform, right? Alas, Sony is streaming Spider-Man: No Way Home on Starz and platforms like Amazon for renting.

Marvel on Disney+
The dedicated Marvel brand page on Disney+ already serves as home to the largest Marvel collection with hundreds of hours of movies and shows. This includes the Marvel Studios movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe such as “Avengers: Endgame” and “Black Panther” as well as other Marvel movie franchises like “X-Men”; Disney+ Original series like “WandaVision,” “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier,” “Loki,” and “Hawkeye”; animated series, including the Disney+ Original series from Marvel Studios, “What If…?”; specials and shorts, and documentaries that go behind the scenes like “Marvel Studios Assembled.”
Updates to Parental Controls in the U.S.
When opening Disney+ for the first time on or after March 16, all subscribers in the U.S. will be prompted to update their Parental Controls. This includes the option to select content ratings restrictions for each profile as well as to add a PIN to lock profiles. Those that choose to keep their settings the same will continue to enjoy Disney+ as they always have within a TV-14 content rating environment, with the option to make changes at any time under Profile settings.
