While speaking with TheWrap, the Hulu Senior Vice President of Originals said the following:

“Marvel has a ton of titles we’d be interested in. It kind of just depends on when they’re ready, [and] who, most importantly, is going to be behind these things,”

While Hulu may want to resurrect the Defenders series on their platform, they would have to wait, as a clause in the original contract between Marvel TV and Netflix states that the characters cannot appear in any television shows or movies for two years.

Hulu isnt new to the Marvel universe as they are home to Marvel’s Runaways, which focuses on six teenagers, some with powers and some without, who discover their parents are criminals and must team up to stop them.

Disney is set to own 60 percent and controlling interest of Hulu once its merger deal with Fox finally closes this year.
