Good News, Bad News – Marvel Auctioning Props From Netflix Shows

by John Bishop · March 1, 2020

Welp. Marvel’s Netflix live-action television era is — really — over. It’s bad news because Daredevil and Jessica Jones are two of my favorite characters in all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

And, back when Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. began to falter, there was Matt Murdock – defending Hell’s Kitchen. It was awesome!

Now, however, it’s all over but the shouting… and the auctioning. That is good news.

Own A Piece Of Marvel History

Screenrant set the table:

Daredevil

Not all of the shows were as critically acclaimed as Daredevil, but all were successful enough to lead into their team-up limited series The Defenders. The Punisher came soon after, as Jon Bernthal’s character was introduced in season 2 of Daredevil. Back in 2018, after Disney announced that Marvel would feature on Disney+, Netflix started pulling the plug on all of their Marvel shows beginning with Iron Fist. Jeph Loeb, the former head of Marvel TV, said that they were “blindsided” by the cancellations. Marvel TV moved on from the loss, quickly announcing a slew of new shows to come to Disney+ in the future, like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki.

Welcome To The Propstore

IndieWire posted a story outlining what’s in store for fans:

Marvel Entertainment’s Netflix television partnership, which produced shows such as “Daredevil” and “Jessica Jones,” might be dead, but fans can acquire a piece of the superhero franchise’s history at an upcoming auction.

On Friday, Marvel and Prop Store announced a June auction that will feature a variety of items from “The Punisher” and “The Defenders.” Bidding opens in May… Props expected to be auctioned off include the Punisher’s (Jon Bernthal) vest and skull-clad armor, and a handful of masks from the series’ second season.

Bidding Begins In May

The auction itself is pretty spectacular. As the official site says, it’s an “outstanding opportunity to own a piece of Marvel history!”
