So what about the Marvel shows? I was pretty sure they're Netflix exclusives but Marvel is owned by Disney and the wording in this statement is ambiguous about whether it would be affected or not.
Considering a new service will likely start out as US-only (as they always do) pulling future Marvel shows off Netflix would effectively mean killing them off internationally.
I'd imagine a Disney service would face fewer hurdles for international distribution (though I'm sure Disney was myopic enough to sign exclusive deals prohibiting them from serving some of their own content in some countries) but considering I'm still waiting for YouTube Red[0] to become available, HBO Go[1] isn't really available outside the US (which didn't stop them from handing out swag at European tech conferences) and Hulu[2] is still practically US-only, I'm not so keen on waiting for yet another player to figure out which countries they'll bother supporting.
