Netflix has revolutionized the entertainment business, however, they are still continually looking for new ways to expand. While many may not see Netflix as having any significant threats from competitors, Amazon has recently become a key player. In the face of competition Netflix has sought deals for more exclusive content. They’ve recently partnered with Marvel to bring 4 of their lesser-known superhero’s to the big screen, and exclusively for Netflix. This deal is set to unfold over multiple years. They have committed to a minimum of 4 13-episode series with a cumulative marvel mini series to combine them all. With this new partnership it places Netflix a step ahead of competition, particularly competition that deals primarily in already released content. Not only are they establishing themselves as a primary source for quality streaming, but also as a source for original content that can’t be seen anywhere else. With Marvel’s successful track record and Netflix’s strong foothold in the entertainment industry, I think this match may turn out to be a match made in heaven for both companies. Combining the fan base of the two companies should be able to produce a significant amount of profit and unlimitedly propel them further ahead of the competition than they already are.
