  Some news regarding one of the planned shows, Jessica Jones has it's lead
  https://www.scifinow.co.uk/news/jessica-...-its-star/
  Only ever saw her in Breaking Bad, but she was good in that, so seems like a good choice.
  Also very brief trailer Daredevil is up
  (ok technically it's a motion poster, but whatever).

  Having not seen her in anything I can't really judge.
  I'm looking forward to all of them and I think Jessica Jones could be good. I was disappointed when the previous Jessica Jones series was cancelled as it was meant to have had Carol Danvers (aka Ms/Captain Marvel) in it.

  Well I'm judging entirely on her performance in Breaking Bad, but she seemed to be a good decent, she was apparently in some comedy program (which I vaguely remember seeing the trailer for) but since I never watched it I can't say how good she was in that.
  Well Carol Danvers will be the lead in the Captain Marvel film, so fortunately it's not like the character won't be seen on film or anything.

  Oh yeah she's now got her own film which more than makes up for her not being in a show that never actually made it to TV.
  
  They appear to be saying that the shows won't all be ready at the same time and some probably won't appear until 2016 but given the amount of Marvel stuff going on tv and film wise, outwith these four, I can deal with that.

  Yeah it's not like they are neglecting the character, just in a different medium. I'm expecting the casting for her to be announced well in advance (since they announced Doctor Strange's casting already).
  
  Well Marvel tend to pick different people for different projects, so they aren't reliant on a select few writers to do everything. So it shouldn't be too long before the shows all get a little closer to filming I don't think.

  It's not something they need to rush.
  I think with Doctor Strange and them having Cumberbatch; announce it now and that starts the hype machine rolling.

  Yeah Cumberbatch's early announcement was clearly a move to increase publicity, a smart move as well considering the relatively unknown status of the character.
  
  Speaking of jessica jones, another casting announcement, David Tennant has been cast in a villian role https://m.hollywoodreporter.com/entry/view/id/902256
  That's a good casting, he is a talented actor so I can see him playing a good villian.
  I don't know much about the character he's playing so that's the limit of info I can provide for that one lol.

  He's playing the Purple Man I believe. It should be interesting. And at least it's using the existing Marvel universe.
  Don't make a show about Marvel characters and then start including new villains instead of using already existing ones which (some) people will know.

  Yeah I read the name of the character but knew nothing about it, but Tennant is a good actor and I think he will play it well regardless.
  Another new cast member, Carrie Ann Moss (trinity in the Matrix)

  Filling out the cast for that quite a bit lately.

  New trailer release for Daredevil, see link below (can't figure out how to embed it, still)
  
  Very different costume to the film one, though they have said the classic red one will eventually make an appearence (this is based off a costume used in a particular comic run). I think it looks promising, the darker tone is very fitting for the character.
