5) Ninjak vs. The Valiant Universe
Look out Marvel and DC, there’s a new player in town. Presumably looking to replicate the success of Marvel’s Netflix shows, Valiant Comics are moving into the digital arena with this newly-announced web series starring multiple characters from their shared universe.
Ninjak vs. The Valiant Universe is a six-part series that looks set to be an all-action introduction to a new superhero world. As shown in the trailer, it revolves around the titular Ninjak, an MI-6 assassin, as he goes rogue and has to fight for his life against reams of Valiant heroes.
The cast has a few names that will excite superhero TV fans. The title character is played by Michael Rowe, most known for appearing in Arrow as Deadshot. Starring as fan favourite anti-hero Bloodspot, meanwhile, is Jason David Frank AKA Tommy the Green Ranger from multiple incarnations of Power Rangers.
Valiant hopes that this will be the first many more digital series, both of the live-action and animated variety. There’s no word yet on how this will affect Sony’s plans for a series of Valiant movies, but as of now, you can color us intrigued.
