It won't be.

Netflix retains all rights to their existing and current shows under the Marvel banner.

It's not Disney content. It's Netflix content. Made with ABC studios in most cases if I remember right, not Disney.

Disney will end its distribution deal with Netflix and launch its own streaming service, the company announced today. It intends to launch the service in 2019. The move is a real blow to Netflix, which secured a valuable streaming deal with Disney back in 2012 — before streaming had really taken off.


Netflix won’t lose its Disney movies right away. Disney says it plans to cut Netflix off starting with the studio’s 2019 films, and Netflix says it’ll be able to keep all the Disney movies it gets through the end of that year. That means Netflix should be able to stream the next two Star Wars movies, but it’ll miss out on the new trilogy’s final installment. “We continue to do business with the Walt Disney Company on many fronts, including our ongoing deal with Marvel TV,” said a spokesperson for Netflix.

From what I understand, it's a joint Netflix-Disney production, so Disney can't whisk existing series away to a different platform. Who knows what they can and will renegotiate for future releases, but I can't imagine that Netflix would agree to creating content for someone else's platform.
