Unless you are living under a rock, news of Marvel's prospect shows - centered on superheroes and villains like Loki and Scarlet Witch - must have reached you. It's safe to say that the superhero franchise is going all out as it prepares for the launch of Disney's upcoming streaming service, enlisting the help of Earth's mightiest heroes in fact to further the cause. 

That said, Marvel is treading with caution. Even borrowing a page off DC's book of mistakes, as fans closely following the development of both the franchises would say. 

If latest reports are any indication, Marvel, in its efforts to establish their presence on the small screen, seems to have introduced a major change. As it goes full steam into the prospect shows for streaming, the superhero franchise is retaining all the original actors who have portrayed the fan-favorite characters - Tom Hiddleston (Loki) and Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch) - in the MCU movies, Variety reports.
