How would we feel about a Thunderbolts TV Series and a Movie?

It would naturally star:

William Hurt as General Ross/ Red Hulk

Elodie Yung as Elektra

Jonny Bernthal as Punisher

Gabriel Luna as Ghost Rider

Tom Hardy as Venom (ignoring that his movie will be in a seperate universe for time being)

Daniel Bruhl as Citizen V (Aka Zemo)

The idea is, we get a 13 Episode TV Series whereby the team out in the field is all of the above minus William Hurt (who calls the shots via ear pieces, he does everything back at base etc). At the end of the series the stuff with Citizen V being Zemo gets wrapped up (or cliffhangered), and it ends with something happening to Ross that leaves us on a Cliffhanger with him becoming Red Hulk (Because on a TV Budget we can't have him as Red Hulk). The the movie would pick this up and with the higher budget we can have Red Hulk properly. If we really wanted to dream big, a sequel movie could commence with the arrival of Deadpool from another universe (As Ryan Reynolds of Course) and then him heading back to his universe at the end of the third film.

I'm thinking here along the same vein as Firefly which ran for One short season followed by the higher budget movie Serenity. Heck they could even have Whedon direct the whole thing. Venom comes out next year (2018). Obviously netflix has Punisher and Elektra, the movies have Hurt, Hardy and Bruhl, and ABC has Ghostrider. I think this would be a good way to unite the three in a deal; it could be a big summer event running 15 weeks.

Netflix could Air all 13 Episodes on week 1, but for those without netflix from weeks 2-14 they can air on ABC with week 15 having the First Movie out in Cinemas. It would have to be wrote in a way that you could watch the Movie without the show, but if you have seen the show you get extra easter eggs (Like Firefly/ Serenity). The whole thing could run from April 2020 to July 2020 with sequel movies coming sporadically in the years after. I know Both Hawkeye and Luke Cage have been members in comics, but they're already in MCU teams, so its time for the Soloists to get a Team Shot.

Thoughts?
