To my understanding thus far the chances of this occurring are slim to none. Even if for some ridiculous reason NECA somehow lost those licenses then Hasbro would not be the one to pick it up, it's just not their style. Hasbro keeps things PG-13 at the most so licenses with such heavy footing in the R rated market wouldn't exactly fit in with the image they sell of family friendly fun. Yeah you could make the argument that the Netflix Marvel figures break that view but the characters, regardless of them being the Netflix "not for kids" versions, are sourced from comic books which aren't always so restrictive with their target audience.
