oh my god! I can't believe it! WHY?!!
Daredevil canceled: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/daredevil-canceled-at-netflix-as-marvel-roster-shrinks-two-1165162
Two words: f^ck this.
If the fan-favorite couldn’t be saved, especially after that acclaimed third season, then it’s obvious Marvel Netflix will be no more.
The only hope we have now is that Daredevil, along with the others, finds a new home on Disney’s streaming service (call it wishful thinking but Marvel just can’t let it end like this). There’s been talks that the cancellations have been happening because these shows WILL be moved to Disney’s service, but that’s merely speculation. Plus, word is viewer ratings dropped substantially for Fist and Cage. Reportedly DD lost viewers as well, but unlike IF and LC, it had strong buzz coming into season 3. And let’s be fair, DD was a widely acclaimed show. Anyway, how realistic would it be for these shows to be on a Disney service given their graphic content? Potentially something can be worked out. Stay tuned I guess.
I do hope there is a continuation. A show this epic can't end like this!
Couldn’t agree more. What’s worth noting about Netflix’s statement regarding the show’s cancellation, is they said that “the Daredevil character will live on in future projects for Marvel”... sure, could be bs talk with them trying to spin it, but hopefully it means what we think it means.
This show deserves to continue. I hope it goes elsewhere.
Is it possible that Marvel is addressing one of the big problems with the Netflix shows and actually promoting some of these to the actual MCU?
shareWhat big problems with the Netflix shows?
That they are in the MCU without being a PART of the MCU?
shareMaybe that’s only a piece of the puzzle. But according to some, lif the likes of Daredevil and the Punisher get promoted into the larger MCU, they’re going to be new iterations. That’s right, Marvel/Disney will basically cast new actors and they’ll do something different with these characters regardless if they end up on Disney+ or the big screen. This is not unlikely.... after all all, the connections between the Marvel Netflix shows and the films were, yes, almost non-existence. Marvel can easily introduce new versions of the Defenders team into the MCU.
I’m not too thrilled by that idea but obviously this is not up to any fan. What’s certain is Netflix, not Disney, decided not to renew the shows. There’s a number of theories floating around about why they didn’t (money, low ratings, this being some sort of retaliation against Disney+), but whatever the reasons it’s disappointing that this happened. If there is the slightest chance that this incarnation of Daredevil - and the rest of the shows - gets moved over to Disney+ or even Hulu, then that would be the best thing.
If this means we'll get to see DD in the Phase4 movies I'm all for it.
