looks like marvel cancelled .. not netflix

Following the cancellations of Iron Fist and Luke Cage, Daredevil was next on the chopping block despite a stellar third season. Jessica Jones and The Punisher are expected to be next - once their respective third and second seasons are streamed - but some very interesting new intel has been revealed by Deadline today.

Before the plug was pulled on the Man Without Fear's solo series, it's said that the show was one of the most in-demand properties on the streaming platform. Only Narcos, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and Stranger Things were in front of Daredevil, a sign that the Marvel Comics adaptation was performing much better than the other cancelled shows set in the MCU.

So, why would Netflix axe it?

Well, here's an interesting piece of intel. According to Collider's Steven Weintraub, Marvel decided to cancel Daredevil! That could be because of the Disney+ streaming service or the company wanting to take the hero elsewhere, but this definitely wasn't expected.

What do you guys think? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below.

Yeah I have a hard time believing this. Unless they plan on using DD in some way on the streaming service, what would be the point of getting it canceled?

The mouse wants everything back. They got Xmen back and they are going to put everything under one roof With streaming. I wouldn't be surprised if they start going after all the old shows on YouTube to shutdown.

There may be a lot of red tape as far as those shows go, but Disney owns the characters. Even with the movie/film division beef, they still contemplated giving the Netflix cast cameos in Avengers. But if they're serious about catering to the fans, they better not give this the WB/DC treatment. It would be far less problematic for Disney to give the shows soft reboots, and keep the stars they want to keep but place it on an edgier platform. And of course, Disney has the dough to outright buy the series away from Netflix. I doubt we've seen the last of Bernthal & Cox as Punisher and Daredevil. You can bet on that.

There's been talk about moving it to Hulu. Nothing has been decided. I'd say it's 60/40. But they have to make the financials work.

Talk from who tho outside of people on this board and other boards and jurnos throwing ideas? Last I read, Netflix owns these shows and these iterations of the characters for the next few years. So the only way it would go to Hulu would be if those contracts are ripped up and bought out.

When the guy in charge of Disney plus was asked about it a few weeks ago, he left the door open to them possibly being on Disney plus but that doesn’t mean it’ll happen either.
