There is officially one less hero guarding the streets of New York. Netflix canceled the Marvel series Luke Cage Iron Fist, another Marvel superhero show, was also suspended on Friday, October 19th, late at night. Both Luke Cage and Iron fist were part of a five-series contract signed between Marvel and Netflix, which includes Daredevil (whose third season started on Friday), Jessica Jones and the show of the superhero team, The defenders.
"Unfortunately, Marvel's Luke Cage will not be coming back for a third season," Netflix and Marvel said in a joint statement The Hollywood journalist. "Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is grateful to the showrunner, screenwriters, performers and technical team who have brought the hero of Harlem to life over the last two seasons, as well as to all of us. fans who supported the series. "
according to THR, the show – centered on a former convict, played by Mike Colter, endowed with superhuman strength and an indestructible skin having fought the crime in Harlem – an unknown source claims that the broadcast would have been canceled due to creative differences between the team and the network, and their inability to agree on the conditions for a third season. The deadline also indicated that the conflict was born from Netflix's decision to reduce the season's 13 episodes to the third season. (Bustle made contact with Netflix for comments on this information, but did not get an immediate response.)
Although Luke Cage was not as well known as other Marvel heroes, Colter's character quickly became a fan favorite after its release in the first season of Jessica Jones as Krysten Ritter speaks with passion and fight against crime. The series Luke Cage Also introduced to Misty Knight fans of Simone Missick, a policeman involved in Cage during his investigation of the wicked Cottonmouth (Mahershala Ali) and who played a pivotal role in the Defenders' fight against the criminal organization The Hand.
Although the second season of Luke Cage Earned by mixed reviews from critics, the show remained popular with fans, many of whom hoped to see more of Harlem's heroes than they had come to know and love.
Naturally, many Marvel fans have noticed that the two series that were canceled were those with the largest number of colored characters. Although the first season of Iron fist has been criticized for its history of cultural appropriation – after all, history Is Danny Rand, trained by monks and become their greatest warrior, introduced Asian characters into the world of Marvel TV and conferred them a leading role as a hero. Luke CageAt the same time, it featured black heroes and villains and offered an antidote to the largely white stories of superheroes most often told on television and on the big screen.
So, removing this small diversity from the Marvel Universe has hit particularly hard some fans, who wondered why the series featuring color cast members were being canceled, rather than the predominantly white series.
But for some, the cancellation of Luke Cage is particularly disappointing because it seemed that Season 2 was laying the groundwork for a Girls of the dragon series, who would see Misty and Iron fistColleen Wing (Jessica Henwick), presents herself as a full-fledged crime fighter. According to Missick, the plan was to Luke Cage to establish the friendship of Misty and Colleen, with season 2 of Iron fist to define the characters for their own derived series.
"In Iron fist Season 2, we see Misty and we will definitely explore this relationship even more, "Missick told Bustle in June. I hope this will lead to a separate series. Hope this will lead fans to Girls of the dragonbut we will not know until that happens. I always say, if you tweet it, it will come. "Of course, with the cancellation of both Iron fist and Luke Cage, the possibility of a Girls of the dragon The series seems a lot more distant now.
However, this did not stop some fans from asking for a women-centric spin-off to take the Defenders' place:
The fans also seemed to think that the cancellation of both Iron fist and Luke Cage a week apart, Netflix put in place another team of superheroes possible, Heroes for rent. The comic book series of the same name originates from Luke Cage comics and asked the indestructible man to team up with Danny Rand, of Iron Fist, to launch a private investigation and superhero protection agency in New York.
And really, what better way to bring these two characters together than to give them their own derivative series?
Fans may have to wait a little longer to find out if Girls of the dragon or Heroes for rent were part of Netflix's game plan, they can, at least, be reassured by the fact that Luke and Danny are still part of The defenders – or, at the very least, they could make an appearance on Jessica Jones or Daredevil in order to help their fellow heroes to protect New York City again.
