No one thought much of Netflix canceling Marvel’s Iron Fist last week — the Finn Jones-led series was plagued by controversies and received poor reviews.
Netflix’s Marvel shows operate within the same world as the successful Marvel films, though there has been little crossover between the films and any of Marvel’s television shows.
But the late Friday cancellation of Marvel’s Luke Cage, a series that received generally favorable reviews from critics but took a slight downturn in its sophomore season earlier this year, feels like a sign that things might be changing at Netflix.
Even if the major changes on the film side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe don’t come to affect Marvel’s TV properties, it definitely feels like we’re nearing the end of Marvel’s run at Netflix.
