Hulu May Revive Cancelled Netflix Marvel Shows

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

After Netflix's Marvel shows got cancelled this past year, Hulu has now voiced they are open to scooping them up and possibly reviving Daredevil and Luke Cage.

In an interview with TheWrap, Senior Vice President of Originals at Hulu, Craig Erwich, said they would be interested in any titles under the Marvel name.

"Marvel has a ton of titles we’d be interested in," Erwich said.

"It kind of just depends on when they’re ready, [and] who, most importantly, is going to be behind these things," he said.

Netflix cancelled three of its five Marvel TV shows in the past few months, including Daredevil, Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Leaving Jessica Jones with a third season coming out, and season two of The Punisher debuted last month without any announcement yet of a third season to follow.

Fans have suspected the cancellations came after Disney announced their new streaming service that will be coming by the end of 2019, Disney+, with multiple TV series from Marvel Studios being developed.

Many have been skeptical of the Disney-Fox merger, but Fox has confirmed they don't plan on having The Simpsons go anywhere, and Disney has announced that Marvel will be taking over the X-Men franchise, which many fans have been looking forward to.

I've always thought all those Netflix shows were too much. They should just have a Defenders show.

[The Ichi]

Please yes, I'm not ready for any of them to end.

I feel like Marvel is gonna hoard their stuff goin forward. I'd look for stuff Hulu does have to gradually go the Disney service too.

Daredevil is the only one I’m really invested opin keeping going. That said, still waiting for Jessica Jones season 3m after a great first one and an underwhelming second one.

I'm hopeful they will, even if they only are able to give them proper final series endings. I'm even intrigued by the weird animated projects they just announced, even MODOK sounds interesting because they're making it more of a weird sitcom where a giant head is trying to take over the world, but also has a family that's constantly causing him trouble. That's the least likely project I was expecting. As long as Howard The Duck gets Seth Green to be the voice of Howard, I'm in.

3rd seasons for Luke Cage and Iron Fist are a must

I want one season of Heroes for Hire where it's about both of them.

Netflix still has the rights to the shows until like 2020 or so don't they?

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

They knocked it out of the park with Runaways, so sure.

It’s a pretty open ended statement.

Even that the ratings were falling each season, they were still some of Netflix most watched shows. It really all depends what actors are available and who the show runners would be. But I’m sure they would love to get more of that Marvel money. Especially with everything more streamlined there’s a better chance to crossover with the Disney + shows or movies. I don’t think they will bring back all five shows (6 with defenders) but I can see Heroes for Hire, Daughters of the Dragon, and maybe some sort of Marvel Knights show with Daredevil, Punisher, Moonknight, and another Ghostrider.

Hulu is going to house the more adult-themed Disney stuff... at least that's my understanding from stuff I have read.

[salz4life]

I think it would be cool, if they aren't interested in continuing the individual seasons, if they gave us one more season of The Defenders.

[Dub H]

I hope so.Netflix cut all of the ones I liked and just kept the ones i have no interest in

[Deleted]

I'd be down. I really dug Daredevil and Luke Cage and was sad when they got cancelled.

The only catch is Netflix have a two-year "no compete" clause attached to the shows. One of the main reasons Firefly was never brought back despite interest from all parties is because the cast were all way too busy. The slim hopes of a third season of Agent Carter were ended when Hayley Atwell was cast in another show. Bobbi Morse was expected to return to Agents of SHIELD until Adrienne Palecki joined The Orville.

Cox, Colter, Ritter, Bernthal, et al are all in demand, and they're not gonna turn down roles in the hope that these shows might come back a couple of years down the line.

Disney have all but confirmed this to be the case. I believe it's already been more or less confirmed that Deadpool and Logan will stream on Hulu rather than Disney+.

This is why I think it would just be cool if they could bring them all back (even Punisher, somehow) for a last run as The Defenders on Hulu once the no-compete is up.

I just want more Luke Cage. The brother was cold AND got the cheeks on a regular basis.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

Marvel will be auctioning off props and costumes from the shows, which is definitely not a sign that they expect them to ever be needed again.

This actually got me to thinking...the MTM library is amongst Disney's holdings from Fox, yes? I ask because many of the series are on Hulu, and Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart Show, and St. Elsewhere are complete at that there.
