Apparently Marvel Execs Didn’t See the “Daredevil” Cancellation Coming

Netflix upset many a Marvel fan last month when it announced that it would be cancelling Daredevil.

The series formed part of a deal to create several Marvel shows including Jessica Jones, The Punisher, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist.

It appears now, however, that not only did they upset fans — they also shocked some Marvel executives.

According to Amy Rutberg who plays Marci, Netflix alone was responsible for the decision to can Daredevil.

“My contacts at Marvel were very surprised. Any of the rumors that it was a Marvel decision are wrong, I think it was purely a Netflix decision. That comes from personal conversations with people high up at Marvel. They were surprised,” Amy said in an interview with Inverse.

The actress further stated that the cast believed that production on a 4th season of the series would begin in February 2019.

“It’s a little unusual to be that far ahead in the planning and cancel the show, which makes me think Netflix was laboring over whether or not to cancel it. My guess was it was not an easy decision,” she said.

Either way, Daredevil will be missed.
