Marvels Luke Cage faces the axe

After Marvels Iron Fist, Luke Cage has been cancelled after the first two seasons of the show, according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter. According to the same report, Luke Cage faced the axe due to creative differences.

“Unfortunately, Marvels Luke Cage will not return for a third season…Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is grateful to the dedicated showrunner, writers, cast and crew who brought Harlems Hero to life for the past two seasons, and to all the fans who have supported the series,” Netflix and Marvel said in a joint statement.

Now that two Marvel shows have been taken off the grid, only three shows from the Marvel universe remain on streaming giant Netflix– Jessica Jones, Daredevil and The Punisher. It is also being reported that Marvels parent company Disney might start its own streaming service soon and take every Marvel product off from Netflix.
