This was an enormous shock to followers, as season 1 was an enormous hit, and viewers have been desperate to see the story proceed.

“I really like that present to dying. If it have been as much as me, we’d be making that present. And I do consider that if – and I do know this sounds bizarre – but when it have been as much as Kevin, we’d be doing that present.
“I am simply speaking; I don’t totally perceive the enterprise of streaming, but when the enterprise was proper, we’d be making that present as a result of I do know Kevin loves that present as a lot as I do. It is a bummer. I’m heartbroken about it. However I want to totally perceive the why.”
Marvel Man had already been renewed for a second season, and the creative staff was already shifting full pace forward on what got here subsequent. Showrunner Andrew Visitor lately opened up concerning the ordeal, revealing that work on Season 2 was a lot additional alongside than many followers realized.
“I really feel the way you all really feel. And I simply wish to clear up what I can right here. This isn’t a advertising stunt. There is no such thing as a film within the works. And Destin’s schedule, and nobody’s schedule, was a difficulty. Yahya, Destin, Sir Ben, and I all beloved making this present.
“All felt passionately about persevering with to do it and have been desperate to. Contracts have been signed, schedules have been cleared. The author’s room was supposed to begin this month. The manufacturing was supposed to start early subsequent 12 months.”
As an alternative, Visitor says the choice got here from larger up inside Disney and Marvel, even though plans for an additional season had already been authorized solely months earlier.

“And there was a choice made internally between Disney and Marvel that this didn’t make sense for them — regardless that a couple of months in the past it did. And that’s primarily all I actually know.

“And everybody felt actually good about it. It was gonna be a very unimaginable season that, hopefully, surpassed season one.”
It’s only a complete bummer that the plug was pulled on this collection. We don’t know what the longer term holds for the character Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), however hopefully he returns in some capability quickly.
