July 30Jul 30 CB Team WTF. Disney cancelled Wonder Man despite renewing it for Season 2 a few months ago.This bums me out. Wonder Man felt fresh and fun. I guess Disney is REALLY scaling back on streaming stuff.
July 30Jul 30 CB Team This was a surprise to me as well. Nearly everyone I talked to about Wonder Man enjoyed it.
July 31Jul 31 The show was a great mix of funny and dramatic. Really fun.It’s getting old. Every time Disney does this it chips away at our belief in their belief in Marvel.
July 31Jul 31 CB Team 15 hours ago, Tom Bacon said:I can only guess they want Cretton on the movies.This is also my guess. He has to handle the new Spider-Man trilogy
August 4Aug 4 CB Team I was surprised that they cancelled it since they literally just announced it, but if I'm honest, it's not something we actually need. The series was amazing, but it also exists perfectly as a one-off, so I'm not as frustrated by it as others are.
August 4Aug 4 CB Team It definitely seems like even more of a bummer after seeing that Visionquest is happening but lol whatever. Not a good look for them considering the state of their Disney+ offerings overall
August 7Aug 7 100% Business decisions based on a guess about ROI without ANY regard for the audience, the artistic work or the industry community in LA that was being supported by a very good show. Also, it might seem antithetical but Cretton's massive box office success probably means Disney wants to sequester him for that world. They underestimate the draw his name would have if they simply marketed WM S2 with "From the Director of Spider-Man: Brand New Day." I'm in the film & TV industry (and write comic books) and what is VERY odd and rare is renewing a show and then reversing to cancel. Even Cretton is puzzled. Terrible optics on the heels of not moving forward with Blade. It sure seems like Disney is intent on leaving what studies now say is an estimated $10B of business on the table that movies like Black Panther and Sinners proved there's an audience for. A certain kind of myopia.
