RUMOR: Another Potential Marvel Series Has Been Cancelled Before Seeing The Light of Day
Despite having a packed roster of projects in the works, Marvel Studios faced another setback as they were forced to scrap yet another project. A planned series featuring a fresh character was reportedly axed, allegedly due to the poor reception of another film.
The Marvels did not quite achieve box-office success like many other Marvel ventures. The film garnered mixed reviews and failed to meet the lofty expectations set for it. However, it did introduce a promising new character whose story could have been expanded into a series. Unfortunately, that potential project has also been shelved.
As reported by Nexus Point News, industry insider DanielRPK revealed the cancellation of yet another Marvel project. A series centered around Monica Rambeau, also known as Photon, was purportedly in development at Marvel Studios but has been scrapped in the aftermath of The Marvels reception. Nonetheless, it has been indicated that her storyline will carry on in a different project.
First introduced as a young Monica in 2019'sCaptain Marvel, the character made her official appearance as part of the WandaVision series. She later returned in The Marvels (2023), where her role expanded significantly within the narrative. Moreover, she had previously been the focus of her own solo comic book story. Penned by Eve L. Ewing and illustrated by Michael Sta. Maria, Monica Rambeau: Photon is a limited five-issue series that delves deep into the hero's backstory. Originally slated to receive her own solo MCU series, plans were derailed due to the underwhelming reception of The Marvels. Whether the canceled show's narrative would have been drawn from the comics remains unclear. Given her connections with other Marvel heroes, it is not surprising that she was set to receive her own story, only to have those plans canceled prematurely. However, on a more positive note, it has been indicated that her narrative will be integrated into other projects.
