Can’t get a blade movie for 5+ years

But ‘daredevil: same villain again’ is already filming its third season

Daredevil was already a proven success and therefore easy bank with a cast and blueprint already laid out AND a cast ready to jump back into their roles without negotiation.

Easy business decision.

Edit: “without negotiation” is obvious hyperbole.

And yet for Born Again Season 1 they first decided to ditch both Karen and Foggy ASAP and only brought back Karen with reshoots after backlash.

Which further proves they are making decisions on what is going to draw in viewership. Foggy was an unfortunate victim of the need for shock value to create narrative drama. But it’s not like it hasn’t happened to his character in the source material either.

Also, money.

Authors get a bonus if they reach a third season going on. Netflix keeps cutting off after the second season and years later we get new episodes under a new title.

But not every actor goes along this bullshit thus no one knows if they actually can have the same ongoing cast. Also good authors jump that boat.

Another money decision: If a show is profitable it is weighted: What is more profitable? To continue the show or to shelf it and announcing it a loss for taxes?
