Netflix 上週宣布取消《漫威夜魔俠》(Marvel's Daredevil)讓不少粉絲相當心碎。事實上,不只編劇團隊感到震驚,就連漫威電視的執行製作們在接獲此消息後也到相當意外。
《漫威夜魔俠》編劇暨共同執行製作山姆恩斯特(Sam Ernst)日前推文表示,當日他在編劇室得知劇集被取消一事,牆上貼滿了第四季的大綱,並強調新一季真的很酷,有許多想要粉絲看到的時刻。兩天後他再推文表示,節目統籌艾瑞克歐森(Erik Oleson)請了編劇們一起享用最後一頓午餐,並透露漫威電視的執行製作們在接到《漫威夜魔俠》被取消的消息後,震驚的程度與他們一般。
Had a last lunch yesterday with the Daredevil writers. Sushi provided by our Captain, @erikoleson. Marvel execs there too, just as stunned as we were. More than lunch, really: a wake. A show gets cancelled, all those characters we love die. Why I hate my job. Why I love it, too.

隨著《漫威夜魔俠》取消後,不少粉絲和外媒都推測該劇會移至 2019 年上線的 Disney+ 播出。不過《滾石》首席電視評論家艾倫塞平沃爾(Alan Sepinwall)卻透露,高層們已表明他們不想要讓 Netflix-Marvel 系列劇上線 Disney 的影音平台,而就算他們真想要這麼做,從合約的性質看來也是不可能的。
The execs have already said they don't want these shows on the Disney service. And even if they did, the nature of the contracts would make it virtually impossible. They're done. https://t.co/Jnox6YwafT

艾倫塞平沃爾進一步提到,由於 Disney+ 的漫威系列美劇皆由漫威電影的高層們打造,但他們與製作《漫威夜魔俠》的漫威電視方並未相處的很好,「事實上,他們可以在幾年後推出盧克凱吉的劇,但他們只是不想這麼做。且如果他們做了,他們會重新構思方向,像是索尼捨棄掉安德魯加菲德,改用湯姆荷蘭飾演蜘蛛人。」
I should clarify. The Marvel shows for Disney+ are being produced by Marvel movie execs, who do not like or get along with the Marvel TV execs who made Dardevil et al. Technically, they COULD make a Luke Cage show a few years down the line. They just don’t want to.

And if they did, they’d be starting over from scratch creatively, like Sony ditching the Andrew Garfield movies for Tom Holland as Spider-Man.

從艾倫塞平沃爾的一席話可看出《漫威夜魔俠》移到 Disney+ 的機率並不大,但由於 Netflix 先前聲明稿曾提及《漫威夜魔俠》的人物將會出現在漫威未來的項目中,究竟粉絲會在哪個平台再次看到這名英雄呢?讓我們一起靜待漫威早日宣布好消息。(comicbook、screenrant)
