A few months after the Marvel shows were abruptly canceled by Netflix, rumors started spreading that Kevin Feige was looking to reboot the entire roster of characters that appeared on the streaming service and bring them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since then, reports have claimed that if the Defenders were to reappear in the MCU, then Krysten Ritter, Charlie Cox and Jon Bernthal all stood a solid chance of continuing to play Jessica Jones, Daredevil and the Punisher respectively.

Of course, it was hardly surprising that Finn Jones was set to be replaced as Danny Rand, given the generally poor reception for both seasons of Iron Fist, along with speculation that Marvel were looking to cast an Asian-American actor in the role and introduce them as part of the Shang-Chi franchise.

Unfortunately, that left Luke Cage star Mike Colter as the odd one out. The show’s two seasons were largely praised by critics for balancing superhero action with socio-political themes, with Colter’s quietly charismatic and soulful performance as the title character drawing almost unanimous praise, but it seems as though his run as Power Man is officially over.

With Luke Cage set to be rebooted in the near future, Marvel are now on the lookout for a new name to take over the role and Terry Crews is being eyed to join the MCU as Harlem’s guardian angel.
