I was about to say me until I remembered FalconVision and the Loki Soldier. Apart from that though...
I'm guessing as acclaimed as Evil is, it doesn't get CSI, NCIS, Criminal Minds numbers. It's not safe enough to be on CBS.
Mandalorian was going to have that draw because it was Star Wars with a built in fan base. I just don't think there are any of these shows moving from cable to Paramount Plus are going to pull people over.
Evil stars Luke Cage. So long as Paramount + is making Evil, they're cockblocking Disney + from rebooting Cage.
I heard that Disney had to wait 3 years until they could reproduce any of the Netflix shows, and that Disney/Marvel had approached some of the Netflix actors about coming back, even if they had to redo their origin stories. Oh. Use a different Doctor Who as the Purple Man? Matt F##king Smith.
I very much hope they bring back Daredevil and Punisher. Those were really good shows. I’m sure Disney will find a way to fuck them both up, though.
What if the Netflix actors become secondary characters in multiple movies... Although, half the cast of Daredevil should probably be in the Upcoming She-Hulk series.
CBS has moved NCIS after 18 years on Tuesdays. In response to Dick Wolf Chicago Wednesdays and Dick Wolf Law & Order Thursdays on NBC, CBS will now have Dick Wolf FBI Tuesdays. Holy cow, you can watch 9 hours of brand new Dick Wolf over three straight days.
Maybe I'm missing something, but surely it's pretty much the opposite? If Colter is tied up with Evil, surely that means that any Luke Cage appearances are more likely if not guaranteed to be a (soft) reboot/recast of the character with a new actor?
I think it didn't just need to be in the Star Wars universe, it also had to have insanely good word of mouth. If Mandalorian had turned out so-so, it wouldn't have been a draw.
They need Mike in order to have him as Luke Cage (which I agree would not be a bad thing as his version of the character is solid), they don't need him to have someone else play the character which is what you said that they can't do.
It might work, but all those characters are pretty mundane by comparison to the super-humans, mutants and gods that occupy the MU at the cinematic level. They have talent in their respective fields, but they'll all likely need an equipment overhaul just to keep up with the higher-tier characters. Punisher, for example, will probably need a portable/personal thermonuclear grenade launcher. Maybe a new extension to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Do you know how cockblocking works? They can remake Cage without Mike Colter, but they shouldn't. They probably know this. So they can't. Coy and Vance Duke. Speaking of that, on Mythic Quest, the female lead was lying on the hood of a car last night, and the male lead said "a porsche is not the general lee!" And then shocked, the female lead squeaks "You can't say that anymore!" HEAVENS TO MURGATROYD!
Exactly my point, rebooting the character is still Disney's choice, Paramount isn't stopping them from doing that, at most they are forcing them to reboot or not use the character because Paramount is "cockblocking" use of Mike Coulter as Luke Cage. The only party who could possibly block use of Cage entirely would be Netflix, and I believe that their option has lapsed.
I'm willing to bet the majority of MCU viewers don't know who Mike Coulter is or that there was a Luke Cage show.
