Some Marvel fans will be furious that a long-awaited MCU series is officially cancelled.
Nowadays, there’s so much Marvel content to consume, whether it's a movie at the cinema, the comfort of your home via Disney Plus, video games, comics and much more. Depending on your perspective, there’s either too much or too little MCU content.

That being said, no matter what your perspective is, we all have one less MCU series to watch following the cancellation of the Disney Plus show, Okoye, based on the Wakandan and special forces General of the fictional African nation.
News of the Black Panther spin-off series was first announced in February 2021 and would have seen MCU actress and star of The Walking Dead, Danai Gurira reprise her role as Okoye. However, news on the Okoye series has been radio silent and now we know why.
“It’s clear with Marvel Studios’ focus on cutting back after The Marvels failed, that this project wouldn’t make it,” claimed Reddit user ChildofObama (via Cosmic Marvel/Pay or Wait). “I think outside of Daredevil: Born Again, live-action Disney Plus shows are on the way out in general.”
“Supporting characters are... supporting characters. They don't draw an audience,” said SumoHeadbutt.
“Good. Literally, nobody needs or wants that. Waste of time, money, and a spot for a show,” exclaimed itsucksredd.
“Quality over quantity. If the product they were working on was not developing as well as they wanted, I’m glad they scrapped it,” replied Jedi_Master83.
“I'm so bummed to hear this, but I hope they give the cast something else great to work on,” said AllBeautifulPlaces.
For those of you who may be disappointed that the Okoye show has been cancelled, at least you know that the character is likely to return in Black Panther 3 (which is yet to get a release date).
