Marvel putting Inhuman trust in its Iron Fist showrunner
The narrative overlap between Marvel’s flagship ABC series, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., and its Netflix shows has been essentially nonexistant, arguably because the entire MCU thought S.H.I.E.L.D. had disbanded long before the first season of Daredevil. (Hence, no one walking up to Luke Cage and asking why the hell the agency wasn’t coming after him.) But behind the scenes is shaping up to be a different story: According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel has tapped its Iron Fist showrunner, Scott Buck, to do the same thing for its upcoming ABC series The Inhumans. Which will either turn out to be a great move when Iron Fist premieres and receives the same general acclaim and popularity as the previous three Netflix superhero shows (especially Jessica Jones), or a mistake of Zack Snyder-esque proportions if it’s released and receives the critical equivalent of a desultory fart.
