FX CEO Blames Marvel For Canceling Donald Glover’s Animated Deadpool Series
FX CEO John Landgraf has blamed Marvel for canceling Donald Glover's adult animated Deadpool series.
Marvel ordered the "adult action-comedy" series last year, with brothers Donald and Stephen Glover (Atlanta) attached as showrunners, writers and executive producers. However, the project was canceled earlier this year with "creative differences" being cited as the main reason for the cancellation.
Per Deadline, Landgraf revealed that the decision to abandon the idea was solely Marvel's. “Marvel controls the IP and the decisions around the IP," Landgraf said. "It was their decision not to go forward with Donald and Stephen’s version, I personally liked it."
