Today brought the surprising announcement that Hulu is adding two new Marvel Cinematic Universe shows to its streaming service: one featuring Gabriel Luna’s Ghost Rider, and another featuring the Marvel Comics characters Daimon and Ana Helstrom. This new push to expand Hulu’s MCU offerings (which already includes Runaways, as well as next-day streams of broadcast series Agents and SHIELD and Cloak & Dagger), has gotten fans excited for something new – and also the return of something old.

A lot of Marvel fans took a hard blow when it was announced that the Marvel Netflix series Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Punisher were all canceled. However, now that it’s clear that Marvel Studios will be building a TV universe well beyond the Disney+ service that’s tied to the movies, fans have new hope that some of those canceled Netflix shows could find new life on Hulu!
Scroll below for a look at fan speculation about the Marvel Netflix Universe’s return:

Of course, there are already some clear fan favorites for *which* Marvel Netflixย shows should be saved.ย
Clear Confusion
Hulu keeping ghost riderโs actor despite the shift from netflix where he was from… that energy better keep going to any next marvel shows. COUGH BRING BACK THE PUNISHER AND GIVE ME JON BERNTHAL BACK
โ Riley (@Wackerbagel) May 1, 2019
This fan is clearly confused about Ghost Rider (who actually debuted on ABC’sย Agents of SHIELD), but her desire to get The Punisherย back is all too clear.ย
The Fandom Will Prevail…
Day 153:

Daredevil picked up?: Not yet.
Fandom still strong and awesome?: Hell yeah!
Giving up?: Hell no! @Marvel @Hulu @Disney @FXNetworks @AmazonStudios @HBO anyone who will listen, please #SaveDaredevil
Two years is a price we’re willing to pay.
They’re all #WorthTheWait pic.twitter.com/wCM1gWNuyd
Is this is the new #ReleaseTheSnyderCut? Because Marvel has a real easy way out of that situation…ย
…Or Else
And…… @daredevil also in 2020? With Charlie Cox headline or the #fandomwithoutfear will strike ๐

It’s shocking how quickly things go from passionate fandom to violent threats. Or may it isn’t that surprising, anymore…
Justice For Foggy
hey @marvel @disney @hulu
โ Matt’s Dirty Alarm Clock (@DirtyAlarmClock) May 1, 2019
When you bring back Daredevil, can you let Elden ๐ฅ Henson keep his tattoos as Foggy?
Comics Foggy has tattoos and tv show Foggy totally seems like a guy that would have some tattoos as well.
Thanks! : )#savedaredevil
This is what is really at stake here. Obviously.ย
Stay tuned for more updates on the MCU Hulu shows.
