- "I feel how you all feel. And I just want to clear up what I can here. This is not a marketing stunt. There is no movie in the works. And Destin’s schedule, and no one’s schedule, was an issue. Yahya, Destin, Sir Ben, and I all loved making this show. All felt passionately about continuing to do it and were eager to. Contracts were signed, schedules were cleared. The writer’s room was supposed to start this month. The production was supposed to begin early next year."
- Reasons?
- Destin Daniel Cretton could be moving on to other projects like Spider-Man 5 or Shang-Chi 2

- Renewal was promotional stunt to see if more people watched it under the assumption a second season was happening
