Well, you can add two more series Marvel has decided to axe. As the studio will not be moving forward with
Howard the Duck and
Tigra & Dazzler animated series that were set for Hulu.
Reports emerged back in December that production on
Tigra & Dazzler was put on hold due to creative differences. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the writing staff on the series was let go, and were to be replaced, but now the series is done altogether.
As of now, there is no reason as to why both of the series were cancelled.

Howard The Duck made a very brief cameo in
Guardians of the Galaxy and even appeared in
Avengers: Endgame during the final battle — blink and you’ll miss it. Fans were looking forward to his own series.
Howard the Duck and
Tigra & Dazzler were part of a four-series animated slate which also included
M.O.D.O.K. and
Hit-Monkey which was all set to culminate in
The Offenders crossover. While
M.O.D.O.K. and
Hit-Monkey are still a go at Hulu,
The Offenders crossover is now far less likely.
As the transition from the Jeph Loeb-led era of Marvel Television comes to its end and Kevin Feige begins to have greater creative control over film and television projects via his Marvel Studios TV, the last series in the Loeb-era Marvel TV slate now consists of the upcoming final season of
Agents of SHIELD and Hulu live-action drama
Helstrom. (Hulu’s live-action scripted
Ghost Rider drama was also scrapped after scoring a straight to series order at the streamer alongside
Helstrom.)
Hulu announced in November that the third season of drama
Runaways would be its last and Marvel TV’s other live-action shows FX’s
Legion, Freeform’s
Cloak & Dagger ended/canceled last year.
Moving forward all focus will be on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and their scripted series which include
Loki, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and lastly
What If? (animated).
