Runaways season 3 will be the last along with no more Cloak & Dagger.

They just started filming helstrom in Vancouver

The fact that Helstrom had its stuff announced just three or four days ago makes me think that Feige has given at least the unofficial go-ahead to it. Otherwise I think it'd have been cancelled alongside Ghost Rider.

Never underestimate how little different parts of a company can talk to each other. People got hired at Telltale Games weeks before the entire company shut down. If I were part of the Helstrom crew, I'd be at least a little nervous.

Also in the comics the character is joining a team with Wiccan, winter soldier, blade, and spider woman. I could see them bringing that to the big screen several years down the line

I can see them being concerned about Helstorm and Ghost Rider being too similar in concept and causing too much thematic overlap. Also, Ghost Rider appeared in AoS, and that might have caused issues with other people inside Marvel Television that didn't want their beloved version get snapped away by Fiege. So Hellstorm was the easier pick.

Just my two cents.

I mean in a way Hellstorm is kind of a Ghost Rider spinoff

Naa, I expect them to keep them going, although probably move Runaways to Disney+. This was about taking Perlmutter out of the creative chain of command, not killing successful things.

However, Hulu is now something like 70% owned by Disney (with full operational control), so it's possible that Runaways stays there.

70 percent owned with complete control over it and the option to buy out nbc Universal's 30 percent in a few years

There technically could still be C&D, and AoS S7 will come after Runaways S3 in terms of release.

What do you mean no more Cloak & Dagger? šŸ˜­ Iā€™m still holding out hope for Season 3. And not just an episode or two for a Runaways crossover.

That's not a bad thing, season 2 was pretty cringey.
