JUPITER'S LEGACY Star Josh Duhamel Responds To Series Being "Dumped" By Netflix

Following Wednesday night's announcement that Jupiter's Legacy will not be returning for a second season on Netflix, several members of the cast have taken to social media to share their reactions. We heard from Leslie Bibb, Matt Lanter and Andrew Horton yesterday, and series lead Josh Duhamel has now weighed in.

The Transformers actor, who plays mega-powerful hero The Utopian in the adaptation of Mark Millar's comic series, shared a shirtless photo of himself with the caption: "When you get dumped by @netflix and have to put yourself back out there.... #sexysantasummer. What’s up, @hulu?"

We assume he's joking about the rival streamer potentially picking up the show, but it definitely sounds like he's not best pleased with Netflix for deciding to "dump" Jupiter's Legacy after just one season.

Though writer/EP Millar maintains that the door is open for the show to return down the line, he has now turned his attention to a live-action Supercrooks series which will be set in the same universe. While this would potentially allow for characters from Season 1 of Jupiter's Legacy to appear, it's yet to be confirmed if that's something Netflix is planning.

How do you guys feel about Jupiter's Legacy being cancelled? Drop us a comment down below.

I feel like they could've gotten him a better wig.

@RageDriver2401 - those white, silver, blonde wigs all kind of stink.

Game of Thrones,
House of the Dragon
Witcher...

Just a tough sell sometimes if you don’t see the follicles going in for real.

@Battabing - last time anyone knew he was still around and going strong still being featured in more than one comic. I'm not too big into him after new avengers but wouldnt that count as a ...Thing?
Battabing
Battabing - 6/4/2021, 10:03 PM
@DarthHideous -
You mean Bendis's New Avengers where Sentry just sat in his room and moped until the Avengers needed something punched?
SuperZeroCustmz
SuperZeroCustmz - 6/4/2021, 10:36 PM
@Battabing - yes, thats exactly what i'm talking about and as i was saying where I stopped caring about if he was part of it but he still was there and still is highly featured still to this day in a bunch of marvel comic runs. i count 5 atm unless i'm mistaken and he plays a part in all of them whether he is just in the background. really just sounds like you dislike a character that others do. that and you dislike it when others make a comparison between a wig on josh duhamel and it looking kind of like the sentry and that being annoying to you as much as you chiming in when that happened. believe me as I'd love for people like yourself to stop trying to make anything out there ...A thing

@Battabing - the MCU could always redefine him and actually make him cooler than he was in the comics. I always feel like the more shittier characters have more cinematic potential for just how much leeway and creative freedom the creators can take.

If this leads to him being cast as Santa claus...

@Origame - Maybe he'll star in an adaptation of Grant Morrison's Klaus.

I feel like a 2nd season would have benefited the show but overall it was kind of disappointing outing.

Not the fault of the actors but more so the writing.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 6/4/2021, 1:39 PM
@Cbmfilmjunkie - I don't blame the actors. I feel like the show was trying too hard to be cool. Like it was over stylized, if that makes sense?
Himura
Himura - 6/4/2021, 3:56 PM
@CorndogBurglar - The timing couldnt have been worse either since The Boyz and Invincible did what they were trying to accomplish way better. If this series had come out before it might've stood a better chance.

He could honestly play Superman, i really liked him as Utopian. Him and Matt Lanter were great

@Saga - what are you even talking about? Superman is a black man.

If it wasn't clear I'm definitely kidding around.

@DarthHideous - Just because you don't want Clark Kent to be black, doesn't make you a racist. There are black Supermans in the multi verse, which they should use instead. Race switching Clark Kent is just inviting WOKE crap into a movie thereby ruining it.
Mankzin2
Mankzin2 - 6/5/2021, 5:31 AM
@Mankzin2 - Now if they go with a black actor for Clark Kent and DO NOT bring up race, not even hinted at then I am for it. Best Actor gets the part always.

His material during the stuff set in the 1930s was great. I thought it was some of his best work.

The shaw was pretty decent, I would have watched a 2nd season for sure. Perhaps the budget wasnt justified, though it looked only mid-budget at best.

I've always liked Duhamel, he's always seemed like a better actor then hes given credit as. Well maybe now a network will buy my pitch for a show starring Timothy Olyphant and him as crime fighting brothers trying to solve the hardest cases.
ElricReturns
ElricReturns - 6/4/2021, 1:34 PM
@CurlyBill - but their parents split and each took one. Olyphant was raised in the south while Duhamel was raised in New York. Both became cops like their dad, Olyphant is actually sherif where his dad was, but suddenly their dad started acting odd and took off on the road to "set something right", and turns up violently butchered in the woods somewhere in Maine. So the brothers reunite to solve their fathers murder and the mystery that leads them on a cross country case.
ElricReturns
ElricReturns - 6/4/2021, 1:35 PM
Their styles of law enforcement clash, as do their views on their father and why their parents split up. They have to tackle their past, their fathers past and their family trauma to solve this case.
ElricReturns
ElricReturns - 6/4/2021, 1:37 PM
Olyphant calls Duhamel "big little brother". Lol
CurlyBill
CurlyBill - 6/4/2021, 1:51 PM
@ElricReturns -

Someone call the networks we've got the hottest new show of the summer, right here.
