However, Mathers’ frustration on the matter isn’t coming out of nowhere; the rapper was featured in an issue of the Punisher’s comic series back in 2009, where the two fought side by side to take down the villain known as ‘Barracuda.’

‘The Punisher’ isn’t the only superhero series Netflix canceled, either – the service likewise brought the hammer down on ‘Jessica Jones,’ which joins the ranks of canceled Marvel series ‘Daredevil,’ ‘Iron Fist,’ and ‘Luke Cage.’

The reason for these divisive cancellations stems from Netflix’s five-year relationship with Marvel, which has since been terminated in light of hefty licensing fees and Disney’s ownership stake with the comic company.
