Goddammit.

Best case scenario, Season 2 is released, and Frank Dean is later killed off if Season 3 comes around. This could happen given that filming already wrapped, and unlike Netflix's Gore movie it has a massive brand attached to it so just ditching the season would be problematic for the MCU. I don't think they'll go so far as to ditch a whole season, or even cut or reshoot scenes (a la 'All the Money in the World' with Kevin Spacey for Christopher Plummer). Keep in mind that 'Deadpool 2' went by just fine with having TJ Miller in it and featured in its trailers and marketing, even after the stuff came out about what he did.

If I'm gonna predict, I think the story about PRIDE will be finished in season 2, and if not then the story of Frank Dean might be. I predict that with him being under Jonah in terms of controlling the church, that might lead to his inevitable fall.

Or if the character is planned to stick around, I think recasting might be a good option. My main pick would be Patrick Wilson, assuming he's free to do stuff after 'Aquaman'.
