"Marco Polo" fans are still holding out on an update on the show's third season, which has yet to be announced. Although there are speculations that the series will be delayed due to budgetary constraints, there could be another reason why "Marco Polo" Season 3 will get a later air date next year.
Is it possible that the show is finding a way to work around Benedict Wong's hectic schedule now that the actor is confirmed to appear in "Avengers: Infinity War"? Will Kublai Khan end up becoming a recurring character when "Marco Polo" Season 3 comes to Netflix?
