Netflix shelves projects all the time. It's the nature of made for streaming content. There's more of it, but it's also a lot more disposable.
It's basically something in between an actual movie and a pilot episode for a TV show.
It also sounds like it part of a bigger decision from the top up and could be related to the merger. HBO Max was pushing their superhero content, but now the parent company has decided that they want to save that all for theatrical films.
They're also probably looking at the luke warm response the Disney+ superhero shows are getting and going in a different direction.
