Variety reported that Marvel Studios has started developinga newDaredevilseriesfor the Disney Plus streaming service. Not many details have been released about the show, but Matt Corman and Chris Ord, both of whom co-created the showCovert Affairsstarring Piper Perabo from 2010 to 2014, have been attached to write and produce. Even those details have yet to be confirmed by Disney. Reports have yet to indicate if Cox or D’Onofrio will reprise the roles they played back when the show was on Netflix, but it’s highly likely given that they have been featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This news also begs the question if Elden Henson will return as Foggy Nelson or if Deborah Ann Woll will return as Karen Page. With how season 3 ended, one can’t also help but wonder if Wilson Bethel will return as Bullseye or if Ayelet Zura will return as Vanessa Fisk.
It doesn’t stop there. IfDaredevilis getting revived by Disney Plus, does that mean otherNetflix shows likeJessica Jones,Luke Cage,Iron Fist, andThe Punisherwill also get started up again? Also, is this new Daredevil series going to pick up right from where they left off or are they going to start from scratch? Will it continue its adult themes, or will it be geared more toward children so that it can be more easily connected to the MCU? So many questions, which are sure to be answered in due time.
Considering that Disney decided to bringthe Marvel Netflix showsonto its own streaming service, and knowing how popularDaredevilwas when it was on Netflix, it’s probably in their best interest to not start from scratch or take on a completely new tone. There’s no reason to fix what isn’t broken, especially knowing that the show left fans on a cliffhanger following an epic third season. If they try a new approach, that may serve to infuriate fans since they’ve been asking for this show to pick up from where it left off since 2018.
Marvel Studios has done an expert job at keeping fan interest because they have given the fans what they wanted. When they wanted a collaboration of heroes to come together for a team-up, Marvel Studios gave it to them. When they wanted familiar faces from previous franchises to come back for another movie, Marvel Studios gave it to them. When they wanted to see Marvel Studios give their own interpretations of heroes previously not portrayed well by other studios, Marvel Studios previously has and will give it to them. If Marvel Studios knows what’s good for them, they’ll continue Daredevil from when we last saw him on Netflix.
