Amazing news for fans of Hell’s Kitchen’s favorite defender! A new report claims Disney Plus will be getting a Daredevil series — a welcome sign that the Defenders Saga’s final MCU appearance won’t be a one-off.
News of the series just broke today (May 19) of diverse, which had no official comment from Disney or reported book/executive motivator Matt Corman and Chris Ord. But the presence of the new series is not exactly a huge surprise.
Daredevil (well, Matt Murdock) and his nemesis Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin have both recently appeared in Marvel movies and shows, with the former appearing in Spider-Man: No Way Home and the latter appearing in Hawkeye. One would assume that both would reprise their roles in this series.
Corman and Ord are best known for co-creating the USA Network’s Secret Affairs series, a prank-filled series starring Piper Perabo and Christopher Gorham.
Analysis: Why we waited for Disney Plus Daredevil – and where Charlie Cox could appear next
Daredevil was the first and one of the most popular Netflix Marvel shows, but his characters have been in hiding since all of those shows were canceled. This is because the terms of Netflix’s contract state that these characters cannot appear outside of Netflix for two years after they are cancelled.
So, fans wait. And then, last December (right before Matt Murdock appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home), we learned that Charlie Cox would be playing Daredevil in the MCU. And if you’ve seen No Way Home in theaters like the ones I’ve seen, the big pop of Cox’s comeback was as good a sign as any of him losing his presence.
However, we could see Daredevil or Murdoch appear again in the MCU before this new series comes out. Because, of course, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is right there (it debuted August 17), giving Marvel an excuse for the supernatural legal battle of the century. Or at least a veil.
Until then, stay tuned while we look forward to seeing Defender pop up in the MCU next. Hopefully, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, just the occasional drink at a bar She-Hulk was on a date.
