The cast and creative teams behind Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of Daredevil took the main stage at New York Comic Con earlier today, marking their first public appearance together. Wowing the NYC fans were Marvel’s Head of Television, Jeph Loeb and Daredevil stars Charlie Cox (Matt Murdoch/Daredevil), Vincent D’Onofrio (Wilson Fisk/Kingpin), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), Toby Moore (Wesley), Bob Gunton (Leland Owlsley), Ayelet Zurer (Vanessa) and Vondie Curtis-Hall (Ben Urich).
The show, set to debut in 2015, is connected to the larger Marvel universe, so don’t rule out a crossover with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or connection to the cinematic universe way down the line, but we first have to watch and see what the 13-episodes of the gritty Hell’s Kitchen-set show have in store for fans of The Man Without Fear (in addition to the three other Marvel NYC based shows coming to Netflix).
The first images from the series have been released, one of them revealing an interesting back-to-basics take on the Daredevil costume (and not in a yellow color scheme way).
Here is Marvel’s official synopsis of the show:
Blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, Matt Murdock fights against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the super hero Daredevil in modern day Hell’s Kitchen, New York City.
“Marvel’s Daredevil” is a live action series that follows the journey of attorney Matt Murdock, who in a tragic accident was blinded as a boy but imbued with extraordinary senses.
