New Photo from Marvel's DAREDEVIL Series
Marvel has released a new photo from their upcoming Daredevil Netflix series. It features Charlie Cox all decked out in an early version of his Daredevil costume. It also shows him having taken down a bad guy in the streets of New York. There's also a photo of Cox as Matt Murdock, but that's an image we've already seen. The photos come from Entertainment Weekly, and the scans from Film Divider. Here's the synopsis:
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. Murdock sets up practice in his old neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, New York where he now fights against injustice as a respected lawyer by day and masked vigilante at night.
In a previous interview with showrunner Stephen S. DeKnight, he talked about what their vision of the series is saying:
"With this version of Daredevil we wanted it to be grounded, gritty, as realistic as we could portray. That naturally fits in with the Daredevil character. Matt Murdock, on a regular basis, would get the shit beat out of him. That's one thing that makes him a great character. He's not super strong. He's not invulnerable. In every aspect, he's a man that's just pushed himself to the limits, he just has senses that are better than a normal humans. He is human. The other thing that really drew me to this character is that he's one of the most morally grey of the heroes... He's a lawyer by day, and he's taken this oath. But every night he breaks that oath, and goes out and does very violent things."
I can't wait to finally be able to see some footage from the series. It seems like it's shaping up to be awesome. It's set to premiere in 2015.
