Cabin in the Woods Director to Write DAREDEVIL Series!
As you know, Marvel recently announced that they would be developing four new series for Netflix, one of which is Daredevil. The Wrap is now reporting that the studio has hired Cabin in the Woods co-writer and director Drew Goddard to write the series for Netflix. This is a pretty big deal for Goddard as he's a huge fan of Daredevil.
The other live-action series based on Marvel characters being developed are Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist. All of these shows will lead to a miniseries that brings together The Defenders superhero team.
Not only has Goddard worked with Joss Whedon on Cabin in the Woods, but they also worked together on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. He also worked on Lost and Alias.
When talking about his Daredevil fandom with Collider, Goddard said,
“You’re talking to a guy who had quotes from Daredevil painted on his wall while growing up. Even when I was 18, I still had the blood red door with the, ‘I have shown him that a man without hope is a man without fear.’ That was what I loved and so it’s the sort of thing that if we can find the right project, I would love to do it.”
I think Goddard is a great choice to take this one, and I'm excited to see what he is going to do with it. What are your thoughts on him taking on the series? I bet he ends up directing the pilot episode too.
