Details On DAREDEVIL's Connection to the MCU, Plus New Motion Poster
If you’ve been wondering how Daredevil will tie into the rest of the Marvel cinematic universe, we’ve got some information that you might want to check out, along with a new motion poster. In a recent interview with Empire, Marvel Television’s Emma Fletcher, explained a little bit about how the series will tie in with everything else. She also offers a timeline of when Daredevil is set in the current storyline that is playing out in the MCU.
"We are still part of the Marvel Universe, but we are not explicitly in that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. world. We're in our own corner. So the aliens came down and ruined the city, and this is the story of Hell's Kitchen's rebuild."
The report also mentions seeing a framed newspaper in the office of the New York Bulletin in the series, and that paper shows Stark Tower “being zapped by a Chitauri laser beam.”
Daredevil is set to be released on Netflix before Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters, but if the series gets another season, I'm sure the characters in it will be dealing with the effects of what that movie causes as well. When asked if there would possibly be a second season, showrunner Steven S. DeKnight said,
"We certainly hope so! I mean, it's totally up to Netflix. But I think it's a phenomenal season and we certainly end in up a place where we could tell many other stories."
I hope they are going to be able to continue these stories. I think it would even be awesome if one day Daredevil found itself back on the big screen! I guess it all depends on what the fan reaction is when the series is released.
The star of the series, Charlie Cox, also talked to Empire and said that fans should be on the lookout for "a couple of very casual Easter egg references to other superheroes." The magazine then asked him if there’s a possibility that he could appear in Captain America: Civil War. He told them that he wouldn't turn down the offer if it happened, but cautioned that "in this show, Daredevil feels special, like a big thing, not an everyday occurance. It's not like he's one of that lot..."
I don’t think we’ll see Daredevil in Civil War, but I do think that eventually he should start making appearances in future films of the MCU. What do you think about that?
