    Not too keen on him as Matt Murdock, looks too young

    I loved him in Boardwalk Empire. Good stuff.

    Vincent D’Onofrio cast as Wilson Fisk :D

    That could be an inspired casting.

    It's what pushes me from intrigued to excited about this. He is such a terrific actor; it is perfect casting IMO.

    Rosario Dawson joins the cast.

    She would be a cool Elektra if that is who she is cast as.

    Vincent D'Onofrio Talks Playing 'Kingpin'.


    On a potential crossover with the MCU:
    "Well, I think they have some kind of plan. I’m not really allowed to discuss what the plan is, but they have a plan. I think the beginning of the plan is series stuff with Netflix, and then they have a bigger plan to branch out, but I wouldn’t be able to tell you specifically what that is."

    “Will not be afraid to go darker” than Marvel’s films. :D
    One obvious question is whether or not the Netflix characters will end up in big-screen stories. While DC seems determined to keep the TV and film universes separate, Marvel has already cross-pollinated the film and TV worlds via Agents of SHIELD, and will continue to do so in the upcoming Agent Carter series.
    Sarandos said,
    [A crossover] has definitely been talked about. ‘Daredevil’ is already shooting, since that’s out first. Eventually the series will run very close together. You can then have a separate season where the characters will cross over.
    I asked Kevin Feige the crossover question six weeks ago, and he demurred:
    We haven’t talked about that yet, really, because it’s just early days for that. Daredevil is in production right now. But it is the same universe, so there’s always potential for that.

    First image of the costume inspired by Frank Miller and John Romita, Jr.'s seminal DAREDEVIL: MAN WITHOUT FEAR series, widely considered to be one of the most important and influential Daredevil stories of all time.

    ^ Cox looks like Billy Bob Thornton is his lawyer suit and Zorro is his Daredevil suit :p I assume the Daredevil suit will change i.e. to red as the show progresses

    Flippin' American date formats; I had to google to figure out if it was coming out in April or October :D

    Daredevil's set in New York yeah? Is it known if the show will make any direct references to events that happened in The Avengers? Agents of SHIELD never really addressed the small matter of an alien invasion in the heart of NY, it'd be a little weird if Daredevil also skirted the issue...

    I've only seen each episode once, but I could have sworn that Coulson never shut up about that in the first few episodes? Kept mentioning it, and how he died, and how he was pals with the Avengers?...

    Yep they also had a number of episodes which dealt with artifacts left over from the battle - Chitauri Helmet

    Sorry, I didn't expand enough, I was talking from the point of view of a society, not just as a plot convenience: yeah there was a running thing of Coulson name-dropping the battle ad nauseum but it seems passing strange the world seemed to just carry on as if it was no big thing.

    It'd seem like a missed opportunity if a Marvel show set on the streets of New York didn't look at how people's lives might change or warp after the alien invasion. Everyone's otherwise so glib about it. It's often remarked how transformative the discovery of alien life would be on humanity - to have it invade the 5 Boroughs without it changing the world seems ... weird.

    In our world it would be a big thing. In a world with ironman, the norse god of thunder and a giant green Man, not so much.

    I don't agree, but it's speculation for now: I just hope Daredevil has the self-awareness to run with the notion that if aliens tried to demolish your city, or a giant space slug died ontop of your apartment building, it's going to change ordinary Joe Brooklyn's world. It's easy to dismiss an eccentric billionaire and his high-tech toys; aliens on the streets wrecking the place is going to leave scars - potentially interesting-for-a-plot scars. In a world of superheroes, what's it like being an ordinary citizen?

    Ah right, I understand where you're coming from now, and I agree.

    I do think that it will be touched upon in Daredevil and the other netflix shows though. They seem more "attached" to the streets so we should be seeing the effects of the aftermath (well, I hope we see it anyway)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,115 ✭✭✭✭Nervous Wreck


    Don't forget, these shows are set 2+ years after Avengers. By now, a lot of the fallout from the Battle of New York will be receding into the background anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 400 ✭✭Harvey Low Fat Milk


    Teaser for the teaser released, because that's a thing now apparently.

    Well it feels like there's a grittier edge to this than the Marvel films, or even Agents of SHIELD (though the tone there could be pretty scattershot at times). Certainly seems like there's more blood in that trailer than there has been in the entire cinematic run!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 400 ✭✭Harvey Low Fat Milk


    Looks good to me. Tone is certainly a shift for Marvel which isn't a bad thing. Even at PG-13 you can get away with so much so they should be stretching the limits a lot more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,877 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Disney/Marvel did say they went to Netflix because they could make it a lot more grittier and darker than they could do on traditional tv.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,629 ✭✭✭googled eyes


    Really liking the look of this. Going to Netflix could end up being a great move.

    Being able to binge from the day it's released will be a huge advantage to using Netflix, that and that there are only 13 episodes compared to other marvel shows with >20 episodes per season. The other marvel shows are kind of hard to commit to to be honest since you have to watch one episode a week for over half a year, that can cause you to just fizzle out viewing if there are a couple of bad episodes in a row. Waiting for their whole season to be out goes on for so long you can even forget about it and end up not being bothered to watch it all, which was how I was with AoS and also the DC shows.

    Funnily enough that's what has happened to me in the past. I'll come to a show a couple of seasons in and binge watch. Then my interest dies when I've to wait week to week.

    Much prefer binge watching ( although my wife hate's doing it. )

    I never even really properly binge, aside from breaking bad where I'd watch it from breakfast until i had to sleep lol, but even just being able to watch 2 or 3 episodes straight through a day with no ad breaks is amazing. Especially with the best made shows that feel like movies like True Detective, Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire.

    If you go on the page for this on the US Netflix it has a TV-MA rating so it look to have an R rating which is great news. The Miller and Bendis runs are supposed to be biggest influence so I'm glad that's not going to be diluted. Have any other Marvel studios films gone further than a PG-13 rating?

    Nice!

    All the films are 12A maximum AFAIK.

    I wonder is the get up a deliberate homage to the one he had in The trial of the Incredible Hulk because it looks very similar.

    I like the look of the trailer anyway :)

    It's an adaptation of Frank Miller's run on an origin arc called 'The Man Without Fear'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,877 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    The titles of the first three episodes are. Marvel are going mature.

    1)Into the Ring and carries a warning for “strong violence” and “bloody images.”

    2)Cut Man and is rated for “strong violence”

    3)Rabbit in a Snow Storm and is rated for “strong bloody violence”

    The first two episodes are directed by Phil Abraham who was the Cinematographer on The Sopranos & Mad Men.

    The reviews are in and most of it is looking unanimous in its praise.

    Comicbookmovie.com have a few snippets on their site here.

    My anticipation for this is genuinely higher than for Avengers: AOU.
