A New ‘Daredevil’ Series is Reportedly In Development at Disney+

Ever since the deal between Marvel and Netflix expired and the various Marvel TV series arrived on Disney+, speculation began that the streaming service might see the return of characters such as Daredevil or Luke Cage.

And given Vincent D’Onofrio’s key appearance as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin in Disney+ series ‘Hawkeye’ and Charlie Cox showing up for a cameo on the big screen's ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, all the signs were that Kevin Feige and team Marvel were pointing to a return engagement for their characters.

Of course, this is the point where we remark that as yet, everything to know about the series comes from sources talking to Variety. Marvel has, as is its common policy, made no official statement at the time of writing.

Here’s what we know so far. The company certainly appears to be in development on a new ‘Daredevil’ series, one that would presumably feature the full return of Charlie Cox as the Man Without Fear. And with D’Onofrio’s Kingpin out there too (even with the ambiguous way his final ‘Hawkeye’ confrontation with Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez ended), the stage would seemingly be set for a rematch between the two old foes.

So far, Matt Corman and Chris Ord, who co-created ‘Covert Affairs’ will be leading the writing and serving as executive producers on the show.

Corman and Ord have also worked on shows including ‘The Enemy Within’ and ‘The Brave’ on NBC as well as The CW’s ‘Containment’.

The Netflix series ran for three seasons between 2015 and 2018, and starred Cox as Matt Murdock, the lawyer blinded in an accident as a child who also gained superior sonar powers. He splits his time between legal cases and donning his Daredevil outfit to fight crime.

That show’s cast also included Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson and helped spin off the likes of Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher, played by Jon Bernthal.

Whether the rest of the cast will be back to support Cox remains to be seen, but fans will surely be hoping that most of them come back. And depending on the success of ‘Daredevil’, that could open the door to the other main characters, which is an exciting concept.

Marvel has been pumping out shows for Disney+, weaving stories and characters from the wider MCU movies. So far this year alone we’ve seen ‘Moon Knight’, starring Oscar Isaac with ‘Ms. Marvel’ due on June 8th and ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ landing on August 17th. A trailer for the latter show just dropped this week.

On the big screen front, we’ve most recently seen ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ (which tied into Disney+ series ‘WandaVision’) and ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ next up in theaters on November 11th.
