Not much is known about "Marvel's Daredevil," a new Web-series being worked on by Netflix. The adventures of the blind crime-fighter will be accessible on the online streaming site by April but there is still this shortage of particulars fans have been dealing with.
Nevertheless, viewers have a trailer to turn to. It doesn't reveal much apart from the promise of thrill, grit and bloodshed, but it's better than no sneak peak at all. And fans can also get a load of new details that come in the form of the titles of the first three episodes.
The first two installments to get "Marvel's Daredevil" off the ground are "Into the Ring" and "Cut Man." Screen Crush surmises that the Phil Abraham-directed episodes will be something in connection with boxing and Matt Murdock's father.
The official "Daredevil" Twitter account posted a teaser of a bout between Matt Murdoch's father, Jack, and Hydra assassin and boxer Carl "Crusher" Creel. This instigated rumors that "Marvel's Daredevil" will bring in a bit of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." into the action. The fight is also depicted as the "Daredevil: Yellow" miniseries, which was drawn out of the 2001 comic the show is based on.
Interestingly, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and "Daredevil" have the same executive producer, Jeph Loeb, which makes the crossover probable. However, it is likely that the fight will just be part of a flashback as a young Matt Murdock will be seen in the series.
As for the third episode called "Rabbit in a Snow Storm," which is directed by Adam Kane, Screen Crush believes that the white painting in the art gallery is what Wilson Fisk is fascinated about in the trailer.
Charlie Cox will take on the titular role of the Man Without Fear. Joining him are Deborah Ann Woll, Scott Glenn, Peter Shinkoda, Elden Henson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Rosario Dawson, Ben Urich, Ayelet Zurer and Bob Gunton.
"Marvel's Daredevil" is the first of the five Marvel Comics adaptations Netflix will bring onscreen. The four others are "Jessica Jones," "Luke Cage," "Iron Fist" and "The Defenders," which will bring all five heroes into one action-filled miniseries.
All 13 episodes of "Marvel's Daredevil" will be accessible starting April 10.
