Taking on the lead role of Daredevil is Charlie Cox. Daredevil's ater ego is Matt Murdock who went blind during a child. Murdock is however gifted with extra-ordinary senses and used them to fight injustices by night. Murdock is a lawyer by day, similar to that of who Daredevil was in the famed Marvel Comic series.

Joining Cox in the cast of Marvel's Daredevil are Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), Rosario Dawson (Claire Temple) and Vincent D' Ontorio (Wilson Frisk aka the Kingpin).

The new series is expected to be hooked up with other Marvel series, crossing over and probably hooking up Daredevil with other super hero characters. That includes five coming series like Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and the DefendersThe storyline could also be factored in to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe meaning there is a possibility that Daredevil could be included into the Avengers later on.
