In a few days, the Marvel Cinematic Universe will expand further with the Man Without Fear finally starting on his crime-fighting spree on Netflix. "Marvel's Daredevil" will premiere on April 10 and there is probably no one more excited than the cast to show off what they worked hard for.
Charlie Cox, who plays the role of the sightless vigilante, cannot help but gush over how cool his filming in a ninja-like costume was in Manhattan. Talking to New York Daily News, he called the shooting of a superhero series during the "vampire shift" an "occupational hazard."
"In New York that means dark alleys and seedy rooftops. And when you're wearing a super hero costume it makes it probably five times as cool," the actor said.
Describing his character, he said that Daredevil alter-ego Matt Murdock is a "walking contradiction."
"He's a lawyer by day and a vigilante at night. He's a committed Catholic on the one hand and at the same time he's playing God," Cox said, explaining his character in a nutshell.
Netflix is very generous in showing off trailers to excite fans even more and rake in more viewers to follow along in the blind superhero's pursuits. The third and fourth trailers for "Marvel's Daredevil" have been released, both promising to retrace Murdock's steps into becoming his city's redeemer.
His troubles will mostly be from one man who desires nothing less than to have the city die, reborn and become ready for takeover. Wilson Fisk who is better as the Kingpin, is the most feared and powerful crime lord in Hell's Kitchen.
Vincent D'Onofrio, who snagged the supervillain role, shared to Esquire that he prepared for it by rereading graphic novels "[Brian Michael] Bendis series and the Frank Miller series and some of Jeff Loeb's stuff."
"Once [executive producers] Jeff Loeb and DeKnight, once we had our conversations and they told me where they wanted to go, the kind of show Daredevil was going to be, I just got super excited. And to have that happen when there's this whole Marvel universe going on is an exciting thing," D'Onofrio said. "It's a great company and I was hoping when they went into it that they would be great to work for and they were just amazing. Marvel's an amazing company to work for."
As Daredevil attempts to seek justice for his father, he realizes that the city has a bigger fault than what it shows. Viewers can discover the story of the Man Without Fear when "Marvel's Daredevil" premieres all 13 episodes on Netflix on April 10.
