He was also the roach from Men In Black.

Do you completely change course of the direction of the Avenger movies to fit the new crew, or do you do the reverse? Both could end badly


They have it all planned out. After the 3rd Avengers movie The Defenders will take over.

That doesn't answer my question

They have fundamentally different tones. I'm just curious how they will mix those

I'm wondering that as well. I mean, Cap 2 was about as dark as an MCU movie has been so far (AoU is probably way darker), and it was rainbows and puppies compared to Daredevil.

Wait to we get to AKA Jessica Jones. I mean, if they are adapting the Alias book, and I don't see how they aren't... oh my God. That was a bleak title.

Great. But bleak.

So of these characters, who would you put in season 2 and who would you cast?

Frank Castle (Punisher)
Elektra Natchios
Bullseye
Jonathan Powers (Jester)
Quentin Beck (Mysterio: CRITICAL to the Karen Page storyline)
Dakota Nelson
Kirsten McDuffie
Milla Donovan
Maggie Murdock
Rosalind Sharpe
Philip Sterling (Death's Head)
Maya Lopez
Deborah Harris
Parker Robbins (Hood)
Carlos LaMuerto (Black Tarantula)
Mary Walker (Typhoid Mary)

They hinted at Elektra, and I guess you sort of have to do her storyline, but I'd love it if they created some distance from the Frank Miller Daredevil and delved into the Bendis Daredevil (which also ties in much better to Jennifer Jones and Civil War).

Of all the heroes who could have consequences from being outed, Daredevil has the most at stake in the MCU. I'd love to see him Murdock actually doing courtroom stuff to protect his secret identity, denying his public outing.

I think the show's greatest strength is its economy. Let's not bring in a bunch of other characters. Let's keep it small and intimate, and the stakes personal. I could live with Bullseye, as he ties into the Hand, but let's just make next season about the Hand, Fisk, and Owsley. The players are already set up, there's no need to expand the universe.

Keep watching. I honestly thought Dare Devil himself was kind of meh, but D'onofrio is great as Kingpin. This is a show or hopefully just season, where the bad guys are more interesting than the good guys.

I like the guy that plays daredevil but kingpin was all kinds of cheesy imo

Could season 2 potentially have Peter Parker being defended by Murdock and Nelson after the events of Civil War?

Would that not be season 3 considering civil war doesn't happen until next year?

Release date for Daredevil Season 2 is supposedly July of 2016, which is 2 months after Civil War.

just finished the first season this morning and enjoyed it.

no major complaints.

i will say that i really enjoyed the last episode and it's pacing till.....










*spoiler*




he got the suit. not that it was bad or anything, but i felt like we went from crime noir to hoaky in a manner of seconds. when it cut back and showed the full suit, i thought he looked like a scrawny dweeb. not a badass.

In Episode 2, my wife said Daredevil needs to eat a sandwich. He's scrawny the whole way through.
