Does Hawkeye’s Echo Reveal Tease Daredevil and Kingpin?

The trailer for Marvel series Hawkeye has the Avengers archer in the midst of Christmastime chaos tonally evocative of Die Hard—except, you know, in the streets of New York City and not a high-tech L.A. skyscraper. However, while the show’s long-teased idea of a reluctant Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) taking on a scrappy protégé in Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) comes to fruition before our eyes, the trailer also quickly flashes to another potentially important character, Echo, a deadly assassin who happens to have direct connections to Daredevil and Kingpin. Consequently, we could finally have a Marvel Cinematic Universe bridge to…

As fans know, Fox attempted a movie based around Daredevil in 2003, starring Ben Affleck as the title character,…

One of the questions lingering over the launch of a slew of Marvel Studios shows on Disney+ is whether the characters introduced on the nine Marvel shows that aired in the last decade on Netflix or ABC — including Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Agents of SHIELD, and others — could find their way to the Disney streaming service in rebooted form.

Spider-Man 3: Charlie Cox Daredevil Return Would Redeem the Marvel Netflix Universe

Casting news for Spider-Man 3, has been surreal and chaotic—in the best possible way. Now, in the aftermath of reports that villains from previous franchise iterations like Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock and Jamie Foxx’s Electro will return (in a manner not yet known), a strong rumor is now pointing to the addition of a displaced Marvel hero, Charlie Cox’s Daredevil; a move that, if true, would mark the first big screen acknowledgement of Marvel’s nixed Netflix television corner. The ever-growing rumor (recently boosted by trade TV Line,) implies that Cox’s Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, will go from small-screen cancelation by…

Matthew Vaughn Wanted to Cast Daredevil’s Charlie Cox as Superman

Daredevil star Charlie Cox was on Matthew Vaughn’s mind back in 2008 when he found himself on the list that Warner Bros and DC had drawn up for possible directors to pair with their new Superman movie. Though the powers that be eventually chose Zack Snyder to helm what would end up being Man of Steel, and Henry Cavill to star in it, Vaughn was understandably excited about what he could bring to the project, and one of those things could have very well been his Stardust leading man. In a new interview, Vaughn’s frequent collaborator Mark Millar has been…
