The Full Teaser Trailer For Marvel / Netflix’ ‘Daredevil’ Is Now Online!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Well, after that mysterious and enticing teaser trailer from yesterday morning, Marvel and Netflix has just debuted the full teaser trailer for Aprils Daredevil.

It’s way, way better than the Ant-Man trailer, and (as we knew long ago) it’s going to be 13-episodes of the man without fear goodness. Guess who’s not going to work today?

The production values here look high, I dig the way Charlie Cox presents himself as Matt Murdock, and I love seeing that Frank Miller inspired black suit in motion. It’s going to be very interesting to see how Marvel handles an actual superhero in a TV show, and I cannot wait for April 10th.

Take a look at the teaser below, and let us know what you think! Daredevil hits Netflix on April 10th.

Briefly: Marvel and Netflix have just debuted a promising 15-second teaser for April’s 13-episode Daredevil series, noting that a full trailer for the series will premiere online tomorrow.

In the teaser, we get to hear Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock for the first time, and he’s sounding pretty stellar. Take a look at the teaser below, and check back tomorrow for the full trailer.

I feel like I’m looking forward to Daredevil and Marvel’s other Netflix projects more than any of the MCU films this year. What are your thoughts?

Marvel/Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ Premiere Date Announced!

by Eric Francisco

From Comic Book Resources: Marvel’s Daredevil will premiere exclusively on Netflix on April 10, 2015. Starting at 12:01 AM Pacific time that day, all 13 one-hour episodes will be readily available. In a post-House of Cards era, we know the deal already.

In addition, Marvel Studios has released a neat little motion poster with a static version (seen below).

The showrunners have likened Daredevil to The Wire, which is a ballsy statement for sure. Hell’s Kitchen in 2015 is a different place than it was when Daredevil first fought crime there in the comic books, so it’s really fascinating to me how they’re trying to depict a gritty city corner in the larger, cosmic Marvel Universe. I for one am looking forward to this show just to see how they address this paradox.

Will you be watching? Wait, of course you are. Never mind.

New ‘Daredevil’ Images Show Off Matt Murdock, Black Suit

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We got our first look at Charlie Cox as Marvel/Netflix’s Daredevil all the way back at NYCC, and this week EW gave us a new look at Matt Murdock in both lawyer and superhero forms.

EW also notes that Cox will don the classic red suit at some point during the series (now shut up, haters), but as we know, he’ll begin the story in the Frank Miller inspired duds.

Marvel’s TV Chief Jeph Loeb notes that “There aren’t going to be people flying through the sky; there are no magic hammers. We’ve always approached this as a crime drama first, superhero show second,” While showrunner Steven S. DeKnight adds “It’s a little grittier and edgier than Marvel has gone before, but we’re not looking to push it to extreme violence or gratuitous nudity.”

However things turn out, at this point we could not be more excited. Take a look at the two new images below, and let us know what you think. Daredevil will hit Netflix in 2015.
