Charlie Cox is Daredevil in Netflix Original

Just recently it has been revealed that the actor Charlie Cox (Stardust) has been cast as Daredevil in the upcoming Netflix original season of the same name. The season is set to run for thirteen episodes with hopes of further seasons after the pilot season's run.

The show will focus around Matt Murdock (Daredevil) who loses his vision which empowers his remaining senses. This show intends to explore the masked heroes lineage and history from the event that causes him to become Daredevil. We are expecting great things from this show and without a water shed we're expecting a darker take on Daredevil as a character and a darker setting of the iconic Hell's Kitchen. 

The most recent portrayal of Daredevil was played by Ben Affleck, so we're wondering if Cox can outshine him. Very little has been confirmed about the show however we now have a cast Daredevil and I think we can expect to see iconic Marvel heroes and villains stepping foot into Hell's Kitchen. I'm defiantly hoping to see a darker version of Elektra and a new portrayal of the relation between the two characters. I have a sneaky feeling we will get both of these elements along with an array of diverse and complex characters from the Marvel universe.

Netflix have upped their game in the past few years and are establishing themselves as a great television network in their own right, and I'm pretty sure with a project like Daredevil this status will only be increased! Having seen the success of Arrow and the excitement growing over Fox's upcoming Gotham it makes complete sense that Netflix would jump on the band wagon! And we're so happy they have!

What do you guys think? Better than Affleck? Excited for the show? Which masked heroes or villains are you hoping for? Feel free to comment below!
