We broke down the new trailer for Marvel’s Daredevil Netflix TV series and found plenty to love.
Check it out…
Marvel just gave us our most substantial look at theirDaredevilNetflix TV series yet.
Well…not this time.Daredevillooks quite different from the rest of the Marvel live-action universe, and its wonderful.
Oh, go ahead…watch it one more time.
Then we can talk about all the cool things we found in it:
Ready?
Or in this case, very bloody.
His face, too…as long as its somebody elses blood.
Maybe Wilson Fisk changes that.
That stuff should be radioactive by now.
Alright, enough of Wilson Fisk.
Look, not all lawyers are bad.
Above we see the most humble beginnings of Nelson and Murdock, Attorneys at Law.
Dont worry, they clearly got a better shingle for themselves.
Meet Ben Urich
Finally!
Our first look at Vondie Curtis-Hall as Ben Urich.
Urich doesnt work for theDaily Bugle, sadly…its the equally fictionalNew York Register.
But given all those recent developments regarding Marvel Studios and Spider-Man (have you heard about any of these?
), maybe theres a transfer in his future.
Or maybe they can fix it in post!
Maybe its the playing card.
Time to renew that gym membership.
This is about as violent a sock to the face as weve ever seen Marvel deliver.
Holy moley, these stunts.
I betDaredevilups the ante.
Never has a man leaping through a window looked quite so artistic.
Are they frakking kidding me with this shot?
Its Actually Kinda Beautiful
This shot is just here because its gorgeous.
Clearly,Daredevildoesnt have this problem.
Karen has some issues.
Issues that, if the show is smart, it wont really begin exploring until later seasons.
Im willing to bet theyll lay a firm bit of groundwork here, though.
Night Nurse!
But this next image…
Paging Night Nurse?
New Villains!
Check out Bob Gunton as Leland Owlsley, who I bet the guys call The Owl behind his back.
This is not a bad thing.
I also know that hes the character who kind of broke my heart in this trailer.
Im glad you asked… Not much weve seen has really dispelled this.
So, I now have to come to terms with the fact thatDaredeviltakes place in the 21st century.
(sigh)
The Simple Costume is Kind of Great
See?
Theres red in the costume!
But seriously, the more we get to see this costume, the more its growing on me.
This is just cool.
There Will be Ninjas.
But this doesnt appear to just be any ninja.
Hes a red ninja.
Maybe theyre just one of the criminal organizations Wilson Fisk is trying to pull together?
Im going to watch Daredevil fight ninjas.
That being said, were still seeing the important, iconic stuff…
Including this surprisingly graphic/painful looking shot of a little boy with toxic waste in his eyes.
Our best look at young Matt Murdock.
Our first look at Matts Dad, Battlin Jack Murdock!
Thats a sweet robe.
Good to see he likes red.
But while were talking boxing, theres one fun bit of info that didnt come from the trailer.
Check out one of his opponents:
Of course, he doesnt come to a good end.
Our best look at Scott Glenn as Stick, Matt Murdocks not very nice mentor.
He couldnt possibly look any more like this character, could he?
I expect thats where well spend the majority of time with Matt and Stick, too.
Stuff We Dont Know What to Make Of
Who does this twitchy soon-to-be-corpse hand belong to?
Is it Jack Murdock, Matts Dad?
Is it one of Wilson Fisks unfortunate victims?
Is this Matt Murdock being dragged around by paramilitary goons?
Because if so, that kind of ups the stakes a little bit.
Is this Matt and Karen having their dinner disrupted?
Daredevilpremieres on April 10th.
Its really not that far away.
