Daredevil, ol’ Hornhead, the Man Without Fear himself, is coming to Netflix on April 10, 2015 and Marvel was there this morning to unveil the first trailer.
For those unaware, Daredevil is a blind superhero who received both his blindness and superpowers in a freak accident as a child. By day, he’s a lawyer by the name of Matt Murdock, by night he stalks the streets of Hell’s Kitchen, making them safer for those who live there. In this series, he’s being played by Charlie Cox. His nemesis in the comics and on the show is the Kingpin of Crime, Wilson Fisk, played (and briefly glimpsed in the trailer) by Vincent D’Onofrio.
The trailer looks like a very solid adaptation, taking the themes of Catholicism that have been pervasive in the comics for many years and putting them front in center while highlighting his double life. And though we don’t see him in his trademark red costume, we do see him in his early black ninja costume which gives me hope that we’ll see some ninja warriors or assassins as bad guys.
The series premieres in its entirety on Netflix on April 10.
