Another Superhero - This Time on Netflix

Now that Marco Polo is out the door, Netflix can prepare for the 13-episode series Daredevil.  Marvel Comics is testing out new venues for its character, and Ben Affleck has nothing to do with this version.  Instead, Charlies Cox will play the main character, blind lawyer by day, dark crime-fighter by night.

And be prepared for some violent scenes, as Entertainment Weekly noted:

 It’s a more grounded depiction of violence than we’re used to seeing in Marvel movies. But that seems to be the goal. Charlie Cox described Daredevil as “a character [who] suits a slightly older audience,” and Netflix affords the creative team the ability to go darker “without alienating anyone.”

After Daredevil, watch for other superheros to appear, including Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage.  Yes, Netflix is serious about taking Marvel to a whole new level, assuming we do not tire out of these heroes by then.
