The New Daredevil

You know how Netflix is on fiya? And how the streamer’s getting into the superhero game?

Now, do you know Charlie Cox?

Not really?

Well now you will.

The Brit – whom you may remember from Stardust or, more likely, from HBO’s Boardwalk Empire – has been cast as blind Hell’s Kitchen lawyer Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, in its upcoming series about the Marvel character.

Now, you will remember that Ben Affleck took on the role in that craptastic movie back in the early aughts. Given that Netflix has given Daredevil a 13-ep first-season order and put Whedonverse vet Steven S. DeKnight in charge I will bet that this will be like, exponentially better.
