After a super-brief crowd-pleasing cameo on ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, fan-favorite superhero ‘Daredevil’ will be returning in a television series on the Disney+ platform.

While rumours have been raging about the possibility of a Disney+ series about the Man Without Fear being in the works, they have been particularly fuelled by the fact that two of the stars of the Netflix ‘Daredevil’ series, Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio, have appeared in recent Marvel projects.
Cox played Matt Murdock, the secret identity of Daredevil, in the film ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, while D’Onofrio reprised the role of Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin, in the Disney+ series ‘Hawkeye’.
Per a report on Variety, the project is picking up steam with the hiring of key production people, though Marvel has yet to officially announce anything.
Fans have been demanding for more Daredevil since the successful Netflix series was cancelled in 2018 after three seasons, but the deal with Netflix included a clause that prevented any characters from the Marvel-Netflix shows from appearing in any non-Netflix projects for two years after cancellation.
The move came as Disney looked to bring its Marvel heroes under one umbrella, with multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe shows having since debuted on Disney+. A trailer for the ‘She-Hulk’ series starring Tatiana Maslany dropped earlier this week.
More to come.
