The Marvel Comics character Daredevil has appeared in various other media since his debut in Daredevil #1 (April 1964).

Various depictions

[edit]

A Daredevil live-action feature film]] starring Ben Affleck as the character and directed by Mark Steven Johnson was released in 2003. The film was poorly received by critics.

In 2015, a Daredevil television show, starring Charlie Cox as the protagonist and created by Drew Goddard premiered on Netflix and lasted for three seasons.[1]

Then-Disney CEO Bob Iger stated that if Marvel's Netflix TV shows such as Daredevil become popular, "It's quite possible that they could become feature films".[2] In December 2013, Marvel confirmed that Drew Goddard would be the executive producer and showrunner for the series, and would write and direct the first episode.[3] By May 2014, Goddard had departed as showrunner, being replaced by Steven S. DeKnight, while Goddard was to remain with the show as a consultant.[4] Later that month, Charlie Cox was cast in the starring titular role.[5] Filming began in July 2014.[6] The first season was released in April 2015,[7] the second season was released on March 18, 2016,[8][9] and the third and final season was released on October 19, 2018.[10] Cox also reprises the role in The Defenders, a crossover miniseries.[11]

In December 2021, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced that Cox will reprise his role in future MCU projects produced by the studio.[12][13][11][14] Cox reprises his role as Murdock in the film Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021),[15] wherein he successfully clears Peter Parker's name from Mysterio's death and subtly attempts to get Happy Hogan to hire him by both describing himself as and telling Hogan he will need "a really good lawyer" to defend him against allegations of stealing technology from Stark Industries. The film does not reference his superhero identity beyond a brief display of his enhanced senses when he catches a brick thrown through the Parkers' window.[15] According to Tom Holland, Murdock's appearance was written after filming began due to uncertainty about the rights to include the Marvel Netflix characters.[16]

On March 17, 2022, an issue of Production Weekly reported that Marvel Studios was developing a Daredevil reboot project, with Kevin Feige and Chris Gray attached as producers. Production is expected to begin either in late 2022 or 2023.[17] The following month, Cox was revealed to have also joined the cast of the Disney+ television series Echo (2024) alongside his Daredevil co-star Vincent D'Onofrio, who had recently reprised the role of Wilson Fisk / Kingpin in the series Hawkeye (2021).[18] Later in May, the Daredevil reboot was confirmed to be taking the form of a new series in development for Disney+, with Matt Corman and Chris Ord attached as the series' head writers and executive producers according to Variety. The series was also described by The Hollywood Reporter as a continuation of the events of the prior show as opposed to a full reboot.[19]

In July 2022, it was announced at San Diego Comic-Con that Charlie Cox would reprise his role voicing an alternate version of Daredevil in the animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (2024).[20] He was also confirmed to be reprising his role in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022),[21] as well as in his own series: a revival of the Netflix series entitled Daredevil: Born Again (2025).[22]

Live-action

[edit]
  • In 1975, Angela Bowie secured the TV rights to Daredevil and the Black Widow for a duration of one year and planned a TV series based on the two characters, with Bowie herself as the latter and Ben Carruthers as the former. She received help from photographer Terry O'Neill and Natasha Kornilkoff on wardrobes before shopping the project around to producers, but it never came to fruition.[23]
  • In 1983, ABC planned a Daredevil pilot. Academy Award-winning writer Stirling Silliphant completed the draft of the program, but it was not aired.[24]
  • Daredevil appears in The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, portrayed by Rex Smith. This version was inspired by a police officer to become a hero. Additionally, he wears a black ninja-like outfit, a variation of which would later appear in Frank Miller and John Romita Jr.'s 1993 Daredevil: The Man Without Fear miniseries and the Marvel Television series Daredevil.[25]

  • Daredevil appears in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, voiced by Edward Albert.[26] This version's blindness occurred after he accidentally witnessed his father Jack Murdock taking part in crime.
