When the chemical spill heightened Matt's remaining senses, he was given an edge in any fight that he wouldn't ordinarily have had - and the people of New York are going to need a man like Matt, a man without fear.Īfter the Chitauri incident leveled portions of Hell's Kitchen, New York City is intent on rebuilding. With the help of a mysterious man known as Stick (Scott Glenn), Matt also trained his body to execute brutal order if the law failed.

But the incident gave Matt the focus he needed to train his mind to become a lawyer. When he was blinded by a chemical spill as a child - few thought a little boy from Hell's Kitchen would amount to much of anything. After his boxer father Jack (John Patrick Hayden) was murdered by the mob, Matt dedicated his life to serving law and order. Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) believes in the law with every fiber of his being. With three new series and a fourth on the way, it's amazing to think that a character like Daredevil, one that got laughed out of theaters just thirteen years ago was the one to get another impressive franchise ball rolling for Marvel and their quest to bring every one of their heroes to life. While their segues into television on ABC have been rocky at best, their partnership with streaming service Netflix has been killing it.

That big risk certainly seems to have worked out well for Marvel. On the other hand, if it succeeds, then that is the foundation entire studios and careers are built on. What if it fails? That would mean hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars blown on a venture that didn't pan out. Extending a cinematic universe beyond the world already created by a franchise and its side characters is a risky business maneuver.
