Matt Murdock is back and better than ever. Variety reports that the Man Without Fear is making his way to Disney+ as part of a new Daredevil series, with Matt Corman and Chris Ord set to write and executive produce. No formal announcement about a cast has been released, though fans can anticipate Charlie Cox, who played Murdock for three seasons in the Netflix-turned-Disney+ series of the same name, to return, as he recently appeared in a cameo role in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The news from Variety confirms longtime rumors that have been floating since Cox’s appearance in No Way Home, though few details are available on the existence of this news series, especially without an official announcement from Disney or Marvel. (Reps from Marvel Studios declined to comment for the Variety story.) Corman and Ord previously collaborated on the USA Network series Cover Affairs starring Piper Perabo and Christopher Gorham, the tone of which seems fitting for one third of Marvel’s Team Red.
The move seems a long time coming on Disney’s part, considering that both Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio, who played the villainous Kingpin, Wilson Fisk, both reprised their roles within the larger Marvel universe this past Christmas, with D’Onofrio appearing in Hawkeye. It was long debated whether the pre-Disney+ shows were considered part of MCU canon, but now it seems that we have a definitive answer to that question, though whether this new series will pick up where season three of the original Daredevil left off has yet to be seen.
