For all the current focus on the second Marvel/Netflix series to come down the pipe – Jessica Jones – there’s still more Daredevil to think about. The Man Without Fear will be back on our screens next year and Marvel is reminding the world with a new poster.
The image, which uses concept art from the show and harkens back to the comic book itself, was put online by Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada and will be handed out to attendees at the New York Comic-Com, which kicks off tomorrow and runs through the weekend.
Daredevil’s second season brings back Charlie Cox’s blind lawyer-turned-vigilante superhero Matt Murdock, Deborah Ann Woll as legal secretary Karen Page, Elden Henson as law partner Foggy Nelson, Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple and Vincent D’Onofrio as crime kingpin Wilson Fisk. We also know that Scott Glenn will be back as Matt’s grumpy mentor Stick.
New this year will be Elodie Yung as Elektra Natchios, a woman from Matt’s past who will re-enter his life (as is fitting for one of his main love interests in the comics) and Jon Bernthal, who will be tooling up as Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher. Season 2 doesn’t have a confirmed date yet, but if it follows the release pattern of last year, it should be with us in April next year.
