so how prominent of a businessman is Fisk? Would he be on Tony Stark's radar at all?

probably not right away, especially if fisk has to work his way up, but i'm sure eventually he'd be on his business radar

I assume he's joking, but someone asked Steven DeKnight who from the Marvel Universe he'd include in the show, if he could include anyone, and he answered "Wilbur Day." Who is, of course, Stilt-Man.

I think he meant in terms of budget and he'd never be able to afford it. Stilt-Man is a terrible villain and why spend so much money to create effects for a character who fans hate? There are better characters who are more worthy of screen time.

 

[gohei_]

Yeah forget about Stilt-man, I wanna see the Eel.

 

[Marvel Spider]

Really eager to see the next thing they release for this. Hopefully we get something else before year's end.

 

[Six]

Well, DeKnight said a couple days ago that he was prepping to direct the finale which means filming is close to being done. Hopefully they release something once it wraps officially.

 

[Dark Raven]

I hope the red costume does appear in the first season.

 

[Marvel Spider]

I think it will. I also think it would be really hard to keep it a surprise until air date unless they market the show with the black training suit, which is something I don't think they would do.

 

[Art Freak]

I finally got around to watching "Spartacus" on Starz Play. I've just finished the first season. Not sure why it took me this long as I've watched every other great series from the last twenty years as it aired but this one escaped me for whatever reason. I've always liked DeKnight going back to his work with Joss but boy has he evolved since then. He is bloody perfect for "Daredevil" and I do mean bloody. I was already super excited for this show but now I'm approaching a rabid state.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I hope the red costume does appear in the first season.

I do think he red costume will show up this season. I say that because, if it wasn't and Daredevil would only be wearing the black proto-suit, you'd imagine DeKnight would just ignore any questions about the red costume. Instead, when asked about it on Twitter, he's given cryptic "I can't say, wait and see" responses, which to me suggests that he's teasing SOMETHING.

Plus in the NYCC footage Matt said the costume was a work in progress, so I'd be surprised if he wasn't in the red suit 7/8 episodes into the season

He doesn't need to ignore any questions, he can just lie about it, so it doesn't really suggest anything. Although I do believe that the red suit will show up soon as well.

 

[kguillou]

I guarantee the red suit will appear by at least the end of episode 3. Episodes 1-3 will set up the origin and his test trials as a vigilante. Marvel knows what the fans want, there's not a chance the red suit won't be in this.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Yeah, I don't really doubt some incarnation of the red suit will be in the show. The only question mark for me is how comics accurate it'll be.

 

[TheVileOne]

How can you guarantee that?

I'm going to hold you to this, and if it doesn't happen then you owe my $50 million!

 

[Mike Murdock]

Yeah, I know. A guarantee's a guarantee, after all.

 

[Shakel92]

Yeah, I know. A guarantee's a guarantee, after all.

Especially on the Internet.

 

[Naked Shia]

Torpedo needs to be in it.

 

[Marvel Spider]

Picture from them filming something today:

Very nice. You can tell it's Charlie by the hair and you can see his cane on the ground.

 

[BatsDC]

DeKnight said there'll probably be a second season on twitter which is great to hear

 

[Yellow Cyclone]

if you don't want stilt man in the MCU then you're not a real fan

 

[Spiderdevil]

This is an unprecedented deal. This is the flagship show in Marvel's endeavour into tv, so I'm guessing they're going to treat it a little different than the standard Netflix series. They are going to need to start hyping this show up big time, because outside of sites like SHH and CBM, most people are unaware of the deal, or unaware of the scope of the whole thing.

You wouldn't believe how many times I've seen "Is this for a new movie?" or "is this going to be separate from the MCU?". They should really start marketing this thing earlier.

Well I do think it will be mostly separate and there won't be much crossing over
