What will be your reaction if Daredevil changed into a movie franchise?

[chiefchirpa]

... instead of a TV series.

I will go bonkers. t:

Daredevil needs a movie franchise, not a TV series. If Marvel Studios is too busy doing the 2 movies/year scheme, turn it to Touchstone Studios for a winter release and add more blood & violence. Add the Punisher and Moon Knight for the other years.

Daredevil - Winter 2016
Punisher - Winter 2017
Moon Knight - Winter 2018
Daredevil 2 - Winter 2019

They need to explain where Matt was during the Chitauri invasion.

Blade, Ghost Rider and Punisher need to be explained too, if they get films at Marvel Studios.

But I guess it will be a similar answer as to why Ant-Man didn't show up in phase 1

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Delight.

Or better yet sell it to Sony where he'd fit in better.

The same cinematic universe as Spider-Man?
THAT would be interesting

 

[Invader34]

I think it'd be cool to have some short scenes in all four netflix series showing the heroes having moments similar to Caps scene in the bank in Avengers. Show them all taking down a few Chitauri warriors in their respective neighborhoods.

 

[metaphysician]

Eh, unless their neighborhood is the part of the city the Avengers kept the invasion in, they really don't need it. Some scenes that put down how they reacted to the fact of alien invasion, sure.

12-16 hours of Daredevil a year versus ~2 hours of Daredevil every 3 years, if we're lucky....?

Yeah, give me my DDTV, please.

 

[Hypestyle]

keep it a TV series for at least 4-5 seasons, then do a movie version. No origin, just the main mystery story.

 

[The Overlord]

Most people say TV is better then movies nowadays anyway, plus DD doesn't require as many special effects as other heroes do anyway. I hope with show being on Netflix, it will be a better effort then the super hero shows that air on network TV.

 

[fixxxer]

Marvel Studios is currently in the "tent-pole" business. You don't need a $200 million FX extravaganza to showcase Daredevil's character, abilities and mythos in a way that you do for characters like Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Cap, GOTG, Dr. Strange, Black Panther, etc.

Just look at the absolutely astounding quality of cable TV dramas of the recent past/present. To call TV the "lesser" medium is somewhere between inaccurate and 100% wrong at the moment. Daredevil (and his Netflix brethren) just seem to fit the medium like a glove. This, of course, assumes the writing and production team is top notch, which looks to be the case, based on the little information that has been released thus far.

After a successful run of (say) four or five seasons, maybe Daredevil can be explored further in movies as and when they have a story that lends itself to the big screen treatment. I'm pretty sure that the actors that are being hired for these shows will have movie options in their contracts. But for now, I think Marvel's plan is absolutely on point.

 

[Silvermoth]

I would be very annoyed. Why settle for just two hours of daredevil when you can have several hours?

 

[Green Goblin]

Daredevil on TV is better. He doesn't need a big budget and the series could be Law & Order mixed with superheros.

Also with Agents Of Shield getting a lukeworm reception it might be good for a new TV series produced by Marvel.

Off late, that song's tune has changed for the most part.

 

[cherokeesam]

to what everybody above said.

Daredevil on "cable" TV (Netflix, technically) is a no-brainer. An uncensored hour-long show with many, many episodes about a gritty, street level hero just makes a whole lot more sense than trying to tentpole a big-budget fx orgy every 2-3 years. Not hating on Affleck's DD (which I still actually like, at least the director's cut), but this is a franchise that's better served on TV than cinema.

 

[Zarex]

I love DD, and with half a century of quality comic books under his belt he's a definite "A" lister. But in a film setting he's an awful lot like Batman - only minus the Joker (well, he does have the Jester), the vast personal wealth, the mansion, the bat cave, the batmobile and all the rest of the wonderful toys. As well as history of success in film, tv, merchandising, animation and every other aspect of pop culture.

A TV show featuring a lawyer by day and street level vigilante by night appears to be the perfect vehicle to separate DD from the Distinguished Competition. It is also a very sharp manuever for Marvel to extend the tendrils of the Mighty MCU into another media.

Daredevil can easily be done on TV why waste a movie slot on something that doesn't need a movie's budget.

Its the opposite for me.

About the topic, Isn't Daredevil supposed to be a 10 to 13-episodes mini series? Then Daredevil will head to the Defenders? or are they gonna try to make this a series with more than 1 season?

Thanks for correcting me. Havn't really checked that section.

Yea. I think the plan is to release Defenders after one season.

 

[TheVileOne]

Honestly, I think Daredevil will work much better as a TV show. I don't think he should swing around like Spider-Man in the 2003 movie.

And him being a lawyer makes the show a much better fit for TV and something that can be a tad more procedural drama esque.

Plus a lot of the Daredevil villains aren't as complex to visualize onscreen and require a huge movie budget. I think this will work better in the long run.

 

[Dr. Evil]

A lot of the Daredevil villains are humans (like Black Widow or Clint Barton) or humans with enhanced abilities but no actual super powers outside of hand-to-hand and marksmanship (Steve Rogers). It fits better on TV than movies.
