Daredevil will have more graphic content than Marvels other TV shows, and perhaps its movies as well, but will still feel relatively family friendly. DeKnights last project was the famously hard R-rated Spartacus on Starz, and Netflix doesnt have the content restrictions faced by Marvels Agents of SHIELD on ABC. Yet Daredevil wont take too much advantage of its unrestricted boundaries. When I came onto this there was no way I wanted to make this hard-R or NC-17, DeKnight said. I dont think the material warrants that. It is a little grittier and edgier than Marvel has gone before, but were not looking to push it to extreme graphic violence, gratuitous nudity or anything like that. The story does not require that and I think would suffer if you pushed it that far.
