Not happy with DeKnight not running the show anymore. That's concerning.

 

[Maximo]

Fuuuuuuccckkkkk yes, loved Daredevil I'm super keen.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Where is DeKnight going?

Marvel's The Punisher, which will be announced soonish!

 

[EloquentM]

Wait the guy responsible for Spartacus is who was doing daredevil. No wonder I enjoyed it.

 

[Dysun]

Excellent news

 

[Frog-fu]

Yep, that suit was full on cringe mode the moment it showed up.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Already have like 2 threads of this going. But good news.

 

[beyond_death]

DeKnight not being back is surprising. He seemed really excited about going into season 2 from interviews. Maybe this means season 2 is happening earlier than he thought and hes involved with another series.

 

[inky]

Yep, that suit was full on cringe mode the moment it showed up.

Thankfully it was only a few minutes. Black suit was really good I started hoping they'd just stick to that.

 

[SArcher]

If all the Marvel Netflix shows end up being hits then we might get four of these in one year down the line. Goddamn.

 

[Sheroking]

They expected people to be cool with waiting, I think. They were wrong.

They have contracts and things to work out before they can renew it. House of Cards is their biggest hit, and it took over a month for them to confirm they were coming back for a Season 4.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

 

[Arkhanor]

Fuck yeah!!

 

[mreddie]

Wonder when and how this will happen with Luke Cage and Iron Fist around then.

 

[BronsonLee]

New showrunner is almost assuredly because everybody got caught off guard by the demand for a quick turnaround for Season 2.

 

[Santiako]

I also hope that this second season means that we get to see this Daredevil in the Civil War movie, even if in a small ass role.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

DeKnight is part of Whedon's crew, right? Goddard is too - he bounced and there was a little ill-will there, but he didn't exactly handle his bailing on Daredevil all that well. Whedon's in the process of walking right now. I wonder if there's something to all of this, or if it's just coincidence, or just business as usual.

 

[Loxley]

Not surprising, the show was great.

 

[Father_Brain]

On the downside, this makes me question whether we'll get Defenders before 2018.

Depends on the show, too. OITNB got renewed for S4 before S3 was out.

Also oh my god so many Daredevil threads

 

[Bgamer90]

Pumped.

 

[sasliquid]

Clearly DeKnight is just too busy as he has to get a Born Again film out for 2017

Spoiler

pls

 

[ezekial45]

Wait, Knight and Goddard left?

Isn't Goddard going to be writing Spidey?

 

[Nyanmaruz]

HELL TO THE FCKIN YESS!!!

DeKnight is just busy. I think he'll happily work with Marvel again when he has time.

 

[Fuu]

Expected but: fuck yes!

 

[Maximus.]

Fuck yes! Daredevil was fucking sweet.

Edit: Oh shit the original showrunners won't be a part of the second season? Damn that sucks.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Oh god yes. Hopefully this will green-light other Marvel properties for Netflx. Punisher on Netflix HAS to happen

 

[Shaanyboi]

Hopefully DeKnight has just moved on to Iron Fist.

 

[RadioHammer500]

Do you guys think

Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Defenders will have the same quality as the Daredevil show

 

[jett]

This is really great news. I was afraid they weren't going to do this to comply with their multi-series plan shit.

Good , Best thing marvel has done.

Fixed for accuracy.

 

[hipsterpants]

yessssss

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Isn't Goddard going to be writing Spidey?

I'm pretty sure he's directing the new Spider-man movie. It was announced a few weeks ago.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Hopefully they start asap on it, and we can get it early 2016.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I remember a lot of people thinking we wouldn't see another season until like 2018 because of all the other shows. I'm thinking the timing of the renewals will be based on the popularity of each show. Plus Netflix is beyond super eager to expand their exclusive catalog, if they can get season 2 in before the team up show, they can, will, and did.

 

[Lashley]

YES!!! Deserves it.

Hurry up 2016!!

 

[Shaanyboi]

Isn't Goddard writing/directing Spider-Man? Don't think the Buffy alumni are all jumping ship just yet.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Noice! Can't wait.

 

[Sectorseven]

Who are Daredevil's other villains?

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Yeah, Goddard's on Spidey, but Sony already had dude on contract and had a screenplay from him they could rework. That said - Whedon's on good terms. Goddard appears to be on good terms still too. DeKnight might be as well. Just was an interesting detail that jumped out at me, (I don't know that it'd occurred to me before how many people Whedon brought in with him) but that could be influenced by my posting in a similar thread a couple times today.

And yeah, DeKnight on Iron Fist would be cool.

 

[TDLink]

This is 2016 so it will definitely be before Defenders, which is 2017 as far as we know. We might even get a third season before Defenders.

The question is will Luke Cage happen before Daredevil S2 or after. I'm thinking it won't be that far apart if they are trying to do both plus Iron Fist next year.

DeKnight already said he isn't back because he's committed to another show. An immediate season 2 of Daredevil was not what was planned, so the quick turnaround means changes are needed.
And portraying Whedon as though he is walking out on Marvel is pretty inaccurate. He was under contract to direct Avengers 2 and contribute overall from 2012-2015, and that contract is now ending. Pretty straightforward.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

So, I'm guessing then Fisk is going to

Spoiler

break out of jail

? Hopefully we get a new villain though for the 2nd season.

Spoiler

He doesn't really need to. Fisk could do everything from within.

Who are Daredevil's other villains?

Bullseye
The Hand

They could also position The Punisher against Daredevil if they decide to introduce him in these shows.

 

[BronsonLee]

Wait, Knight and Goddard left?

Goddard bounced after writing the first few else and setting up the series structure. He was gonna do Sinister Six

 

[Keyser Soze]

Wow, did not see this coming.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Do you guys think

Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Defenders will have the same quality as the Daredevil show

Probably.
I've liked most of the Netflix originals thus far. Except for Hemlock Grove.

I don't think that's going on.

 

[Xion385]

Goddard is still an EP. DeKnight couldn't make it back because of previous commitments.

 

[BronsonLee]

Wow, did not see this coming.

Murdock, is that you?!
