transemacabreCharlie Cox, a boyishly handsome British actor who's background is more Brideshead Revisted than Hell's Kitchen, is our new Matt Murdock in Marvel's upcoming Daredevil series for Netflix!
My next question is... who's going to be Elektra? Typhoid Mary?! Can we hope for a version of Typhoid Mary that is actually identifiable as the comics character? (the Typhoid Mary from the terrible Elektra movie is Typhoid Mary-in-name-only) Who's going to be the new Bullseye?
I'm curious as to whether they'll redo the Elektra saga, which was already adapted for the 2003 Daredevil movie. So far, superhero remakes have shied away from redoing storylines from earlier movies. But the Elektra saga is so iconic that I can hardly imagine Marvel skipping over it. Quesada said filming will start soon in Brooklyn and Long Island City, and as LIC is basically right now the road from me, I'm thinking of scouting out locations that look like they could pass for 1980s Hell's Kitchen and seeing if I can catch them filming.
I'm starting a prayer circle now that ScarJo puts in an appearance as Black Widow (Matt is her former boo-thang in the comics).

A visit by Widow would be awesome! They mentioned her so many times on AoS, she really should put in an appearance on at least one of the tv shows.
