After several months of rumors, a newDaredevilseries is reported to be in development at Disney+.Varietyreports that the streamer will move forward with a newDaredevilshow with Matt Corman and Chris Ord attached to write and executive produce. The outlet notes that Marvel has not officially confirmed the series while reps for Corman and Ord declined to comment on the news.
No details about the newDaredevilseries were specified in the report, but it seems most likely that it would feature some of the same characters fans met in the originalDaredevilthat ran for three seasons at Netflix. The rights have since reverted back to Marvel and Disney, which have allowed for them to move forward with these characters. Perhaps the excitement that was clear from fans when Charlie Cox showed up inSpider-Man: No Way Homehelped convince the House of Mouse to finally get those gears to turn.
Corman and Ord are best known for co-creating the TV seriesCovert Affairs, which aired on USA Network from 2010-2014. Their other work includes the NBC series TheEnemy WithinandThe Bravealong with The CW showContainment.

Marvel’s Daredevil Characters Have Already Returned in the MCU
This news will be exciting to many Marvel fans, but it may not be all that shocking. Marvel and Disney have been teasing more to come from theDaredevilcharacters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since they officially crossed over. There were rumors that Charlie Cox would reprise the role forSpider-Man: No Way Home, and fans were ecstatic to see that proven true when he had a special cameo, interacting with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in a very memorable scene.
TheDaredevilcharacters have also ventured onto the small screen for Disney+. That notably includes Vincent D’Onofrio showing up in the seriesHawkeyewhere he was left with an ambiguous fate. Fans probably know better than to believe the character is really gone, and chances are he will be involved in the reportedDaredevilreboot for Disney+. D’Onofrio has been very open about his desire to do more with that acclaimed role.
“I hope he didn’t die," theactor told Deadline in December. “I’m with the fans, I want to keep playing this part. My hope is that we continue. I didn’t know thatDaredevilwas going to end when it did, I thought it was going to continue for a few more years. There was a lot to explore there, there were many facets of my character to explore.”
Discussing his character’s MCU return, D’Onofrio added, “The people I play are based on real emotions and real life, and I try to bring the events of their pasts in the now. Kingpin is like that inHawkeye. He has a lot more physical strength and can take physical abuse, but grounded in this emotional world. And he does everything through that emotional world: He’s like a child and a monster simultaneously. Everything that he does is based on events of his childhood.”
