Mortal Kombat Legacy's Peter Shinkoda Joins Netflix's DAREDEVIL

You may know him as Dai from the hit sci-fi series, Falling Skies or as Sektor from the season one finale of director Kevin Tancharoen’s hit webseries, Mortal Kombat Legacy, but as of this week you can now add the name, “Hachiro” to actor Peter Shinkoda‘s current list of credits. Deadline reports the character will be recurring following the current production of Daredevil, one of four 13-episode productions for Netflix which is set to air next year.

Blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, Matt Murdock fights against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the super hero Daredevil in modern day Hell’s Kitchen, New York City.

The announcement also comes hours after Marvel’s own Kevin Feige gave a statement in London after screening footage for the August 1 release of Guardians Of The Galaxy regarding the containment of the Daredevil universe and the question of whether ot not crossovers were possible. “They’re being very, very smart about that.” he says. “And approaching those shows the way we approach movies, which is focus on what you’re working on first. And make it as great as you can be at beginning, middle and end. And then look at if they’re places it makes sense for some interweaving of continuity. But right now their goal, and they’re in production on the Daredevil series, is to make the best incarnation of Daredevil that has ever existed.”

The series is being Steven S. DeKnight and joins Shinkoda with lead actor Charlie Cox in the title role, along with Vincent D’Onofrio, Elden Henson and Rosario Dawson. Stay tuned for more info.
