Guess Who's Coming To Hell's Kitchen In DAREDEVIL Season 2?!
The second season of Netflix’s popular and successful Marvel property, Daredevil is already underway with huge promise. Charlie Cox is back in the title role and donning the red uniform with the intent on delivering his own brand of unmitigated justice to New York City’s criminal dark underbelly, and it won’t be long before our blind Hell’s Kitchen lawyer-by-day finds himself going toe-to-toe with actor Jon Berenthal in the series debut of Frank Castle – a.k.a. The Punisher.
However, don’t rest on what you think you already know, because things are about to get a little more crowded in this corner of the Big Apple with the emergence of another new face of anti-heroic justice. Check out the new graphic below:
Like the hardware? Thought so. And yes, word has it at G.I. Joe: Retaliation co-star Elodie Yung will be displaying her screenfighting prowess in the role sai-wielding vigilante, female ninja Elektra, based on the Marvel character created by Frank Miller in 1981. Yung ultimately carries the torch from actress Jennifer Garner who brought the character to life in Mark Steven Johnson’s adaptation of Daredevil in 2003 starring next to Ben Affleck prior to the anti-heroine getting her own standalone movie a few years later with Bob Sapp, Terence Stamp and Will Yun Lee starring.
Daredevil premieres its second season on Netflix in 2016 following its announcement back in April. Stay tuned for more info!

Season Two Of Marvel's DAREDEVIL Is Coming To Netflix!
I admit, Marvel’s Daredevil is a show that I definitely have to catch up on, especially with A.K.A. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist on the way. This show’s getting a second season as per the latest announcent with Charlie Cox back to reprise his role as the title hero, no less. I might have an awesome weekend on my hands coming. Deets below!
Marvel and Netflix are proud to announce that “Marvel’s Daredevil” will receive a second season, available only on the streaming service in 2016!
With the first season of “Marvel’s Daredevil” proving a smash success with both audiences and critics, Netflix and Marvel will continue to create further adventures of the Man Without Fear! Doug Petrie (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “American Horror Story”) and Marco Ramirez (“Sons of Anarchy”), who worked closely with Executive Producers Steven S. DeKnight and Drew Goddard during the first season, will serve as showrunners for Season 2. Petrie, Ramirez, Goddard (“Cabin in the Woods”), and Jeph Loeb (“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) will serve as Executive Producers of Season 2.
“While previous commitments unfortunately prevent me from continuing on with Daredevil into its second season,” DeKnight explains, “I could not be happier that Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez are carrying the torch. They were invaluable collaborators during our first season, and I for one can’t wait to see what they do with the show moving forward.”
“Marvel’s Daredevil” is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.
“Marvel’s A.K.A. Jessica Jones” comes only to Netflix later this year and “Marvel’s Luke Cage” premieres on the streaming service in 2016. Future series exclusively debuting on Netflix include “Marvel’s Iron Fist” and “Marvel’s Defenders,” a mini-series event that reimagines a team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.
Blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) 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. “Marvel’s Daredevil” stars Charlie Cox, Rosario Dawson, Vincent D’Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Scott Glenn, Bob Gunton, Toby Leonard Moore, Vondie Curtis Hall, Ayelet Zurer.
Netflix’s DAREDEVIL Scores A Thrilling Second Trailer
Marvel’s Daredevil is getting ready to release on April 10 through Netflix, and we now have a second official trailer making the rounds ahead of its release. Just a few of the biggest highlights here are actor Vincent D’onofrio who gets in some screentime as the main villain, with actor Scott Glenn training a young Matt Murdock to become the self-sustaining vigilante the city needs.
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA Is In Live-Action Development For Netflix
I admit, I’m not too familiar with The Legend Of Zelda games seeing as how it was never really my cup of tea. Ultimately though, it became immensely popular over the last twenty-nine years since it emerged on Nintendo and as much as I heard of it, the question always dawned on me as to why it never hit the big screen.
Well, as the Wall Street Journal puts it, Nintendo is pretty protective of its property, although it appears they are currently working on a potential series for Netflix. The game itself is set in the land of Hyrule and focuses on a Hylian warrior named Link who sets out to save Princess Zelda from the evil desert-dwelling Gerudo thief, Ganondorf. The report also states that they’re structuring the potential series in a family-friendly fashion similar to HBO’s popular middle-Earth series, Game Of Thrones. Knowing Netflix’s caliber of programming as of late what with the success of Marco Polo as it gears up for a second season, in addition to the expectations set for their Marvel slate with Daredevil this April and A.K.A. Jessica Jones which just began filming, a series like Zelda could work, especially with the popularity of various other webseries based on games as of late.
It’s also pretty fitting now that another Super Mario Bros. movie is in the works at Sony while Genesis ramps up its workload of games to transfer to film and series development. So, if Nintendo gives in, this could always turn into something bigger, and I’m sure fans of Link and his adventures would be fine by all this.

Mike Colter Joins A.K.A. JESSICA JONES As LUKE CAGE
2014 has been a great year for Marvel and Netflix since ramping things up with a few announcements a little over a year ago for a slate of Marvel programs for four non-MCU characters. Since then, there’s been much progress with Charlie Cox as Daredevil whose costumed and civilian look can currently be viewed online in several promo pics prior to premiering in May in 2015, in addition to the casting of Krysten Ritter in A.K.A. Jessica Jones, the story of the titular former superheroine-turned-incognito crimefighter who assists other superheroes in their missions.
The latter news broke earlier this month as fans were awaiting just who would appear as fellow Marvel superhero Luke Cage, who had already been reported to possibly appear in several episodes. Cage, who first appeared on Marvel’s pages during his “Power Man” and “Heroes For Hire” heyday in the seventies, has long been a topical fanboy favorite among many who wondered and pined for a Marvel feature film. Sure, there have been some short-lived efforts made in the and some stops and starts, and even folks like Terry Crews, Quentin “Rampage” Jackson, and even Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson were among those as potentials and hopefuls.
Nevertheless, Marvel already had two choices in mind by the time A.K.A. Jessica Jones had cast its lead, and now the studio is proudly announcing its pick for Luke Cage in the form of Halo: Nightfall star Mike Colter. Details follow below while the series will likely premiere in late 2015.
via The Wrap
Marvel and Netflix are proud to announce that Mike Colter will star as Luke Cage in “Marvel’s A.K.A. Jessica Jones,” an all-new 13-episode series premiering on Netflix in 2015 following “Marvel’s Daredevil.”
During the course of an investigation in New York City, private investigator Jessica Jones encounters the enigmatic Luke Cage – a man whose past has secrets that will dramatically alter Jessica in ways she could never have imagined.
Colter will star opposite Krysten Ritter, who plays the title role in “Marvel’s A.K.A. Jessica Jones.”
“Mike embodies the strength, edge and depth of Luke Cage,” said Executive Producer/Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg. “We’re excited to have him bring this iconic Marvel character to life.”
“Fans have longed to see Luke Cage brought and in Mike we’ve found the perfect actor,” said Jeph Loeb, Executive Producer/Marvel’s Head of Television. “Viewers will get to meet Luke Cage in ‘Marvel’s A.K.A. Jessica Jones,’ and experience why he is such an important super hero in the Marvel mythos.”
Colter is currently starring in the PlayStation Network’s original series “Halo: Nightfall” as Jameson Locke. He has appeared in a number of critically-acclaimed television series, including “The Good Wife” and “American Horror Story: Coven.”
After a tragic ending to her short-lived super hero stint, Jessica Jones is rebuilding her personal life and career as a detective who gets pulled into cases involving people with extraordinary abilities in New York City.
“Marvel’s A.K.A. Jessica Jones” is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.

Channing Tatum's GAMBIT Movie Gets The Greenlight And A Screenwriter
The ever-expanding Marvel movie multiverse has been on a warpath this year with its amazing franchises already coming into fruition. The work currently being done with Tim Miller’s Deadpool and Marvel’s 2015 Netflix line-up, in addition to talks of a female spidey feature film, as well as the possible revival of semi-human vampire hunter, Blade, and L.L. Cool J’s most recent Tweet boasting a future Marvel role have pretty much overshadowed that of the recent announcement Warner Bros. made for its own superhero line-up a few weeks ago; They’re catching up, but in the eyes of comic book fans in both camps, apparently not fast enough.
That said, it remains to be seen what the future of the X-Men saga from 20th Century Fox will hold, although we already have a pretty gnarly idea about the possibilities in that regard. However, we have heard little on what will entail for actor Channing Tatum‘s part in an upcoming standalone push for fellow X-Men member and rogue mutant, Gambit, and the studio is keeping it that way. Fortunately for us, there are signs of life with official word from Deadline that the film has a new scribe in the form of Josh Zetumer. In addition, the report also brings word that the film has officially been greenlit for Tatum, currently on the way with sequel stripper dramedy Magic Mike XXL, attached to star.
Zetumer is prolifically known for providing the script for this year’s Robocop reboot from director José Padilha. I argued a balanced case in defense of that film which garnered its share of mixed reviews back in February as PG-13 reinterpretation that didn’t fully live up to the standards in the eyes of many who saw the R-rated first film. Considering we’re in PG-13 territory now, there’s probably less room for scruitiny to say the least, which if course isn’t to say there’s plenty of room to make a crappy film. Besides, Channing Tatum is a good actor and comes off as someone who really loves the character as he’s so expressed in many earlier reports online, so if he’s the one to be Gambit, it deserves justice with the right director and the right vision for the action and story to accommodate his cinematic re-emergence in superhero atmosphere since 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Tatum is also producing with Reid Carolin, Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg, the latter who wrote The Fantastic Four reboot for next year’s release and is also producing 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse. Stay tuned for more info.
