We said, ‘We’re gonna do that show one day, and we’re gonna do it right.’

“There are no heroes and villains, there are just people making different choices.”

Daredevil will be the first of five Marvel series on Netflix along with Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders. It premieres in the US in 2015.
