‘Daredevil’ can now come to the MCU, but Marvel has to make it happen

[Jacob Siegal]

• Daredevil aired for three seasons on Netflix before being canceled on November 29th, 2018.
• As part of its deal with Netflix, Marvel couldn't put the characters in any other TV shows or movies for two years, but that two-year moratorium is now over.
• Fans are begging Marvel and Disney to bring the actors back to play these roles once again.

The partnership between Netflix and Marvel Television had its highs and lows, but the unquestionable zenith had to be Daredevil, which to this day has legions of fans desperate to see the cast reunite. Daredevil ran for three seasons on Netflix and frequently crossed over with other Marvel shows such as Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist, and introduced The Punisher. Matt Murdock (played by Charlie Cox) also showed up in The Defenders, which brought all of the TV heroes together to face a threat that none of them could have dealt with on their own.

Eventually, Marvel Studios decided to take over TV production, leaving the Netflix shows in a weird spot. Eventually, the shows were canceled, both because Marvel had other plans for its Disney+ shows, and because Netflix was going to retain the TV rights for the characters for two years after cancellation. Wondering why this matters? Well, Daredevil was canceled on November 29th, 2018, which means the characters are once again fair game.
