What Marvel Studios should do with Daredevil

 

Now as you know or don't Horn Head aka Daredevil rights are back at Marvel Studios. So with Daredevil now back officially back at the MCU what should Marvel do with this character?

Now like many I loved the Netflix Daredevil show it was so good and one of the best Marvel tv shows we ever got. Many fans like my cousin who is a die hard fan of Daredevil wants this show back even if it has to be on Disney Plus and sadly Disney Plus won't have any R rated material anytime soon. Still if they brought it back and looked at Mandalorian or other hard PG 13 for inspiration or adapted Mark Waid's run on the character it could work. My cousin and many others don't want a reboot of the character they rather continue where the series left off even if it means you have to tone it down a bit for Disney Plus. 

Here are list of ideas on what they could do with Daredevil in MCU.

8. Bring back the show and continue were it left off. Don't Reboot. 

Marvel is making a big mistake if they reboot Daredevil because the show was so good. Like if they reboot the tv series it sadly lacks all the gritty, dark, violence, and what made the show great. They would make it more PG 13 level but hey you know The Dark Knight film was a hard PG 13 and the Mandorlain is a great show so I think Daredevil could work in that style. Marvel should not reboot this series as a new series or make a movie instead just bring back the Netflix series as a Disney Plus show. 

7. Bring back Charlie Cox and the rest of the cast. 

Marvel needs to bring back the original cast of the show because all of them did a great job. Charlie Cox is Daredevil and he wants to return as Daredevil. The same goes for everyone else and season 3 did end on a cliffhanger and we want more! 

6. Kingpin could be one of the MCU's biggest villains 

Kingpin is one of Marvel's biggest villains and he could be a major villain in the MCU. In fact we could see Kingpin fight Spiderman because he is also an enemy of Spiderman before Frank Miller had him more as a Daredevil villain. Vincent really wants to come back he's been fighting to get this show back on the air and I think he should be a major villain in the MCU for Daredevil, Spiderman, and possibly the Avengers but unlikely. Kingpin's role could be were season three left off but Bullseye is back and he's trying to kill him and his wife which means Daredevil now must protect Kingpin and of course Karen and Foggy too. Also they could make Kingpin the Mayor of New York City like in the comics. 

They both hate each other with a passion but they did make that deal in the end of season three.

5. Make Bullseye the main villain of the show. 

Bullseye was in the third season and he was one of the best parts of the season three. I think they should expand more on this character in a future season and have him actually put on the bullseye costume. I really liked how he dressed up as Daredevil on the show like he made Daredevil look so bad he became the Man Without Mercy instead of Man Without Fear. 

Wilson Bethel did a great job playing Bullseye. Season three did end with him getting his back fixed and you see his eyes are now bullseyes. In season four if it happens have him as the main villain like he wants revenge on Daredevil and Fisk. It would mean Daredevil would actually have to protect Fisk from Bullseye. 

There is also the idea the Bullseye could kill Karen Page and it would be sad but it would just shock people. As well they could expand more Bullseye maybe he could be a Thunderbolt or a Dark Avenger.

4. Possibly have Daredevil team up with more Street level heroes and maybe make him a part time Avenger. 

Now Daredevil's always been a loner it's not really a team player even though he has team up with Spiderman, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Wolverine, Jessica Jones, and many more characters. He was offered to join the Avengers at one point in the comics but he turn it down and turn it down a second time in New Avengers, until he finally accepted the third time. I found it really interesting making him an Avenger because it's something he wouldn't be keen on but if his friends really wanted his help because they talk about how he would make a fine Avenger because of what a good guy he is. So that's an idea like we could see him an Avengers film but he might just help them or agrees to join part time or they make an Avengers tv mini series that focus on street level heroes. Like it could be base on the New Avengers comic with Spiderman, Luke Cage, Wolverine, Spiderwoman, Iron Fist, Daredevil, Misty Knight, and Echo.

It is likely we will see him team up with other heroes but more street level heroes rather than Avenger type heroes likely Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Punisher, and Jessica Jones, but I think they might recast those characters but hopefully not Mike Colter and Jon Bethnal because those two were awesome as Luke Cage and Punisher. I would love to see Daredevil meet Moon Knight that would be cool team up but most of all I would love to see him interact with Spiderman. 

3. Give us that Spiderman/Daredevil team up movie 

This an idea that many fans have wanted to see for years a team up Spiderman and Daredevil film. Like Spiderman and Daredevil are best friends in the comics and they have brotherly bond with each other. They both have gone through some horrible things loosing people close to them at the point of giving up but they keep on going. What Marvel needs to do is have these two characters meet and team up or better yet Matt Murdock becomes Peter Parker's Lawyer in the next Spiderman film. This is something I really want to see happen is a Spiderman and Daredevil teaming up on the big screen or maybe on TV. Charlie Cox has express that he really wants to do a team up with Tom Holland and they should do it. 

2. If it can't be bloody and gritty look at The Mandalorian and other hardcore PG 13 shows for a good idea. 

Now one thing we loved about Netflix's Daredevil was it was dark, gritty, extremely violent, and bloody. Now it's likely Disney Plus will cut down on that but they could still make it dark and epic. Like I would say the best example of that is the Dark Knight Trilogy and The Mandalorian combining the two could give us a good Daredevil show.  I mean it should still be the same show but they will likely tone it down but they can still make mature and dark just too mature. 

Honourable Mentions 

A team up Street level Heroes movie or mini series but make better than Defenders. Let's see Daredevil reunite with Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Misty Knight, Punisher and interduce new heroes to Matt Murdock's life like Spiderman, Moon Knight, and Echo. 

Karen Page's death. I think if they bring back the show they should kill off Karen because her death had such a huge impact on Matt and he was at the point of committing suicide but Spiderman stopped him and told him that he understood his pain not able to saving the person he loved.   

Bring Back Elektra at some point. 

Make Foggy more likeable and maybe adapt the cancer story arc from the comics. In the comics Foggy learns that he has cancer but don't worry he lives in the end he manages to beat it thanks Hank Pym's help. Many fans complain that Foggy was annoying but I didn't think he was that bad he got better in later seasons. As well if Karen dies both Matt and Foggy become wrecks and they both have their own way of grieving until the two decide that they are the only family they have left. 

Have Matt reveal his identity to the world. 

Maybe Matt gets a new love interest but not for awhile not until sometime has passed after Karen. 

1. Netflix adapted most of Frank Miller's run, Disney Plus should adapt Mark Waid's run.

Now my cousin did tell me once that this would be the best option for Marvel for they could adapt Mark Waid's run on Daredevil seeing how Netflix's did Frank Miller's run. Mark Waid's Daredevil was well loved by fans but the only difference was this was more light hearted and had a bit of upbeat to it. Many fans still enjoyed Mark's run on Daredevil, despite Daredevil being positive and smiling and it had humour that work and fit well with the character. If you're going to have humour on the show make sure it fits with the character and the style of the show. I think Mark Waid's Daredevil is the best idea for Disney Plus to adapt Daredevil but I hope they just bring back the show and change the tone but still make it dark, mature, great fights, and have very intense moments. I also hope they won't ruin with any force agendas. 

So these are my ideas on what Marvel should do with Daredevil now that they have the rights back. I really hope they just bring back the show instead of rebooting it because that show was one of Netflix's best shows ever. Bring back this show and if you have to tone it down fine but look at Mark Waid's run on Daredevil for an inspiration for this series.
