Charlie Cox Shares Wishes for Season 2 of Marvel's Daredevil - Comic Book Movies and Superhero Movie News

Eleven days after “Marvel’s Daredevil” premiered on Netflix, the streaming service ordered a second season for The Man Without Fear to premiere in 2016. Speaking with Empire, star Charlie Cox admitted that he doesn’t know what they plan on doing but has some wishes for what characters he hopes to see:

“I have to be careful because we just got commissioned so I have no idea who is going to turn up,” Cox said. “Based on the show we’ve created, which is very grounded in reality, I’d like to see Punisher maybe show up, a little bit of Elektra maybe. I wouldn’t mind Black Widow making an appearance, and you can’t think about Daredevil for too long without thinking of Bullseye. I don’t know when or if or how that would happen, but it’d be cool if it did.”

Cox also opened up about what he thinks the shooting and release schedule will be for the series, which he imagines will coincide with another of the “Defenders” shows.

“We’ll begin shooting in the second half of the year. It’ll be the same timeline as the last show, so season two will come out about this time next year. Again, I’m imagining all this, but they’ll probably do Iron Fist or Luke Cage at the same time, followed by the other one [of the two] in the first half of 2016 and then maybe Defenders in the second half of 2016 or the beginning of 2017….What’s exciting is to have a season where [Matt Murdock] is really embodying his alter-ego before we get to the Defenders.”

Showrunner Steven DeKnight has stepped down for the second season with writers Doug Petrie (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “American Horror Story”) and Marco Ramirez (“Sons of Anarchy”) both set to replace him as co-showrunners. Drew Goddard, Petrie and Ramirez will serve as executive producers for season two alongside Jeph Loeb.

“Marvel’s Daredevil” stars Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), Rosario Dawson (Claire Temple), Bob Gunton (Leland Owlsely aka The Owl), Vondie Curtis Hall (Ben Urich), Toby Leonard Moore (Wesley, Wilson Fisk’s right hand man), Ayelet Zurer (Vanessa Fisk), and Vincent D’Onofrio (Wilson Fisk). The series follows the journey of Matt Murdock, who was blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, now fighting against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the super hero Daredevil in modern day Hell’s Kitchen, New York City.
