Former DAREDEVIL Showrunner Comments On The Man Without Fear's Return In The Latest Episode Of SHE-HULK

The former showrunner of Netflix's Daredevil series, Steven DeKnight, says that he's all for the lighter take on Matt Murdock in the newest episode of She-Hulk.

Netflix's Daredevil starred Charlie Cox in the titular role and consisted of three seasons which ran from 2015 to 2018 before the series' untimely cancellation. Since then, fans have clamoured for Cox's take on Matt Murdock to return to the silver screen, and at last, he has.

The incumbent Disney+ series, She-Hulk, has teased the arrival of Daredevil for many weeks now, and today it delivered. However, some fans have argued that he isn't quite as they remember him from the Netflix series.

It seems the Man Without Fear is much more nimble and cheerful in She-Hulk, at least compared to how he was portrayed in Netflix's Daredevil which had a much darker and more grounded tone in comparison to the action-comedy series.

The former executive producer and series showrunner of Netflix's Daredevil, Steven DeKnight, has taken to social media to reveal that he too has noticed the revamp, and he's all for it.

DeKnight explains that it's but one of many ways to portray the Marvel Comics hero, just like his grittier interpretation. What's more, DeKnight says that as long as it's Cox in the role, he'll be invested.

Check out his tweet on the matter for yourself below (via @StevenDeKnight):

Even the original showrunner loves it. Pretty sure the vocal minority upset that it wasn't a gorey battle can kick rocks. Just upset over anything Marvel.

I can't get over how we saw Daredevil (Charlie Cox) fight a Hulk. That's just awesome.

I really loved the episode and Daredevil in it. I hope this series gets a 2nd season and Leap-Frog comes back. I think "She Hulk" is a great vehicle to explore those B/C-List characters and street level heroes.

@cocaegelo - Leap Frog would make a great Fisk hired villain. I could see Daredevil beating him again and this time Leap Frog gets his assets frozen and everything taken from him leading him down a darker more vengeful path. Would love to see Fisk fund those poison tree frog darts for him.

@MyCoolYoung - No different from the Snyder fans. They felt empowered to bash WB and even make spam accounts to push their narrative. Same thing is happening with any Disney+ show. It's always the same users and their same sock accounts trolling on social media sites. It's sick and ghetto.

He isn't in Hell's Kitchen, so its a different tone. But nothing that we saw indicates this "version" of the character is any different from the Netflix shows.

@HeavyMetal4Life - Exactly. He had a great sense of humor in the series.

@HeavyMetal4Life - Not to mention that he liked Jennifer. He was flirting with her and joking with her. This is the first time we have seen Daredevil interact with another hero he was into. Even he and Frank shared a joke or two in Season 2. Frank Castle of all people had some fun in his show. People need to get over themselves. I honestly believe this whole Anti-fun stance is a form of insecurity. People feel their masculinity or maturity will come into question if they get caught watching these types of shows. Despite nobody ever knowing unless they are vocal about it.

@SonOfAGif - He was into Elektra. Never mind. She wasn’t tea into heroics. 🤣

@RolandD - Elektra wasn't a hero though. She was definitely an antagonist and didn't care for his methods. She definitely found joy in murdering people. And we aren't talking about Comic Elektra. This is strictly based on the Netflix Elektra.
