DAREDEVIL Showrunner Talks Rating, Elektra, Punisher, THE DEFENDERS And More
While he's still being careful not to give too much away, Daredevil showrunner Steven DeKnight offers some insight into the Netflix series from Marvel. As well as endorsing a certain Arrow actress as Elektra, he also talks about the show's "PG-16" rating and much more...
Daredevil showrunner Steven DeKnight has been back on Twitter today answering fan questions, and while he's still not being too specific with his answers, there are a lot of interesting details here. As well as confirming that Matt Murdock's Catholicism will play a role in the Netflix series, he also weighs in on which other characters he would like to bring to the small screen and even agrees with one fan's pick for Elektra (and it's a name which will be very familiar to Arrow fans). There's more talk of Daredevil being a "gritty" series, though the mention of a "PG-16" rating should come as welcome news to a lot of fans. It's also seemingly clear that The Defenders must be in the very early stages of development and likely a good few years away. Thoughts?
