Details On DAREDEVIL's Ties To THE AVENGERS; Will Charlie Cox Appear In CIVIL WAR?

There's been a lot of talk about when Daredevil will be set, but we now have a much clearer idea about which movie the Netflix drama will take place after! There are also new details on how it connects to the MCU, while Charlie Cox weighs in on whether ol' Horn Head will join The Avengers...

When and where in the Marvel Cinematic Universe does Daredevil take place? We still don't have a specific date and time (before or after the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. in The Winter Soldier for example), but Marvel Television's Emma Fleischer did at least confirm in an interview with Empire Magazine that it follows the events of The Avengers. "We are still part of the Marvel Universe," she explianed, "but we are not explicitly in that Agenstts of S.H.I.E.L.D. world. We're in our own corner. So the aliens came down and ruined the ciy, and this is the story of Hell's Kitchen's rebuild." This is further confirmed by the publication when they mention seeing a framed newspaper in the office of the New York Bulletin showing Stark Tower "being zapped by a Chitauri laser beam". 

The fact that Daredevil is being released on Netflix before Avengers: Age of Ultron hits the big screen probably means the first season won't deal with any sort of fallout from that, but it could of course crop up in a second season. Does showrunner Steven S. DeKnight think another run of episodes will happen? "We certainly hope so! I mean, it's totally up to Netflix. But I think it's a phenomenal season and we certainly end in up a place where we could tell many other stories." Star Charlie Cox meanwhile wasn't willing to say too much about how The Man Without Fear connects to the rest of the heroes he shares a universe with, but did say that fans should be on the lookout for "a couple of very casual Easter egg reference to other superheroes." When the magazine put it to him that a Captain America: Civil War appearance would work for Daredevil, he apparently said he wouldn't turn down the invitation, but cautioned that "in this show, Daredevil feels special, like a big thing, not an everyday occurence. It's not like he's one of that lot..."

I'd love to see Dare Devil in Civil War. Not at all worried about Civil War getting too crammed with too many characters. The Russos can handle it

Again, where did all of the alien invasion in NYC take place. Didn't Cap send a perimeter of 2 blocks with the police or something? Which parts of the city got hit?

Just have a montage of government agents being sent after Superheroes who won't register. That way we can have a brief badass cameo of Daredevil fighting gmen that adds to the story but doesn't weigh down the movie.

I reckon people'll react to DD in a sort of, "He's just like one of us!" kinda way in the show.

The battle was in Midtown. It's no stretch that a few aliens could've snuck past that perimeter and [frick]ed up Hell's Kitchen.

"Plus, Daredevil wasn't even a part of the Civil War in the comics."

It'd be really cool to see him in there with the other heroes.

For reference, Hell's Kitchen is in Midtown West. Same general area as the portal.

Oh [frick], I forgot about that. It was before Clint was brought back as Ronin. My bad, lol.

It's difficult to draw the line for some characters like Daredevil and Hank Pym. Were they in it or not? The context gets lost and the characters play their roles whether or not there is someone else lurking under the mask. I was reading Kree/Skrull war not too long ago and enjoying it and then they cut to Thor and he's thinking to himself, 'in reality I'm not even Thor I'm some other guy, hope nobody notices', and it bummed me out. I think Civil War tried to get around those issues by having the characters be who they presented themselves as.

DeKnight has already confirmed that Daredevil takes place in present time (like most of Marvel stuff).
After Cap 2 and before AoU

All the defenders would have added to civil war. Sadly one movie is not enough to tell that large of a story.

In Civil War I can see Spiderman asking some advices to Matt about to reveal his identity. But that's if Peter already knew Matt (and since he will be introduced in this movie that's highly impossible) and if the Russos are making a Civil war like in the comics even if Marvel have Spiderman now. Yeah that's a lot of "if"
