Drew Goddard Confirms Involvement With Season 2 Of Marvel And Netflix's DAREDEVIL
Drew Goddard's decision to depart Daredevil and instead helm the now indefinitely delayed Sinister Six movie led to reports that Marvel weren't happy with the filmmaker, but it turns out he'll be involved with season two after all. Hit the jump for details on his role...
In hindsight, Drew Goddard made a big mistake deciding to helm Sinister Six for Sony. By doing so, he gave up the opportunity to direct The Martian and was forced to pass on being Daredevil's showrunner. However, despite parting ways with Marvel, it doesn't sound like there are any hard feeling as he'll actually be involved with season two. "I love Marvel, I still work with them," he told Collider recently. "I was in the writers room of Season 2 a couple weeks ago—it’s going. I think this sort of got portrayed as this sort of animosity, [but] it’s never been the case. They know I love their properties, they’ve been very nice to me, we just keep trying to find the right fit."
Whether or not they end up finding the right project for the filmmaker remains to be seen, especially as they seemingly didn't even approach him to helm their Spider-Man reboot despite rumours indicating that he would. So, just how involved with Daredevil will he really be? "My job is wonderful which is—I mean my friends are running it, Marco [Ramirez] and Doug [Petrie], and when I say, ‘What do you guys need?’ they say, ‘Come in, talk.’ That’s how it works, I’m still the executive producer. I show up and we talk about Matt Murdock and I say, ‘Do you need any more help?’ and they say, ‘No,’ and then I leave (laughs). I’m always there when they wanna talk about it, because this is what I do in my spare time anyway, sit around and talk about Daredevil. So if it counts as a job, I’m always ready to do it." It doesn't sound like a particularly major role then, but fans of Goddard will no glad be doubt that he's on call for his input if and when it's needed!
