Marvel and Netflix are proud to announce that acclaimed actor Scott Glenn has joined "Marvel's Daredevil," an all-new 13-episode series premiering on Netflix in 2015.
 
Best known for his work in blockbuster films such as "The Bourne Ultimatum," "Silence of The Lambs" and "The Hunt For Red October," Scott Glenn will play Stick, the mysterious martial artist and mentor of Matt Murdock (a.k.a. Daredevil).
 
Scott Glenn joins Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), with Rosario Dawson and Vincent D'Onofrio (Wilson Fisk) in the critically-lauded cast of "Marvel's Daredevil."

"Stick is one of the most important figures in Matt Murdock's life and Scott Glenn embodies all the qualities of someone so integral to this hero's journey," said Jeph Loeb, Marvel's Head of Television. "There are few actors who could bring such the authenticity, gravitas and charisma to such a key role in Matt's journey to become the super hero we call Daredevil."
 
"Marvel's Daredevil" 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.
 
Marvel's first original series on Netflix is Executive Produced by series Showrunner Steven S. DeKnight ("Spartacus," "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer," "Angel") and Drew Goddard ("Cabin in the Woods," "Lost," "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," in addition to writing the first two episodes of "Marvel's Daredevil"), along with Marvel TV's Jeph Loeb ("Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "Smallville," "Heroes").
 
"Marvel's Daredevil" is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.


For those of you unfamiliar with the character, Stick was the leader of the warrior order called The Chaste and he fought against The Hand for a number of years. The blind martial artist would later train both Daredevil and Elektra. Whether we'll see this character in flashbacks or in present day Hell's Kitchen remains to be seen, but this is an exciting addition to the already impressive cast. Frank Miller's classic run definitely seems to be the main inspiration for Netflix and Steven DeKnight's take on Daredevil, and this latest bit of news no doubts add weight to the theory that Rosario Dawson is playing Elektra. Be sure to sound off with your thoughts on this casting below!

To be honest, I never liked Stick. I've alaways prefered to think of Matt mastering his abilities without help, all on his own.


But I really like this casting, so I'm all for it.

What if Dawson is Bullseye and they're hiding it to avoid a Human Touch level backlash.

Although I hate most of the MCU movies... but Damn... this show looks promising as hell.

I wish it is never a part of MCU. This will be tainted with the likes of Ironman 3, Thor 2 and GOTG.

Ciph, you will be promoted to level 10 once you see GOTG. It's your own damn fault.
