Joe Quesada On Marvel's Netflix Series; Reveals That It Will Be Set In The MCU

Many fans assumed that Marvel's Netflix shows, consisting of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Defenders shows, will take place during the MCU, while others weren't quite sure. Joe Quesada recently confirmed on the Fat Man On Batman podcast that they will. “There will be some interconnectivity, much like the movies,” revealed Quesada. “They will exist within the cinematic universe again, so this is all the same world as S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers.” He also talked more about introducing street-level characters and elaborates on how unique the characters are and how they are different than the other characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Although these are superhero stories, this is different now. This is the street level…this is the street level noir side of the Marvel Universe. Something that you haven’t really, really seen in any of our Marvel movies,” said Quesada. “And probably more ground level, than I think you’ve seen. This is not like us doing Batman, Dark Knight or any of that stuff. This is very Marvel doing street level superheroes.” He also says that they are starting to finish off their scripts to get the series started soon, and talk about how emotional some of them are.  “The scripts are coming in. They are pretty fantastic. They’re really emotional. They’re very, very original. But at the same time, it is Daredevil. It is Matt Murdock. We will eventually, hopefully start casting really, really soon, but I’m very, very excited about it.” With filming expected to start soon, we will all look out for some set photos in the future which should reveal the costumes in the series. Quesada reveals that we should expect to see the Daredevil series take place in Hell's Kitchen, which should hopefully excite many fans. “We’re shooting in New York. That’s the fantastic thing about it is that we’re shooting at home. We’re shooting where these characters belong,” said Quesada. “These stories take place in Hell’s Kitchen.” He described the Daredevil set briefly, saying that it "smells of dark alley, vomit, and piss." Which Netlfix series are you looking forward to the most? Sound off below!

Casting could be really important if any of these characters make it to the big screen...they have major cash to spend, hope they don't take the cheap route...

I like what I'm hearing. Daredevil and Iron Fist are the comics I used to read as a kid because that's all I had cash for (50 cent pull box). Hope this kicks ass!

Man, I'm glad this series is keeping the tone of the older comics. Dark and brooding atmosphere is the way to go with Daredevil.

I wonder if all of the shows are origin stories? I think that would be the smart thing to do..

i was imagining the tone of daredevil to be somewhat akin to he current mark waid run where its light but has dark moments and themes like the MCU films but they seems to be going much darker which im not always a proponent of as along as it has serious moments in it but with DD it fits

charlie-yeah man, without these superhero films,i hardly get excited for any other films besides a few,for example this year,the non superhero films i am excited to see are Godzilla,dawn of the planet of the apes and interstellar (i need to rewatch the LOTR movies and the hobbit movies before seeing the last one,i watched the LOTR films when i was quite young),also before avengers 2 next year no movie interests me to see before avengers 2 so avengers 2 is gonna be my first film of 2015

All of these are MCU? Oh Hells yes, bitches!
Everything IS awesome! Make mine muthafvcking Marvel!

Seriously can't wait for DareDevil, now. A whole series for DareDevil?! There is justice in this world. And justice is muthafvckin' blind! Boom!

I wonder if Drew Goddard is directing as well as just writing. I mean Cabin in the Woods was seriously the real deal, y'know?

Alias/Jessica Jones should be good, too.

And Heroes for Hire? For real? Fvck me. Multiple nerdgasms.

Didn't we already know that this would be in the MCU? Question is when it takes place.

Uh, If I'm not mistaking, I believed it was confirmed already that these shows are also within the MCU? Anyway, I loved everything Joe Q said here!

I really think it would be cool if Michael C. hall actually auditions and GETS the role of DD, (I read that he was actually intrigued with playing the part) ONLY for the fact that he is getting up there in age...

I don't think all of these shows, especially Daredevil, should be origin stories... We already got the Affleck film, which is NOT the worst CBM out there...it would just feel like retreading territory that can easily just be alluded to... With casting an older actor, they can have the opportunity to just place him on SHIELD radar in the 80's/90's when he was young an in training. Maybe have DD as finally making his move in the modern MCU to take down the worst crime lords in the city..The biggest piece of supporting evidence to this type of thing is the Michael Douglas Ant-man. Marvel is starting to build a VERY cohesive universe with an established historical timeline of events/origins, global geography of characters, and not to mention an interstellar playground they're beginning to open up...

It's only just begun, y'all!

Well, The Incredible Hulk came out 5 years after the other Hulk so there's a reason they didn't retell his origin. It was still imprinted in peoples brain. With Daredevil it's a little different since people haven't seen his story in what's going to be 12 years! That's a while....So, I think they should retell it and make it more comic accurate. Like have Matt be trained by Stick and Wear the yellow suit at first. Both of which were absent in the 03' film...
