While Daredevil has been a critical and commercial smash on Netflix, series creator Drew Goddard initially had a different plan for the character, explaining to IGN that he had pitched Marvel with an idea for a new Daredevil movie…
“I went into Marvel,” begins Goddard, “and talked to them about making Daredevil as a movie a couple of years ago, long after the Affleck movie. But what we all sort of realised is that, this movie doesn’t want to cost $200 million. The thing about Matt Murdock is, he’s not saving the world. He’s just keeping his corner clean. So it would feel wrong to have spaceships crashing in the middle of the city. But because of that, Marvel on the movie side is not in the business of making $25 million movies. They’re going big, as they should.”
