Netflix Daredevil Update, Check Out All The Spoilers Plus Interviews With Showrunner Cast And Crew [PHOTO]

Netflix is currently planning a Daredevil tv show to be released in May of this coming year. After the movie was almost universally loathed by fans Netflix is taking pains to make sure the tv show is a hit. Here is everything currently going on with the show.

Entertainment Weekly released the following list of spoilers, "1. Daredevil will be a uniquely localized Marvel story. "Within the Marvel universe there are thousands of heroes of all shapes and sizes, but The Avengers are here to save the universe and Daredevil is here to save the neighborhood," Loeb said. "It's a very unique look at Hell's Kitchen in New York, where Matt Murdoch grew up and continues to defend it from people who would harm the people that live there."

2. Daredevil will feel like a crime story, not a superhero show. "We really wanted to take our cue from [films like] The French Connection, Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver, and make it very, very grounded, very gritty, very real," DeKnight said. "We always say we would rather lean toward The Wire than what's considered a classic superhero television show." Added Loeb: "There aren't going to be people flying through the sky. There are no magic hammers."

3. BUT Thor and Iron Man will still exist in the same world as Daredevil. "It does take place in the Marvel cinematic universe," Loeb said. "It's all connected. But that doesn't necessarily mean that we would look up in the sky and see [Iron Man]. It's just a different part of New York that we have not yet seen in the Marvel movies."

4. This Daredevil is not a "man without fear." "Someone who does not have fear - literally does not experience fear - is not that interesting," Cox agreed. Thankfully, he has a workaround: "The way I like to think about it is that he is a man with fear, but he on a daily basis decides to confront that fear and to overcome it. So the title of 'the man without fear' is almost a title that the public in his world gives him just because of what he does. But inside himself, he's very afraid at times. And he finds a way to confront those fears and punch through it."

5. Daredevil will have more graphic content than Marvel's other TV shows, and perhaps its movies as well, but will still feel relatively family friendly. "When I came onto this there was no way I wanted to make this hard-R or NC-17," DeKnight said. "I don't think the material warrants that. It is a little grittier and edgier than Marvel has gone before, but we're not looking to push it to extreme graphic violence, gratuitous nudity or anything like that. The story does not require that and I think would suffer if you pushed it that far."

6. Kingpin's story will be almost as important as Daredevil's (and almost as sympathetic). "This season is about both the rise of the hero and the rise of the villain," Loeb said. Detailed DeKnight: "Fisk has very many different aspects so it's not all, 'I want to conquer the city and make a lot of money.' In our story, we tell the story of how he met his wife Vanessa and how they fell in love - our antagonist actually has a love story. That's the love story you're following, the one you're invested in, and seeing how that affects him and changes him. I think Vincent just brings such depth to it, his performance is just astounding."

7. Contrary to previous online reports, Bullseye MIGHT be in the series (but not this season): "I wouldn't say there's no plans to include the character in the series," he said. "It's not not to say he wouldn't be in the series at some point. But I think if you try to jam in too many characters, it just becomes a mess. And [Bullseye's] story was told in the last iteration of Daredevil that anybody saw. My feeling was, 'Why repeat it?' And honestly, if you're looking for a juicy, multi-faceted crime drama, Wilson Fisk was the obvious choice to play the antagonist. "

Screencrush reports, "Says Jeph Loeb, "Within the Marvel universe there are thousands of heroes of all shapes and sizes, but The Avengers are here to save the universe and Daredevil is here to save the neighborhood. It's a very unique look at Hell's Kitchen in New York, where Matt Murdock grew up and continues to defend it from people who would harm the people that live there.

It does take place in the Marvel cinematic universe. It's all connected. But that doesn't necessarily mean that we would look up in the sky and see [Iron Man]. It's just a different part of New York that we have not yet seen in the Marvel movies."

"Fisk has very many different aspects so it's not all, 'I want to conquer the city and make a lot of money.' In our story, we tell the story of how he met his wife Vanessa and how they fell in love-our antagonist actually has a love story. That's the love story you're following, the one you're invested in, and seeing how that affects him and changes him. I think Vincent just brings such depth to it, his performance is just astounding."

Comicbook.com reports, "When fans took to DeKnight's Twitter page earlier today with burning Daredevil questions, he was quick to tease with plenty of cryptic answers.

A fan first asked DeKnight if Stan Lee, Daredevil's creator, would have a cameo in the Netflix series, DeKnight replied "I'm forbidden to reveal any details." A coy answer for certain, but he didn't say "no," did he? Indeed, it seems impossible to think that Lee, who has appeared in every Marvel Studios production to date, wouldn't have a cameo in Daredevil. 

Finally, someone asked DeKnight if Daredevil would have any cussing, cursing, or swearing-since, you know, this is Netflix show and all. DeKnight confirmed the question with a yes, but clarified that only one of those would appear. Fingers crossed for cussing.

"Yes. But only one of those. RT @nailbiter111: Because @Daredevil is on @netflix will characters get to cuss/curse/swear?"
