She-Hulk: Lawyer Creator Jessica Gao discusses bringing Daredevil into the new Disney Plus series.
In 2015, Daredevil made his first Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance in the Netflix series of the same name. The first and third seasons are widely considered to be some of Marvel’s best TV shows. Unfortunately, the season was canceled after the third season along with the rest of Marvel Netflix and there was some questioning whether the cast would return or not. This question received a firm answer at the end of 2021.
In December 2021, Spider-Man: No Coming Home hit theaters and also marked the return of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the film, he was Peter Parker’s attorney who helped him track the events of Spider-Man: Far From Home. Later, it was confirmed that he would appear in Echo and She-Hulk: Lawyer before he got his own Disney Plus series.
In the old days, She-Hulk: Lawyer Creator Jessica Gao discussed the process of having Daredevil on the show. In one instance, she revealed that they had no creative control over the character. While speaking with Collider, Gao discussed Daredevil’s inclusion in the series and how the team didn’t think they would ever make it to the series at first:
“Daredevil was a special case. Most of the time what we do is pull the movies and the comics, and we pick a character that we want to use, and then we think of the best and most fun way for us to use them, and then we ask Marvel, if we can have them. But Daredevil was a dream we dared not dream. We were like, “Oh, there’s no way. It’s not even on the table. It never even crossed our minds. And then we got wind one day that not only was he on the table, but that Charlie Cox was coming back as Daredevil, so we immediately started thinking about ways to fit him into our show. If we only had one hell of a chance to get him on our show, it was still a chance, and we were going to take it.
Here is the synopsis of She-Hulk: Lawyer:
