She-Hulk: Attorney at Law creator Jessica Gao discusses putting Daredevil into the new Disney Plus series.
Way back in 2015, Daredevil made his first Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance in the Netflix series of the same name. The first season and third season are widely considered to be among Marvel’s best television. Sadly the season was canceled after the third season along with the rest of the Marvel Netflix and there was some question as to whether or not the actors would ever return. That question was firmly answered in late 2021.
In December of 2021, Spider-Man: No Way Home hit theaters and also marked the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s return of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil. In the film, he was Peter Parker’s lawyer who helped him following the events of Spider-Man: Far From Home. Later on, it was confirmed that he would be appearing in Echo and She-Hulk: Attorney At Law before he gets a new Disney Plus series of his own.
In the past, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law creator Jessica Gao has discussed the process of having Daredevil in the show. In one instance she revealed that they had no creative control over the character. While speaking with Collider, Gao discussed including Daredevil in the series and how the team didn’t think they would ever get him in the show at first:
“Daredevil was a special case. Most of the time, what we do is mine the movies and the comics, and we pick a character we wanna use, then we think of what the best and funniest way is for us to use them, and then we ask Marvel, if we can have them. But Daredevil was a dream that we dared not dream. We were like, “Oh, there’s no way. That’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 Charlie Cox would be coming back as Daredevil, so we immediately started thinking of ways to incorporate him into our show. If we only had a snowball’s chance in hell of getting him on our show, it was still a chance, and we were gonna take it.”
Here is the synopsis for She-Hulk: Attorney At Law:
“She-Hulk: Attorney at Law follows Jennifer Walters as she navigates the complicated life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk.”
Marvel Studios’ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law stars Tatiana Maslany, Mark Ruffalo, Tim Roth, Benedict Wong, Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jameela Jamil, Jon Bass, and Renée Elise Goldsberry.
