Was Daredevil Originally Going To Be A...Movie?

Drew Goddard has been in a lot of interviews as of late, and naturally many ask him not only regarding the failed Sinister Six project, but also his involvement with Daredevil, as he is still working behind the scenes as an Executive Producer. This tie around we actually uncovered more information not only regarding Daredevil’s original pitch, but also Marvel Studios’ strong focus on bigger blockbuster films.[1]

“I went into Marvel and talked to them about making it as a movie a couple of years ago, long after the Affleck movie. But what we all sort of realized 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.”

It certainly is interesting to see that Marvel seems very focused on bigger blockbusters even if Ant-Man cost around $130 million. Still, he also adds that the decision to add the show on Netflix had its reasons. “It felt that we’d have more freedom to make it on the small screen and make it more adult. Look, if we took the Netflix and put it in theatres, it’s rated R. And they’re not doing R-rated movies. And we also got to really explore the character. I feel like Netflix was the best possible home for that, otherwise you’d end up with a watered down version.” Many will agree that the Netflix treatment was a perfect fit for the character.
