“It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season,” DeKnight wrote on X/Twitter. “Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!”

    It’s going to be some kind of a soft reboot. It won’t be the same show. It’s not even going to have Karen and Foggy.

    I don’t know if it’ll be good, or not. I just know, it won’t be a 4th season of The Daredevil we know.

      Weird that they didn’t hire back the two best characters on the show, especially since Deborah Ann Woll has made it clear she’s still interested.

        If Deborah Ann Woll wants to be in their show and Deborah Ann Woll is not in their show, I fear a lot of bad decisions are going into the production of their show.

      That will be the sticking point. If this is a continuation of the Netflix series, resetting the contract terms will be messed up.

      If it’s not a continuation, it’s still kind of messed up that they’re going with the less generous contract terms. I also personally think that would be a bad decision just from a creative standpoint. People wanted more of the Netflix Daredevil, not Disney-fied Daredevil with some of the same actors.

        Get ready for CGI fest Daredevil. Remember him doing CGI backflips and shit in She-Hulk? Welcome to Disney’s Daredevil haha.

          Don’t you think this show will be a little more than a vague reference or a quick cameo? I think you’re making a really disingenuous argument here.

          And those cameos or shared-universe things should be negotiated anyway and probably are. It actually is also somewhat helpful for the show to share the universe with another popular show, otherwise they wouldn’t do that. But this isn’t that. This is them going “you liked Netflix’s Daredevil, so here, enjoy”. That’s their selling point. It’s not from the makers of Daredevil, it’s the same Daredevil.
