“Marvel’s Daredevil” may be a comic-book adaptation, but when it debuts on Netflix in April viewers won’t be watching a light, sunny take on the blind fighter. The latest trailer teases an action-packed, noirish thriller.
British actor Charlie Cox plays blind attorney Matt Murdock and his alter ego—crime-fighter Daredevil. In the trailer, Murdock visits a priest to seek absolution for “what I’m about to do.” Cue the explosions, the acrobatics and the fighting.
The 13-episode first season premieres at 2:01 a.m. April 10 on Netflix. It’s executive produced by showrunner Steven S. DeKnight (“Spartacus”) and writer Drew Goddard (“Cabin in the Woods”), along with Marvel TV’s Jeph Loeb (“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”).
