Even though people like to complain about the stereotypical nature of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the truth is, you'd be hard-pressed to find two more distinct superhero TV shows than 'Daredevil' and 'She-Hulk'. ". ." Easily one of Marvel's best Netflix series, "Daredevil" aired for three seasons from 2015, before being canceled along with the rest of its fellow superheroes. Season 3 was fantastic. and this writer was personally heartbroken when the show was put on hiatus leaving all those plot threads hanging in the balance Daredevil has long been one of my favorite heroes and I loved Charlie Cox for the role, so I was thrilled when he reprized the role in "She-Hulk" earlier this year.

I have to admit I wondered how it would work sonically, since the two series are so drastically different. While Netflix shows were intended to be part of the MCU, they were never really integrated into that universe and remain quite different from most other Marvel productions.

"There are things you do when you're playing a superhero. There are scenes you read, and you're like, 'The fans are going to love this. It's KO'. And then he There's stuff like the walk of shame, where you're like, 'I don't know. It could go either way. It could be something the fans really appreciate, and it could be something that seems to go against the nature of what they adore the character and tone of the piece.

"The good thing about something like 'She-Hulk' is that it's not the Daredevil show. It was my job as an actor to come on another person's show and to adopt the tone, while remaining true to the character that I could. In this world, Matt is in LA, and he lets his hair down a little. He's just having fun. He kills in the courtroom You know, he has an affair with a really beautiful and charismatic lawyer. And then they can make dinner...
