Daredevil Stuntman Thinks the MCU ‘Really Hurting’ the Character With “Cartoon” She-Hulk Appearance

After brief appearances in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk, and a potential role in Echo, Charlie Cox’s Daredevil is getting his own series in the MCU next year. Titled Daredevil: Born Again, the show will present a new story for the Man Without Fear after his successful run on Netflix.

However, after what was shown of the character in Tatiana Maslany-led She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, some fans are concerned about how different the new series will be from the one issued by the Red N platform, which was one of the most acclaimed productions. of the superhero genre on the small screen, by many even considered the best.

And, it seems, fans aren’t the only ones who have doubts about what Marvel Studios will do with the character. In an interview on the Ikuzo Unscripted podcast, former Daredevil stuntman Chris Brewster gave his thoughts on the way the studio is approaching the character and the differences with Netflix:

“I think that, now that the MCU has taken over the character, I think they are really, really hurting it. If you watch She-Hulk, they turned Daredevil into a cartoon. It’s all animated and it looks bad. You know, I love CG to enhance real movement, but if you don’t have any real movement, it just becomes a cartoon. It’s just CG, there’s no weight to it. And what always made the action on Daredevil so good is it was visceral. You felt what Charlie was feeling, between his performance and being in there, in the action. And anything that you saw, we really did. We had to put somebody on a wire, we needed something to enhance the movement. But it wasn’t a cartoon. It was live-action. And you will never match the energy that live-action has. So, I think that She-Hulk was a massive step-down as far as the movement goes and the action.”

Marvel Studios Mistake With Daredevil According to Chris Brewster

In the interview, Brewster revealed another reason why he thinks the MCU is not making things right with Daredevil:

“They really, truly don’t want it to be anything like the Marvel Netflix Daredevil. So, nobody that worked on the original series, other than the cast that they’re bringing back, is coming back. And I mean, there were just some truly, truly wonderful that worked on that show and I think they really added to the magic of that show. And I think Marvel’s making a big mistake, but what you gonna do?”

There is no doubt that the success of Daredevil and The Defenders universe, despite the fact that some shows like Iron Fist received quite a bit of criticism, had to do with the team behind them.

However, another great point in favor of that version of the Man Without Fear was the interpretation of Cox and the villain played by Vincent D’Onofrio, and both will be part of this new story, which can already give some guarantees of quality.

And while it is true that the tone that Marvel Studios uses for its stories is very different from the one used by Netflix, other projects such as Captain America: The Winter Soldier or the recently released Secret Invasion prove that they can also tell darker and more mature stories.

In addition, new characters will arrive soon to the MCU, who will continue to contribute to this idea of ​​expanding their audience and the range of ages they are targeting, such as Deadpool 3 or Blade, and Daredevil: Born Again could align with those stories.
