10 Perfect Marvel Comics Stories Phase 4 Must Adapt

4. Anything Involving A Daredevil-Spidey Team-Up

Marvel Comics

Since Daredevil first graced the MCU in 2015, fans have been left wondering just when - or even if - the character will get the chance to interact with Earth's Mightiest Heroes on the big screen.

While it looks unlikely to happen, there are plenty of organic ways to incorporate the MCU's Netflix characters into the wider Marvel canon. One such avenue involves a team-up between the two New York heroes with the biggest history between them: the man without fear himself, and everyone's favourite wall-crawler, Spider-Man.

Matt Murdock and Peter Parker have been massive allies in the comics for some time now, and have consequently gone onto share the page on many an occasion. The pair are pretty much best buds, and - as the desire is already there to see the two crossover on the big screen - it should, ideally, be well on its way to happening.

While the logistics of such a move are complex and even more difficult to carry out, it's a team-up Marvel should really be looking to pursue in some form or another, even with the contrasting tones of the company's big and small screen projects. Peter will have to grow up eventually, and, with those high school years behind him, an introduction to the darker elements of the MCU should be a given. Who better a guide than Matt Murdock?

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
