6 Ways Daredevil Could Return In The MCU

6. A New Season On Disney+

By far the most touted destination for Netflix's Marvel shows to head in the wake of their respective cancellations is Disney+, the Mouse House's upcoming streaming service that has, in an ironic twist of fate, proven to be the death-knell for Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. However, Marvel fans shouldn't get their hopes up that these characters will simply pack their bags and join this other service. It could still happen, but out of all the possible destinations for Daredevil and his merry band of Defenders, this one is the least likely.

To begin with, there's the tonal mismatch. Daredevil, Jessica Jones and the rest of Marvel's Netflix shows were decidedly darker than the main MCU, and though the ending of Daredevil Season 3 certainly positioned the character in a happier context, it still wouldn't be enough to cut the cloth on the more family oriented Disney+ - particularly when the three preceding seasons of the show would remain on Netflix.

It's a shame, because in theory, Disney+ should be where Daredevil ends up. However, due to its past ties with Netflix, its tone and the fact that Disney's Marvel shows will be helmed by Marvel Studios and not Marvel TV, don't expect the Man without Fear to swap one service for this particular one.

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.
