The Defenders is making its way to Netflix in a few weeks, and while everyone seems to be excited to see the return of their favorite Marvel Netflix superheroes, it looks like Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock isn't too happy to make his way back as Daredevil.
The cast of the upcoming superhero mash-up series attended a short panel at the 2017 San Diego Comic Con last weekend and in a round table interview with Cox (via CinemaBlend), fans get to hear the reasons behind Matt's decisions to leave his Daredevil suit as he enters The Defenders.
According to Cox, the reason why Matt's decided to put his work as a vigilante behind him is actually because of the rough time he had back during the second season of Daredevil.
"At the end of Daredevil Season 2, everyone failed. Matt failed, and the consequences were devastating. Six or so months have passed, and he's had to completely reevaluate everything that he believes, everything that he does. And he's decided to hang up the suit, as it were.
He's focusing all of his energies on being a pro bono lawyer. And I don't think he has any interest, really, in being Daredevil anymore."
This is probably the reason why Murdock offers his services as a layer to Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones during the opening sequence of The Defenders teaser and it's probabl gong to take a while for the vigilante lawyer to suit up as Daredevil again in the mini-series.
The Defenders releases on August 18, 2017 on Netflix.
