Marvel has found its Man Without Fear! Tonight, the company announced via its website that Boardwalk Empire and Stardust actor Charlie Cox has been cast as Daredevil in the upcoming Netflix series. The show will have 13 episodes and is expected to come out sometime in 2015. That's plenty of time to get a Netflix subscription, yes?

It's worth adding that Marvel also recently announced Steven S. DeKnight will be the showrunner. So, what do you think of the casting news, Viners? Can you see Cox flipping around the rooftops of Hell's Kitchen or were you rooting for someone else to land the role? Let us know below!

Wow! I thought he was great on Boardwalk Empire, so I'm glad he got the role. He'll pull it off.

Odd. I was actually watching Stardust the other day.

Ok

I hope he's good! I wonder who's going to be Foggy.....

Eh.

Sounds good to me. Enjoyed his performance in Boardwalk Empire.

Alright...

Ok

Typical Marvel casting of unknown known actors. I liked him well enough in Stardust but I really don't give a whoot about actors.

Eh I'm just glad their moving forward with casting, idk anything about this guy but he doesn't really look the part IMO

@jonny_anonymous thoughts?

Cool.

NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Matt Murdock is suppose to have red hair!!!!!!!! WTF Marvel!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just Kidding

@matthewparker: idk as far as looking the part as soon as the pic loaded i was like yea i can see that. never a huge daredevil fan though so maybe its just me

I'm game

I approve!

more or less the same. as long as story wise its good and not crap ill be fine

I think he'll do alright. @vance_astro

Hahaha, it could be just me since im not the biggest daredevil fan either.

I'll wait and see

Very cool.

I'm down.

RAGE FILLED COMMENT!!!! NO RED HARR! HE ISNT REALLY BLIND! MATT"S NOT BRITISH! AHH I AM SOOOOOO DONE WITH U MARVEL!!!!!!

Cool.

Sure, why not. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do in the role.

I'm cool with this.

I have confidence in the guy that he'll do a great job, but I still want to see the suit though

He was awesome in Boardwalk Empire, curious as to if he'll be right for the role or not. I don't doubt his acting skills though so I've got faith he'll do his best. Anyone have a video or snippet of him doing an American accent?

I can't picture him fighting...

This.

Oh, wait...I mean...

Sarcasm complete.

I've never heard of him. But as long as he shaves and dyes his hair red I'm sure he'll do fine.

I'm just happy that things are back on track, I'm okay with the casting

What? MetH tHougHt Gordon Levitt was going to be DD.

-ABstract4$$#073-

HMMMMMMMMMM.

I don't much about him

but it's too early to judge anyhow.

So I'll give him a chance.

Not sure about this, but I'll wait and see.

@jwalser3: Watch Stardust.

Comic book fans are the worst. Always nitpicking.

Will see.

I BET HIS DAD IS NOT EVEN DEAD OR A FORMER BOXER

And the photoshopping begins... NOW!

@dagmar_merrill: I'm not sure yet

On topic: Don't know who he is, not that I'm surprised given I didn't know who anyone else was in any other superhero TV show when they were first cast.

Um whooooo?

Whatever. I'll give him a chance but he doesn't come off as a Matt Murdock to me. I hate to be so negative but I can't help to feel a little disappointed

To my shame I haven't watched this series enough, from what I've seen here this guy should be Bullseye.

@comicstooge: There is a fair difference between that and what DD does

Just trying to expand his imagination.
