Charlie Cox’s Daredevil came a long way to his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After the rumors and his successful cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Homefinally, his appearance in She-Hulk: Lawyer She-Hulk excited the fans.
But it also aroused controversy. Not only because of its appearance – different from the Netflix series – but because of the argument that surrounded it. There were even comments about what was considered a gratuitous and rushed sexual scene with the protagonist of the series.
Writer and producer Jessica Gao stepped up to the comments. In particular, because of fans’ concerns about Daredevil’s look and tone, which could influence her future solo series. According to the creator, the story of She-Hulk: Lawyer She-Hulkavailable in Disney+, works as a “capsule” of situations in Marvel. So that Matt Murdock’s appearance and behavior will not be final for his participation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“Our version gets to be a little bit different than what it will be in his series,” Gao told TheDirect, which cleared doubts about the character’s humorous tone in the episode. However, the big question for fans is whether Daredevil’s involvement shows that the future version will be completely different from Netflix’s. Charlie Cox himself pointed out that Daredevil: Born Again will not be linked to the remembered series and insisted that it will be “a new beginning.” But one of the writers of Daredevil of Netflix, Steven DeKnight, had a timely intervention on social networks that offers clues about the future of the hero.
DeKnight recognized the creative team at She-Hulk: Lawyer She-Hulk. For the producer, it was “a relief” that the essence of the hero was maintained. He also praised Gao and his team’s decision to “take what (we) did with Daredevil and execute him.” Which makes it clear, once and for all, that The version of Murdock in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be very similar to the Netflix proposal. The writer’s satisfaction reached the point of publicly congratulating Gao for “taking such fantastic care of the character.”
daredevil in She-Hulk: Lawyer She-Hulk
The debate on the personality of Daredevil in Marvel has been one of the most urgent around the figure of the beloved hero. Specifically, in the face of his return in his own series for Marvel. The plot, still unknown, will not take up the Netflix story.
Several of the fan reviews expressed concern that the essence of the character might be lost. In fact, Twitter users confronted to DeKnight for the way he Daredevil displayed an unknown physical ability in She-Hulk: Lawyer She-Hulk.
“Zero problems! If he would have had the money, you can also bet he would have had Daredevil doing crazy stunts,” the creative commented. This is a direct acknowledgment from DeKnight that, thus far, the character continues the line he laid out on Netflix. So it is more than likely that the adaptation of the character for the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be more complex than previously thought. A combination between what has already been seen on Netflix and the addition of the comic version of it.
A surprising romance between superheroes
Another of the controversial points of the season finale of She-Hulk: Lawyer She-Hulk it was the way that Matt Murdock and Jennifer Walters interacted with each other. Some considered that the obvious attraction between the characters, which quickly turned into a full-fledged romance, was rushed and artificial.
There was even criticism for the humorous scene that shows Murdock walking down the street without shoes early in the morning. Just after spending the night at the house of the protagonist of the series. The light-hearted, humorous tone was accused of contradicting the way Daredevil had been presented so far.

A reaffirmation that, until now, the way of conceiving Daredevil in Marvel follows a more than satisfactory path.
