At Last, The Full-Length ‘Daredevil’ Trailer Is Here
There is exactly one month left until Marvel’s Daredevil premieres on Netflix. As most of the world has finished House of Cards (except me) and working their way through The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (except me, again, guys my work commute sucks), Daredevil is creeping right around the corner. Like the real Daredevil. And now the full-length trailer is now online.
Unlike the previous teasers, this gives us the best look at the series overall to date. I was already stoked and prepared to binge on its premiere weekend, but now I wish the premiere could happen like right freaking now.
Of note is the location: Hell’s Kitchen. I work about a couple blocks away from Hell’s Kitchen, it’s about a twenty minute walk. Hell’s Kitchen today isn’t really a crime-ridden hell hole that it was until just maybe ten years ago. It’s interesting that in this Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hell’s Kitchen remains the dark place it used to be known for. Perhaps the Battle of New York in The Avengers drove the wealthy upper middle class away? I hope there’s at least some explanation.
A small reminder: Marvel’s Daredevil premieres the same weekend of Game of Thrones and will be at least week two into Mad Men‘s last leg. Prepare to watch TV all weekend.
Also, for funsies, compare this new series trailer with the one from the 2003 theatrical film. There’s no doubt that a decade plus change can highlight a change in cultural sensibilities, but it remains startling just how different the recent past is.
Marvel’s Daredevil premieres April 10th. I know you’re ready.
