Drew Goddard Leaves ‘Daredevil’ To Focus On ‘Sinister Six’

Briefly: Just yesterday word broke out that director Edgar Wright had left Marvel’s Ant-Man over creative differences, and now it appears that Marvel has lost another director.

Latino-Review was the first to report the news, which was later confirmed by Variety, that Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard had departed the upcoming Netflix original Daredevil series. Goddard was set to write and direct the first episode in the miniseries, and also act as its showrunner. Instead, he’ll focus his attention on Sony’s Sinister Six film, which he is also set to write and direct.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer writer and Spartacus showrunner Steven S. DeKnight has taken the reigns on the project, which will premiere on Netflix in 2015.
