Great news, it helps that he is a huge fan of the character as proven b this quote"“You’re talking to a guy who had quotes from Daredevil painted on his wall while growing up. Even when I was 18, I still had the blood red door with the, ‘I have shown him that a man without hope is a man without fear.’ That was what I loved and so it’s the sort of thing that if we can find the right project, I would love to do it.”

I'm excited for this but Marvel should have just made a proper Daredevil movie. Now I really wonder though, which other character might Kevin Feige have been referring to when he hinted a secret identity movie for future.

while i do like the tone of the MCU, while it is light,it does have dark moments imo, daredevil, while not dark all the time due to the banter between matt and foggy, it veers for a more dramatic tone which is what i want,i expect it starting with a waid tone then slowly developing into amore Bendis/Miller tone as the show progresses
