Latest Movies 2019 | #SaveDaredevil Art Floods In As Fans Urge Marvel to Bring Back The Show

Daredevil inspired artwork continues to flood social media amidst the #SaveDaredevil campaign. After the rights to the series reverted to Marvel from Netflix this past weekend, fans rallied to get #SaveDaredevil trending on Twitter. The hope is that Disney will bring back the original cast and retain the series's darker tone. In the show, Charlie Cox played Matt Murdock alongside a cast rounded out by Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, and Rosario Dawson.

Daredevil aired on Netflix for three seasons beginning in 2015. The show was part of a broader attempt to build a shared universe of Netflix Marvel shows, to mediocre results. Critics praised Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones, but Iron Fist did not fare as well. The heroes team-up in The Defenders was flawed, albeit enjoyed by fans. However, Netflix ultimately canceled the show just as Disney launched their own streaming service, Disney+.

#SaveDaredevil is a coordinated effort to save the series as it was on Netflix. Fans were not only given instructions on how to get the topic trending on Twitter but were also encouraged to flood other social media sites with Daredevil content. VenomhologyMizuriauBosslogicRicojr took to Instagram to post Daredevil art to garner more attention. Most of the art centers around Cox's take on the character, adopting the show's darker palette and tone. Check out some of the posts below:

 

The Netflix Marvel shows have a passionate fanbase, one that loves their grittier take on superheroes. Additionally, after Ben Affleck's failed attempt at the character, fans fell in love with Cox's take on the New York hero. Keeping Cox in the role for the MCU is one of the primary motivations of the fan campaign. Marvel is likely to bring back Daredevil no matter what, but getting the Netflix cast back together could bring new subscribers to Disney+.

The most challenging aspect of bringing Netflix's Daredevil to Disney+ is the tone of the show. Disney's streaming content is highly focused on family-oriented content, while Netflix's shows allowed for a more mature tone. The shows did not hold back on the violence or language, something Disney has been reticent to introduce on its streaming platform. Disney and Marvel could always tone down the more graphic aspects of the show while still retaining the spirit, but that would also risk fan pushback. Whatever Disney decides to do, though, they'll have to contend with Daredevil's vocal fanbase.
