Show Creator Drew Goddard Confirms He's Still a Part of DAREDEVIL Season 2



The guy who originally created the DAREDEVIL Netflix series, wrote its first two episodes and was the original showrunner is still a part of Season 2. Drew Goddard had to leave Season 1 when opportunity knocked and Sony offered him to develop and write a Sinister Six movie before it was scrapped when Sony and Marvel Studios partnered up to bring SPIDER-MAN into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Goddard still has an executive producer title — since he did create the hugely popular series — and he confirmed to Collider he comes in for story consulting too.

“I love Marvel, I still work with them. I was in the writers room of Season 2 a couple weeks ago—it’s going. I think this sort of got portrayed as this sort of animosity, [but] it’s never been the case. They know I love their properties, they’ve been very nice to me, we just keep trying to find the right fit. 
"For me it’s all about how do I make it personal? With Matt Murdock I just had such a personal connection to that character it was just like, ‘I have to do this.’ I don’t want to—I call it 'superhero karaoke', I don’t wanna be a guy that just takes the comics and then shoots them onscreen. I think it’s our job to treat it as if it’s our run. If I’m the writer of a comic book, you wouldn’t just retell someone else’s story, you would just take that ball and move it forward.”

Goddard also shared his Daredevil fandom and how it's great that it's also his job.

“I’m always there when they wanna talk about it, because this is what I do in my spare time anyway, sit around and talk about Daredevil. So if it counts as a job, I’m always ready to do it.”

DAREDEVIL Season 2 is currently filming in New York City and will premiere on Netflix in the 2nd quarter of 2016.
