Will we ever see a Spiderman/Daredevil crossover


like we got in the comics?

Don't hate on contrarians

Possibly, it's been mentioned before that we may see daredevil or other characters in the film but they may not be played by the same characters from the show. The film versions may be their own thing

reply

Refresh my memory. Where did this idea come from that if the Netflix characters appear in the movies they'll be played by different actors? Charlie Cox has specifically said that he's contracted for movie appearances if Marvel needs him. I suspect the same is true for other actors from the Netflix shows as well. Not to mention the fact that recasting those characters kind of goes against the whole idea of a shared universe.

reply

There was an interview where they talked about it, if daredevil appeared on film it may not be daredevil linked to the show but a character that is linked to the film universe itself.

Marvel TV and Marvel Studios are two very different things. So even if the character were to appear in that film, that doesn’t necessarily mean that I would appear in that film. I will pick a fight with the guy that they choose!”

The marvel television unit and the film division fon't get along. The film universe and the television universe don't even feel like they are in the same universe and barely connect, so having the netflix daredevil appear in film doesn't make any sense. The films never make any connections to tv or netflix and the shows bately connect to the movies. It doesn't make sense to treat them as if it all exists in the same universe because they don't. Shield is gone in the film universe, coulson is dead.

Friction between the divisions aside, Kevin Feige sees them as part of the same universe.

And the link you supplied is one person's speculation based on something Charlie Cox said, "That doesn't necessarily mean I that I would appear in the film."

That's one actor's opinion...one actor who doesn't make that decision.

Feige has repeated several times that they're the same universe. The only one who ever said that Coulson is dead in the movies was Joss Whedon, the guy who brought him back to life in the first place.

Coulson or shield has never been seen again or referenced that he is still alive. They can keep claiming that they are in the same universe but they don't put any work into showing it. Until there is any direct evidence all the shows exist in it's own universe and the netflix is it's own universe. The daredevil from the netflix show wouldn't really fit into the film universe

I'm no fan of Agents of Shield (I gave up watching it during it's second season) - but don't SLJ appearing as Nick Fury in AoS, Cobie Smulders appearing as Agent Hill, direct references to events in Avengers and TWS, and the inclusion of the Accords count as evidence?

Sif has also appeared on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. But for some people, the show referencing the movies isn't good enough. The movies have to reference the show, otherwise people will insist they must be set in different universes. It's ridiculous.

The movies will always occupy the top spot on the MCU food chain. They're designed to reach the biggest audience possible. That includes casual fans who may not watch AOS or the Netflix shows. The creative teams behind the movies can't make the assumption that everyone in their audience is familiar with the TV side of the MCU. On the flip side, if someone is watching AOS, Daredevil, etc., it's much more reasonable to assume that that person is also a fan of the movies. In other words, it's likely that a reference to Age of Ultron or Civil War made on AOS will be "gotten" by a large number of viewers. But a reference to something that happened on one of the TV shows could seem quite out of place in one of the movies.

Which makes perfect sense.

On top of what everyone else has said, AoS has tied into Age of Ultron in particular in two small but pivotal ways; Coulson is the one who issues the call for the Avengers to raid Strucker's base, and he's the one who provides the Helicarrier Fury arrives with at the climax.

Without those two things the story goes down very different.

As for Daredevil, without the first Avengers the events of that show never happen.

The shows and movies are connected until we have reason to believe otherwise.

Also good examples.

On season one of Daredevil, Ben Urich has a framed headline in his office showing that he covered the Hulk/Abomination Harlem showdown in TIH. The point is, there's plenty of evidence to support the shows and movies being in the same universe. It really isn't even in question but for some reason, there's a fair amount of people who seem to really want to believe they aren't connected and are willing to ignore onscreen evidence in favor of a few out-of-context remarks made by Whedon and Cox. I don't get it.

Ah, that's interesting.

The Coulson thing was addressed in last week's SHIELD premiere: the agency itself is legit again, but Coulson is still officially dead as far as the outside world is concerned.

reply

The Netflix series and the films are in the same universe.

Wether Daredevil or any other Marvel superheroes from Netflix will appear in the films it depends on the timing.

reply

Unfortunately, they are so different in tone that it would be disappointing.

The Netflix shows have more mature content, while Spider-Man is more geared for kids.

I'm kinda hoping not in this adaptation of the Marvel universe. Matt Murdock and Peter Parker are more like peers in the comics, with Matt representing the more lawful side of superheroics and Peter being the embodiment of common morality. They work incredibly well together in "The Evil That Men Do" and "The Death of Jean DeWolff" in how they bounce off each others' ethics and points-of-view.

With the age difference and lack of crossover in the daily lives (Peter being in High School for one thing) I don't think they'd have that same relationship, especially since Peter's youth would make his opinions come across as naivety.

Peter will inevitably get older as the movie's go on, and with that I figure his life will get much darker with time. Probably never Netflux level dark, but being able to mix characters so radically varied in tone and background is kinda the point of the MCU.

Yes, a mix of the first Iron Man/Winter Soldier level.
