With comic-based shows proliferating on the small screen, it’s perhaps inevitable that we hit two significant casting announcements on the same day. Marvel has found its Daredevil, and a former Flash has his role in the new production.
Charlie Cox has been cast as Daredevil in the new Marvel series for Netflix, according to Variety. Cox co-starred in Stardust, based on the Neil Gaiman novel, in 2007. He’s also known for a recurring role on Boardwalk Empire.
Daredevil just had a shake-up at the top, with a new showrunner hired in just the last few days (see “Marvel Loses Showrunner”).
And on the other side of the street, John Wesley Shipp, who played Barry Allen/the Flash in the 1990/1991 TV series (which has been out on DVD, see “’The Flash’ DVD Set Out in January”), will play Barry Allen’s father in the new The Flash series on the CW (see “Faster than a Speeding Arrow”).
