In the source
material Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil powers are his heightened remaining senses
of smell, hearing, touch, and taste. In the 2003 film starring Ben Affleck as
the Man Without Fear he had sonar type abilities, and now?
Speaking at the
Scratch the Surface podcast, Charlie Cox the star of the upcoming
Marvel/Netflix series revealed how his powers will be depicted in the upcoming
series.
"We had to adapt
certain things for the purpose of storytelling. Like for example, and I’m
making this up so there are no spoilers here, there is a scene where I come
into the room, and lets say there are guns all over the floor on one side of
the room and drugs on the other side of the room. Im just making this up, I
promise I’m just making this up. So lets say that’s the scene. I come into the
room, and I [Daredevil] can pick up on those things, based on a combination of
his senses, smell, gunpowder in the air, taste of cocaine in the air or
whatever, he can sense those things. But you can’t tell that story on camera
without having a camera move that goes to them. Daredevil wouldn’t need to look
in that direction in order to sense those objects, but the camera needs to. So
we had to come up with a way where he has to focus on things in order to kind
of sense them, and by focusing he kind of cocks his head towards what it is
he’s trying to get a sense of, trying to kind of create an image in his mind of
what it is, so we can tell that story."
What do you think?
