kitik Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Cox seems like a good enough choice. DeKnight too. I wonder how many other roles we'll hear about. Favreau for Foggy again!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Big fan of Daredevil, so I am glad they got a good cast for this. I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Very curious as to what Rosario Dawson's character will be? I could see Echo or White Tiger. Of course she could be a wholly original character for the show like Coulson was for the films and the AoS cast were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
