Kevin Smith Wants to Direct Netflix Series' 'Daredevil' and 'The Defenders'
After directing an episode of this past season's The Flash, and since then voicing his eagerness at helming an episode of Arrow, filmmaker Kevin Smith seems to be getting a little greedy in the superhero TV realm.
Having written one of the Daredevil stories that revitalized the character for Marvel Comics, Smith seems like a fitting candidate to lend a hand to the Netflix series. "I feel very at home in that Flash world, so much so that I'd love to do the others. I even told [Marvel chief creative officer] Joe Quesada - we worked on Daredevil together back in the day, I wrote it, he drew it - I said, 'Dude, I want to direct Daredevil, man.
"That'd be wild to be able to do it in real-life - let's co-direct it, that'd be cool, just like we did the book. We could co-direct an episode and then, like, take the passion from the page to the screen,'" Smith told IGN.
"I'm going to try and make that Daredevil thing happen. Every time I talk to Quesada or [Executive Vice President of Marvel Television] Jeph Loeb, I'm like, 'Hey! When are you going back down to the cameras?'"
