Daredevil showrunner Steven S. DeKnight has been answering fan questions on Twitter, and while he doesn't reveal too much like previous times, he let us know that he will soon direct Daredevil finale, which he wrote as well. He also says the show won't be an adaptation of the Miller/Romita run, he would like to use Wilber Day (probably a misspelling of Wilbur Day) on the show, who in the comics becomes the Stilt-Man, what kind of easter eggs we can expect and if he would like to do something with the Punisher in the future. Any thoughts?

Hell no. But it's pretty damn cool. RT @The_Superguy: @stevendeknight can you give us any hints?
— Steven DeKnight (@stevendeknight) November 28, 2014

Not at all. Living the dream requires occasional sacrifice. RT @Deronta1985: You spent Thanksgiving working? That's sad!
— Steven DeKnight (@stevendeknight) November 28, 2014

When I have time. Love it! RT @ryan_curtis: @stevendeknight do you usually direct an ep?
— Steven DeKnight (@stevendeknight) November 28, 2014

Not at all. Just drawing inspiration. RT @Wastedtheshow: @stevendeknight the #DD series is totally based on Miller/JRJR mini?
— Steven DeKnight (@stevendeknight) November 28, 2014

Apples and oranges. But if you like fruit, both are delicious. RT @travdog789: will #Daredevil live up to #Spartacus standards
— Steven DeKnight (@stevendeknight) November 28, 2014

Yes indeed. RT @ryan_curtis: @stevendeknight did you write it? Be cool to see it delivered exactly how it was envisioned.
— Steven DeKnight (@stevendeknight) November 28, 2014

No idea. I hope so! RT @OcassionalVlog: @stevendeknight any idea if we will get it on Netflix Canada?
— Steven DeKnight (@stevendeknight) November 28, 2014

Absolutely! And can't say. RT @ryan_curtis: do you do your shot list for all scenes during prep? How many days are you shoot per ep?
— Steven DeKnight (@stevendeknight) November 28, 2014

Oh yes. RT @ryan_curtis: @stevendeknight okay how about as showrunner and director does anyone get to say "no, not in the budget?"
— Steven DeKnight (@stevendeknight) November 28, 2014

Love to write/direct a Punisher movie. Does that count?RT @ThaConLife: Would you love to include Punisher in the future with Daredevil?
— Steven DeKnight (@stevendeknight) November 28, 2014

Actually not that much. RT @odysseyprotocol: @ hoe often did you say, "That would be awesome but we don't have the budget for it."?
— Steven DeKnight (@stevendeknight) November 28, 2014

Oh yes. Some obvious. Some very obscure. RT @nailbiter111: @stevendeknight Will Daredevil feature a lot of Easter Eggs?
— Steven DeKnight (@stevendeknight) November 28, 2014

Wilber Day. RT @swartz_ethan: @stevendeknight if you could have one person from the entire marvel universe on the show who would it be?

Just give the man Punisher already.

He directed each episode?

@MrCBM56
I don't think so, he said he directs when he has time, not every episode

I'm praying for a punisher cameo

SpiderFraud - 11/29/2014, 3:56 PM

I really hope they somehow incorporate Stilt-man and Leap-Frog.

XelCorp - 11/29/2014, 4:14 PM

Put it on Netflix in Canada or [Frick] off

TheRedCondom - 11/29/2014, 4:17 PM

I need something from this series already

TheRedCondom - 11/29/2014, 4:20 PM

Jeremy Renner is a 49er fan???

That must suck

Abary - 11/29/2014, 4:25 PM

There was any doubt as to whether or not we'd get it in Canada?!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Khanlark - 11/29/2014, 4:42 PM

Marvel Studios is the Chelsea F.C of movie studios.
A bunch of rentboys.

Invictor - 11/29/2014, 4:51 PM

I'm kind of glad the Miller/Romita Jr. Daredevil will not serve as basis for the show, even though it was good.

CanadaMan - 11/29/2014, 4:51 PM

I'm actually so pissed about the possibility of us not getting it here in Canada. :/ Why do we get screwed over so often with stuff like this?!

Invictor - 11/29/2014, 4:53 PM

@CanadaMan @DrDoom

If it's not in Canada, then it'll sure be on couchtuner.

Invictor - 11/29/2014, 4:56 PM

I'm very pumped for this show. Just think about it: We have the Kingpin and Daredevil, both in the same universe as The Avengers. They share the same world with Howard the Duck and with the events that happened in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Invictor - 11/29/2014, 4:56 PM

Not same world, but same universe. You know what I mean.

Axiom - 11/29/2014, 4:56 PM

and this isn't on main because...? It has more than enough thumbs up...

fuffy - 11/29/2014, 5:00 PM

how many thumps up do I need? 8 right?
It went to main when it had 6 but it didn't stay there :(

MisterBatfleck - 11/29/2014, 5:01 PM

And once again Canada may get the shaft. Looks like I gotta watch this on the Internet.

TheRationalNerd - 11/29/2014, 5:13 PM

You gotta give Marvel respect for things like this, I think Netflix will be the gateway to explore more grounded darker heroes within any franchise.

fuffy - 11/29/2014, 5:16 PM

@JoshWilding @RorMachine

Any advice so my articles stay on main? or the content of the article is just not enough?

bigdannymac - 11/29/2014, 5:32 PM

@MisterBatfleck - Its not hard to get american netflix in canada. I switch back and forth all the time. How do you watch netflix? I use the PS3 and PS4.. I set one to American and one to Canadian.

aknightinarkham - 11/29/2014, 5:47 PM

A Punisher netflix series based on Punisher MAX and Punisher Warzone NEEDS to happen.

Also, The Punisher game was EPIC

we all know the only chance another live action Punisher has is on Netflix. They should get Kurt Sutter to do it though.
