— Daredevil (@Daredevil) March 2, 2015D'Onofrio shaved his head and added about 30 pounds for the role. "I wanted him to have an appearance of being super-powerful so that when he throws a punch, it's a major punch," he explains his transformation to USA Today. "There's a lot of weight behind it."
Adapted from Marvel comic series, the 13-episode series follows Murdock, a blind man who works as a lawyer during the day and uses his other senses at night to fight crime. It will premiere April 10 with the first two episodes penned by Drew Goddard ("The Cabin in the Woods").
Charlie Cox plays the titular vigilante, Deborah Ann Woll portrays Karen Page, and Elden Henson is cast as Foggy Nelson.
