Welcome to the world of “Daredevil,” where Catholic guilt, hallway fights and philosophical pondering reign supreme and the parallel journeys of Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk unfold, leading one to become the red-suited hero known as Daredevil and the other to shed his heroic aspirations and embrace the dark mantle as the Kingpin.

The first season charts those journeys in tandem, introducing us to Charlie Cox’s Murdock, an up-and-coming lawyer who was blinded as a child in an accident. But that accident also gifted him with super-sensory powers that allow Murdock to take justice into his own hands outside the law after working hours. Though he will become Marvel’s horned hero Daredevil, the Man Without Fear, he spends most of the first season as “The Man in the Mask,” donning a pedestrian black outfit including a black mask pulled over his eyes.

Murdock works with his best friend and fellow lawyer,...

Game of Thrones' Lena Headey and Barry's Henry Winkler have joined the cast of Bob Odenkirk's upcoming action movie Normal. Odenkirk was previously confirmed to be reuniting with Nobody screenwriter Derek Kolstad for the project, which will be directed by Meg 2: The Trench's Ben Wheatley. The story features Odenkirk playing a stand-in sheriff named Ulysses in the Minnesota town of Normal, where Ulysses uncovers a shocking discovery following a local bank robbery. Filming has already wrapped on Odenkirk's other upcoming action movie, Nobody 2.

As per Variety, Headey will be playing the local bartender while Winkler plays the mayor of Normal. The movie's production in Winnipeg, Canada began in October and is scheduled to continue through December, with the project being produced by the same team who worked on Nobody and Nobody 2. Ryan Allen, Billy MacLellan, Brendan Fletcher, Peter Shinkoda and Jess McLeod have also joined the cast in supporting roles.

Henry Winkler and Lena Headey have joined Bob Odenkirk in the upcoming action movie “Normal,” from the producing team behind the 2021 hit “Nobody.”

In “Normal,” Odenkirk plays Ulysses, who is appointed substitute sheriff in the tiny Minnesota town of Normal, populated by friendly Midwesterners. When the local bank is sacked, Ulysses “unknowingly uncovers something far more explosive than a simple bank robbery,” per the logline.

Winkler, star of “Happy Days” and “Barry,” will play the mayor of Normal, while “Game of Thrones” and “300” favorite Headey is the local bartender, Moira.

“Normal” is directed by Ben Wheatley from a screenplay written by “John Wick” creator Derek Kolstad, who shares a story credit with Odenkirk. Producers are Marc Provissiero (“Nobody,” “No Hard Feelings”), Odenkirk and Kolstad, who all recently wrapped “Nobody 2.”

The portrayal of Hawaii onscreen has ranged from war dramas about Pearl Harbor to “The Descendants” and “50 First Dates” to “The White Lotus,” and most recently “Last Goal Wins.” Now, the tropical paradise in the Pacific finds a new lens — and voice — in Christopher Kahunahana’s feature debut “Waikiki.”

While the film fumbles through a stripped down script and stumbles towards a surrealist attempt at reframing the threats of tourism, “Waikiki” still offers a voice from a Native Hawaiian about his homeland. Sundance Lab alum Kahunahana wrote and directed the drama which follows hula dancer Kea (Danielle Zalopany) as her personal life crumbles.

Kea tries to hide the black eye her boyfriend Branden (Jason Quinn) pummeled into her; she tries to plaster a smile onstage while dancing and keeps her spirits up to deflect questions about her injury to curious young students where she teaches. But it’s when...

(Los Angeles, CA) The dystopian science-fiction audio drama Broken Road, created by Fear The Walking Dead writer Jacob Pinion and Hero Mode producer E.J. Kavounas, has published its entire ten-episode first season, following a veteran struggling with obsolete military implants who teams up with a defiant farmer and her daughter against a corrupt, morally unhinged lawman. The first season has reached over 100K downloads.

Broken Road offers something for everyone: action-packed fight scenes, quiet moments of personal struggle, romantic tension, and human connection. At its core, it is a story of community-based resilience and resourcefulness in the face of unrelenting corporate greed and seemingly insurmountable forces. Based on the short story “Patience Lake” by Matthew Claxton, writers Pinion and Kavounas were inspired by the subject.

“I was drawn to the stark juxtaposition of near-future sci-fi within a grounded, human story about survival and the refusal to let go of the American dream,...

Offering a literal behind-the-scenes glimpse of the iconic tourist spot, Christopher Kahunahana’s splendid debut feature, Waikiki, is a succinct emotional dive into the complex intergenerational trauma that plagues many Native Hawaiians. Foregrounding the stark economic divide between the resorts and the city, Kahunahana’s film is purportedly the first film written and directed by a Native Hawaiian. A marvel of economic storytelling, Waikiki spotlights the social and spiritual erosion of colonial tourism on the indigenous population.

The film follows Kea (Danielle Zalopany), a hard working native Hawaiian who is balancing three jobs while living out of her van, and saving enough money for a room. One drunken night, after a fight with her abusive boyfriend (Jason Quinn), she flees in her van – hitting a homeless man, Wo (Peter Shinkoda) in the process. Distraught, she puts Wo into her van, eventually shuttling him around as she attempts to maintain her rotating jobs.

"A combination of beauty, pain, and longing..." An official trailer has debuted for a strange, mesmerizing new film titled Waikiki, marking the feature directorial debut of native Hawaiian filmmaker Christopher Kahunahana. One of the quotes in this trailer even says this "marks the emergence of a New Hawaiian Cinema" which actually might be the case. As much as that is superlative, this film seems like it might be the first of its kind - showing us a side of Hawaii we've never seen before. When a hula dancer on the run crashes into a broken spirit of a man (a mysterious homeless guy in the dead of night), they begin a journey into a hidden world, developing a connection through humanity, nature, and their culture. The indie film stars Danielle Zalopany as Kea, along with Peter Shinkoda, Jason Quinn, Kimo Kahoano, Nick Masciangelo, and Kainoa Mcgee. There's tons of peculiar,...

“This has been an enormously difficult year for nonprofits, artists and arts organizations, and creative entrepreneurs in Hawai’i. While our 40th anniversary isn’t the grand experience we had been planning, I could not be more proud and excited to announce our Festival lineup.” says Hiff Executive Director, Beckie Stocchetti. “For our 40th anniversary, the Hiff lineup is a statement on the perseverance and resilience of Hawaii’s community and entrepreneurial spirit. In an unexpected Festival year, we are proud to have pivoted our theater experience into a top-tier streaming experience,...

After impressing audiences with his 2014 debut, the short film “Lahaina Noon,” Native Hawaiian filmmaker Christopher Kahunahana is returning to the big screen with his feature debut, “Waikiki.” The film, starring Danielle Zalopany and Peter Shinkoda, will hit the festival circuit this season and is billed as an “unflinching glimpse into the gritty realities of life in paradise.”

The Sundance Lab alum will also be making history with this debut, as he’s believed to be the first Native Hawaiian filmmaker to both write and direct a feature. Per its official synopsis: “Escaping her abusive ex, Kea, a part-time Hawaiian teacher, hula dancer, and nightclub hostess, crashes her beat-up van into a mysterious homeless man in the dead of night. Taking him into her temporary home on wheels, she quickly finds herself in over her head — and face to face with her own past traumas.”

Peter Shinkoda, who played crime boss Nobu Yoshioka in nine episodes of Marvel’s Netflix superhero series “Daredevil,” revealed during Comic-Con@Home (via The Wrap) that former Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb deliberately cut out stories centered on Asian characters from the series. Loeb allegedly told the “Daredevil” writers room that “nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people” in film and television projects. One storyline that Loeb reportedly cut deepened the relationship between Shinkoda’s Nobu and Wai Ching Ho’s character, Madame Gao.

“Jeph Loeb told the writers room not to write for Nobu and Gao — and this was reiterated many times by many of the writers and showrunners,” Shinkoda said. “[Loeb said], ‘Nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people. There were three previous Marvel movies, a trilogy called ‘Blade’ that was made where Wesley Snipes killed 200 Asians each movie. Nobody gives a shit so don’t write about Nobu and Gao,...

“Daredevil” actor Peter Shinkoda on Sunday accused former Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb of making anti-Asian comments in the writer’s room of the Netflix series.

During a panel put on by #SaveDaredevilCon, Shinkoda — who played crime boss Nobu Yoshioka in nine episodes — revealed that Loeb had instructed writers to scrap plans for a storyline that would delve deeper into Nobu’s relationship with Madame Gao (Wai Ching Ho).

“Jeph Loeb told the writers room not to write for Nobu and Gao — and this was reiterated many times by many of the writers and showrunners — that [he said] ‘Nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people. There were three previous Marvel movies, a trilogy called Blade that was made where Wesley Snipes killed 200 Asians each movie. Nobody gives a s— so don’t write about Nobu and Gao,'” Shinkoda said. “And they were forced to put their storyline down and drop it.

Though Marvel TV in its previous iteration is at this point all but extinct, there is still much to discuss about the now-canceled flagship of the Netflix/Marvel collaboration, Daredevil. Speaking on a livestream organized by the #SaveDaredevil campaign, actor Peter Shinkoda, who played Nobu, leader of The Hand, revealed that Jeph Loeb, then-head of Marvel TV, had purposefully cut storylines for his character while claiming “nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people.”

One of the most glaring problems with “Daredevil” and its partner show “The Defenders” were their slight and stereotypical portrayals of their Asian characters, when they weren’t just part of a faceless mob of ninjas for the eponymous hero to beat up.

If recent comments by Thor: Ragnarok star Tessa Thompson are anything to go by, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is set to make diversity and inclusion one of the pillars of their output throughout Phase Four and beyond, with rumors that it could even lead to wholesale changes for the franchise’s roster of marquee superheroes.

Projects like Black Panther II, The Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, among others, seem to reinforce this notion, but in an explosive new interview, Daredevil‘s Peter Shinkoda, who played Nobu in seasons 1 and 2, claims that former Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb actively discouraged the writers on the show from fleshing out or giving backstories to the Netflix series’ Asian characters.

Daredevil star Peter Shinkoda says that former Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb made anti-Asian comments to the writers of the popular Netflix series behind the scenes. During a YouTube livestream for SaveDaredevilCon, which aims to add momentum to a potential Daredevil revival, the 49-year-old Canadian actor said Loeb made the writing team drop storylines for his character Nobu and fellow The Hand villain Madame Gao (Wai Ching Ho) during the first two seasons of the show, because “nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people.”

“Jeph Loeb told the writer’s room not to write for Nobu and Gao, and this was reiterated many times by many of the writers and showrunners, that nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people… so don’t write about Nobu and Gao,” remarked Shinkoda (via Cbm), who was joined on the stream by Daredevil co-stars Geoffrey Cantor and Tommy Walker. “And they were...

Daredevil Actor Peter Shinkoda took a stand on Sunday during #SaveDaredevilCon as he claimed that former head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb said anti-Asian comments during the production of the series.

Shinkoda plays Nobu Yoshioka who is part of the Hand in the series. During a panel with fellow actors Geoffrey Cantor and Tommy Walker, Shinkoda talked about how there was a story about Nobu in the works that dove deeper into his relationship with Madame Gao (Wai Ching Ho) but it as scrapped. He was clearly reluctant to talk about it at first, but that reluctance was quick to go away because he felt that he had to say something.

The 2017 Oscar nominations were revealed on Tuesday, and as anticipated, Casey Affleck is up for best actor for his role in Manchester by the Sea. While his performance in the film has put him in the spotlight, it has also shone a light on the multiple allegations of sexual harassment against him from 2010. Though both cases were eventually settled out of court, some people are not happy with how he is being celebrated so far this award season. Shortly after the nominations were released, Fresh Off the Boat actress Constance Wu took to social media to call out the actor and the Academy. "Men who sexually harass women 4 Oscar!" she wrote. "Bc good acting performance matters more than humanity,human integrity!Bc poor kid rly needs the help!" She also shared a longer piece from her conversation with actor Peter Shinkoda in which she compared his "nod" to President Donald Trump's election victory.

For those who feared that the second season of Netflix’s Daredevil series wouldn’t equal the outstanding quality of the first year, then worry no more…Daredevil’s sophomore season is just as good as the first year, and much of that is due to the Punisher (Jon Bernthal), who steals the show. We review the season, but beware of spoilers.

With two seasons under its red belt, it has to be stated now that the Netflix Daredevil series is the finest super hero comic-based show ever produced. When the first year debuted, it was the single best season of any comic book to TV adaptation, but it was still too premature to call it the best comic book show ever. Now, after two years and 26 episodes, it has to be said…Daredevil is on a level above any other super hero show.

Marvel has managed to completely reinvigorate the superhero movie in a massive way. It all began with 2008’s Iron Man and then spread out to the rest of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, culminating in the release of 2012’s The Avengers. But since then, Marvel hasn’t been content to just focus on the big league superheroes.

Rather, with Phase Two, they’ve started to branch out a little bit more. Not only have there been wild card characters like the Guardians of the Galaxy but Marvel even expanded out into television with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Now comes the release of Daredevil, a Marvel-produced series airing exclusively on Netflix: a new move that promises to revolutionize the superhero genre yet again.

Daredevil is just the first of four planned series Marvel is making for Netflix, and will be followed by Aka Jessica Jones, then Luke Cage and finally Iron Fist...

"Marvel's Daredevil" is a live action series that follows the journey of attorney Matt Murdock, who in a tragic accident was blinded as a boy but imbued with extraordinary senses.

As if Matt Murdock didn’t have enough to deal with already (blindness, the evil Kingpin, endless legal paperwork), he’ll also have to deal with a phalanx of new bad guys in Marvel and Netflix’s new 13-episode Daredevil.Adding depth to Hell’s Kitchen's supporting characters are Rob Morgan, who'll play nickel-and-dime hood Turk Barrett, and Dexter's Matt Gerald, who steps into the shoes of machinist Melvin Potter. In the Marvelverse, Potter is a costumer-turned-supervillain called Gladiator. Although there’s no mention of that in Marvel’s press release, the “machinist" part may offer a clue.

Marvel and Netflix have announced 6 supporting actors coming to "Marvel's Daredevil," the all-new 13-episode series premiering on Netflix on April 10, including 2 who will play fan-favorite characters from the Daredevil comic series. From the comics, Rob Morgan (photo above) will play Turk Barrett, a small-time criminal in Hell's Kitchen, while Matt Gerald will play Melvin Potter, a machinist caught between a rock and a hard place. Siding with Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) are Peter Shinkoda as Nobu, a Japanese businessman with an agenda all his own; Wai Ching Ho as Madame Gao, a powerful woman running her own trade; and Nikolai Nikolaeff and Gideon Emery as Vladimir...

With less than a month to go before Netflix unveils all thirteen episodes of Marvel’s Daredevil, the specific details of the characters primed to go up against the titular hero continue to mount. Today, a sextet of new Marvel villains – set to throw a spanner in the works for poor Matt Murdock – have been unveiled.

While we know that Vincent D’Onofrio’s bald-headed baddie Wilson Fisk (aka Kingpin) will deliver the overarcing evil, there’s still plenty of room for more dastardly villains in the grimy back alleys and streets of Hell’s Kitchen. The six new characters include Person Of Interest star Rob Morgan, who will play Turk Barrett, a smalltime criminal in Hell’s Kitchen; and Dexter‘s Matt Gerald as Melvin Potter, a machinist caught between a rock and a hard place.

In addition, a new foursome has been announced in the shape of Fisk’s lackeys.

Marvel and Netflix's Daredevil has added Rob Morgan, Matt Gerald, Peter Shinkoda, Wai Ching Ho, Nikolai Nikolaeff and Gideon Emery to its cast. Out of that bunch, only two would appear to be playing established Marvel Comics characters: Rob Morgan (Person of Interest) will play small-time Hell's Kitchen criminal Turk Barret (aka Mauler), and Gerald (Avatar) will be taking on the role of Melvin Potter, also known as Gladiator, who starts out as an enemy of Matt Murdock's but later becomes an ally. On the show he'll be "a machinist caught between a rock and a hard place". The others are all playing characters on the side of Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin: Shinkoda (Falling Skies) is Nobu (a Japanese businessman with a mysterious agenda), Ho (Law And Order: Svu) will play Madame Gao (a powerful woman running her own trade), while Nikolaeff (Camp) and Emery (Grimm) will play Vladimir and Anatoly,...

Six further supporting cast members in Marvel and Netflix's "Daredevil" TV series have been revealed just a few weeks ahead of the show's debut on the streaming service on April 10th. The newcomers include:

Rob Morgan as Turk Barrett, a small time and not too bright crook who often crosses paths with Daredevil (Charlie Cox).

Matt Gerald as Melvin Potter, a machinist caught in a tricky situation. In the comics, he becomes the super villain Gladiator.

Peter Shinkoda as Nobu, a Japanese businessman who is an ally of the Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio) but has his own agenda.

Wai Ching Ho as Madame Gao, a powerful woman running her own trade.

and finally Nikolai Nikolaeff and Gideon Emery as two Russian brothers named Vladimir and Anatoly who have come to America to forge new lives.

Netflix’s “Daredevil” series added a handful of names to its cast on Wednesday. Rob Morgan (“Person of Interest”), Matt Gerald (“Avatar”), Peter Shinkoda (“Falling Skies”), Wai Ching Ho (“Law and Order: Special Victims Unit”), Nikolai Nikolaeff (“Camp”) and Gideon Emery (“Grimm”) have joined the upcoming 13-episode Marvel series, starring Charlie Cox as the blind lawyer Matt Murdock by day and the crime-fighting superhero Daredevil by night.

Morgan, who also appeared on Cinemax’s “The Knick” and NBC’s “Believe,” plays Turk Barrett, a smalltime Hell’s Kitchen criminal.

Marvel’s Daredevil is rounding out its cast with six supporting roles. From the comics, Rob Morgan (Person Of Interest, Believe) will play Turk Barrett, a small-time criminal in Hell's Kitchen, and Matt Gerald (Avatar, Dexter) will play Melvin Potter, a machinist caught between a rock and a hard place. Siding with Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) are Peter Shinkoda (Falling Skies, Hawaii Five-0) as Nobu, a Japanese businessman with an agenda all his own; Wai Ching Ho (Law…...

With Netflix and Marvel having completed production on the first season of Daredevil, it is just a countdown to the premiere where we can see if the small screen can accomodate the larger than life superhero. Leading up to the debut, we have now learned of six more characters included in the first thirteen episodes of the show. Deadline reports that the six new names are Rob Morgan, Matt Gerald, Peter Shinkoda, Wai Ching Ho, Nikolai Nikolaeff, and Gideon Emery. Fans of Daredevil will be...

Marvel Studios left their hordes of fans a bit disappointed after their Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con last weekend, not only because they didn’t talk about any upcoming Phase Three projects beyond Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy 2, but because they also didn’t turn any of the spotlight toward their upcoming Daredevil series on Netflix.

They did announce that the show will hit the streaming service in May 2015, but beyond that we got no plot details or images from the highly anticipated series. It is, however, currently filming in Brooklyn under the codename “Bluff,” giving impatient fans the opportunity to take matters into their own hands and snap a few photos from the set.

We unfortunately don’t have any shots of The Man Without Fear in costume (my guess is Marvel will release an official image before they risk that particular detail from leaking), but...

To close out San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel held one final panel devoted to the 75th anniversary of Marvel Comics and the 50th anniversary of Daredevil. Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada was on hand alongside writers Mark Waid and Dan Slott, and before long talked turned toward the upcoming Daredevil series on Netflix (which, to the chagrin of fans, did not have a presence during Marvel’s TV panel earlier in the week).

Quesada spoke briefly about how the series is currently filming in New York City, and revealed that it is expected to arrive in May 2015, the same month as a little Marvel film you may have heard of called Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Quesada didn’t talk in detail about the series, but did say that he was excited to see the Man Without Fear team up with the likes of Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage...

Our anticipation for next year’s Daredevil series, the first of multiple collaborations between Netflix and Marvel, has been steadily rising over the past few weeks as the show has filled out its main cast. Charlie Cox has been cast in the role of Matt Murdock, destined to become the titular vigilante; Vincent D’Onofrio will play Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin; Rosario Dawson is playing an unknown “absolutely critical” character; Deborah Ann Woll has been cast as love interest Karen Page; Elden Henson will portray Murdock’s best friend, Foggy Nelson; and Peter Shinkoda has come aboard as an original character named Hachiro. That’s an extremely talented crop of actors – but it’s only one reason we’re excited for the series.

Another major aspect of Daredevil that we’re psyched to see explored across the series is its grounded, grimy setting. We know that the plan is for...

Marvel has announced that “True Blood” star Deborah Ann Woll has landed the main female lead in Netflix’s upcoming “Daredevil” TV show, which will star Charlie Cox as the blind superhero by night, crusading lawyer by day. She joins the previously cast Vincent D’Onofrio as Daredevil’s main nemesis the Kingpin, with Rosario Dawson in an undisclosed role, Elden Henson as Matt Murdock’s lawyer buddy Foggy Nelson, and “Falling Skies’” Peter Shinkoda. In the “Daredevil” comic books, Page is Matt Murdock’s civilian girlfriend. With Woll playing Page, that still leaves Dd’s other main lady, Elektra, uncast. Or is she? You gotta figure it has to be Dawson, right? Otherwise they would have told us who she was playing already if it wasn’t the case. The 13-episode first season bows next year on the streaming channel.

Hot on the heels of word that Peter Shinkoda would be playing an original character named Hachiro in Netflix and Marvel’s upcoming TV series Daredevil, we’ve learned that another talented actor has joined the 13-episode series’ already impressive cast. Deborah Ann Woll, known to HBO subscribers for her role as vampire Jessica on the long-running True Blood, has signed on to portray Karen Page, a love interest for Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer by day who fights crime as the titular vigilante by night.

In the comics, Page was Murdock’s most enduring love interest, appearing in the very first issue of Daredevil back in April of 1964 as his secretary. The Netflix series has also cast Elden Henson as Murdock’s best friend and legal partner Foggy Nelson, who also had a romantic interest in Page throughout the comic-book series, but whether a love triangle will...
