Jeph Loeb Talks Daredevil And Agents Of SHIELD Being Linked
Marvel’s Jeph Loeb has broken his silence and in an interview with IGN explained just how the Netflix exclusive series, Daredevil is connected to ABCs Agents of SHIELD. Loeb explained how an image revealed by the official Daredevil Twitter connected the two shows and put fan speculation to bed all in one go!
In February the image below of a poster for a boxing match saw Daredevil’s father, ‘Battlin Jack Murdock‘ in a fight with ‘Carl Crusher Creel‘, Creel happens to also be the name of Marvel’s Absorbing Man, a villain who has appeared in Agents of SHIELD.
Loeb explained “If you look at it, there’s actually a very critical line, which is, ‘Battlin’ Jack is doing very well against amuch[sic] younger fighter.’ So the idea is, we looked at it from the point of view of, Mike Tyson was the heavyweight champion when he was 18 years old. [Brian Patrick Wade], who plays him in the show, looks like he’s in his mid-30s, so there was enough time for us to be able to say, ‘There’s no reason why that isn’t the same person.”
Loeb went on further to say that ‘#ItsAllConnected!’
Daredevil is available on Netflix from April 10th!
