Charlie Cox is Daredevil.
Only know him as the main guy in Matthew Vaughn's Stardust, but apparently he was also in quite a bit of some Boardwalk Empire seasons I haven't seen.
I think the name I heard most people pulling for was Michael C. Hall, but I doubt he would've done this. I could've just as easily seen Liam McIntyre getting the job since his Spartacus showrunner took over for Goddard.
Either way, still a long ways away. Hope it's good, since I'll be dedicating at least a couple of days to watching this once it goes live!
