Netflix has unveiled the first full trailer for its original series Daredevil.
British actor Charlie Cox plays superhero Matt Murdock in a clip also featuring True Blood’s Deborah Ann Woll and Sin City’s Rosario Dawson.
The dark-looking tale is one of four Marvel-based series that are to air on Netflix.
Entertainment Weekly reported that the show would feel like a crime story, not a superhero show.
Showrunner Steven S DeKnight said: “We really wanted to take our cue from [films like] The French Connection, Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver, and make it very, very grounded, very gritty, very real. We always say we would rather lean toward The Wire than what’s considered a classic superhero television show.”
Marvel’s TV head Jeph Loeb added: “There aren’t going to be people flying through the sky. There are no magic hammers.”
Daredevil will launch in the US on 10 April 10.
