History Trivia / Daredevil2015

* RevivalByCommercialization: While "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangding_Qingge Kangding Qingge]]" is by no means obscure in China, this show probably helped popularize it among Western audiences.[[note]]It's the song Madame Gao's runner is singing in the taxi right before he gets shot[[/note]]

* ThrowItIn: A rather amusing case: During the graveyard scene between Matt and Frank in "Penny and Dime", one of the most notable aspects is that you can ''see Matt crying'' at Frank's story. The popular story is that Charlie Cox indeed starting crying on set despite it not being in the script, and it worked so well that it was left in the script. The truth is...less glamorous. Charlie was actually ''sweating his ass off'' in the suit[[note]]In general, the suit is a sweatbox. This is very apparent in season 2 scenes where Matt removes his helmet, and his hair is visibly caked in sweat. Similarly, in season 3, Dex's hair is drenched in sweat when he takes his helmet off.[[/note]] and the sweat beads on his face looked like tears, which indeed were decided to work with the scene, and were left in.

** Leland Owlsley was originally going to be played by Peter Gerety, and in fact, the flashback scene where Silke (Gerety) and Roscoe Sweeney appear at Fogwell's to coerce Jack into throwing the match with Creel was filmed with Silke being called Owlsley. Shortly after the scene was filmed, though, Gerety had to drop out due to a knee injury, so the role of Owlsley was recast with Bob Gunton, and some dialogue was re-dubbed to allow Gerety's character to be renamed Silke.

** Creator/DeborahAnnWoll and Creator/VincentDOnofrio consider the scene in season 3 [[AloneWithThePsycho Karen visits Fisk in his penthouse]] to be among their favorite scenes to shoot..

* StuntDouble: Chris Brewster doubled for Creator/CharlieCox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil. Aidan Kennedy and Devin Sanchez doubled for Skylar Gaertner as a young Matt.

** Toby Leonard Moore described James Wesley as an "interesting character to play, because in one moment he can be incredibly charming, and in the next, dastardly as all hell, manipulative and Machiavellian, but always loyal to Wilson Fisk.

** Deborah Ann Woll and Vincent D'Onofrio consider the season 3 scene where [[AloneWithThePsycho Karen visits Fisk in his penthouse]] to be among their favorite moments to film.

** Sorta. The show was filmed in New York City, where it's set. However, the real Hell's Kitchen has regentrified significantly, whereas the events of ''The Avengers'' are said to have driven down property values in MCU Hell's Kitchen. Thus, the show was filmed in portions of Brooklyn neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Greenpoint that somewhat resemble 1990s Hell's Kitchen.

* ChannelHop: In a way. The series was produced by Marvel Television, with Netflix paying to act as the distributor. After the series was cancelled, Netflix still held the distribution rights until early 2022, at which point the entire Defenders saga was pulled from Netflix and placed onto Disney Plus.

** Brits-playing-Americans is something that runs in the Murdock genes, given London-native Creator/CharlieCox plays Matt while Lancashire-born Joanne Whalley plays his mother in season 3.
** British Pakistani Jay Ali as Indian-American (of Bihari origin) Rahul "Ray" Nadeem.
** Australian Toby Leonard Moore as James Wesley.

** A variant with Foggy's brother Theo in season 3. The Nelsons are an Irish-American family, and Peter Halpin is native Irish.

** Woll has talked about how she worked with Oleson to make Karen's past something difficult for her to endure and one that avoids the misogynistic and sexualized violence that Karen suffers from in the comics, especially the "Born Again" arc, which is reportedly an arc that Woll is not a fan of despite being one of the more iconic comics stories.[[note]]She actually got a promise from the creative team before even taking the role that Karen wouldn't be selling out Matt's identity for a heroin fix.[[/note]] In one interview on the marketing circuit for ''The Punisher'' shortly before she began filming for ''Daredevil'' season 3, she said, "if we ever do delve into Karen's past, please don't make it that she shot someone while saving a busload of children. You know? I wanted to encourage him to make this difficult, make it something hard for her to get over, and so we can hopefully pull off something pretty interesting. I like the idea of compromising the character in some way, but I just don't know that it has to be sexual, or that it has to be in a way that causes her to lose her strength."
