'Boardwalk Empire's Charlie Cox is starring as blind lawyer Matt Murdock, who takes on the alter ego Daredevil to fight crime, reported Entertainment Weekly.
Marvel's Jeph Loeb said, "Within the Marvel universe there are thousands of heroes of all shapes and sizes but The Avengers are here to save the universe and Daredevil is here to save the neighbourhood.
"It's a very unique look at Hell's Kitchen in New York, where Matt Murdock grew up and continues to defend it from people who would harm the people that live there."
Details of who is to be the show's main villain also emerged, with Wilson Fisk - also known as Kingpin - taking the role of the antagonist.
"Fisk has very many different aspects so it's not all, 'I want to conquer the city and make a lot of money'. In our story, we tell the story of how he met his wife Vanessa and how they fell in love - our antagonist actually has a love story," Loeb added.
The 13-part series will air on Netflix in May.
