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."

There is a possibility of a Marvel crossover, with Loeb stating: "It does take place in the Marvel cinematic universe. It's all connected. But that doesn't necessarily mean that we would look up in the sky and see Iron Man. It's just a different part of New York that we have not yet seen in the Marvel movies."

"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. "That's the love story you're following, the one you're invested in, and seeing how that affects him and changes him. I think Vincent D'Onofrio just brings such depth to it, his performance is just astounding."

This is part of Marvel's plans to expand its universe to television with shows on Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. Marvel is producing these shows with ABC for Netflix. Each series will culminate in a mini-series event that will eventually lead to the lead to teaming up of the heroes as The Defenders.
