The 20th Century Studios Daredevil series was an American multimedia series by 20th Century Studios that was spearheaded by films with characters related to the Marvel Comics character Daredevil. It also included comics and music.

Purchase of Daredevil film rights

In 1996, Marvel Enterprises went bankrupt. To save the company, the film rights to its most popular characters were sold to various film studios at relatively low prices. The rights to produce X-Men films, as well as films based on characters related to Daredevil, were purchased by 20th Century Fox.

Discontinuation

It was discontinued in 2005 after the commercial failure of the Elektra film.

After years of disuse, the film rights for Daredevil and characters related to the franchise returned to Marvel.

Legacy

Some of the actors in the 20th Century Studios Daredevil series have appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
