Marvel teases Daredevil series on Netflix with new motion poster

Marvel's Daredevil - Street Scene Motion Poster

With the premiere of Marvel’s Daredevil series on Netflix in just a few weeks, both companies are revving up promotion for the show in various ways. One recent, intriguing example is a new “motion poster” — essentially, a brief video teaser — that gathers together the entire cast of the series in a stylized, active cityscape accompanied by some snippets of dialogue from the series.

Debuting on the streaming video service April 10, Daredevil stars Charlie Cox (Stardust) as blind lawyer Matt Murdock, who was granted superhuman senses at an early age in the same accident that took his sight. In order to keep his city safe from the evils he can’t stop in the courtroom, Murdock prowls the city as the costumed vigilante Daredevil — an activity that puts him on a collision course with local crime boss Wilson “Kingpin” Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio).

Daredevil will debut on Netflix as a 13-episode series, and will eventually be followed by three more 13-episode series focusing on Marvel characters Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. The heroes of the four series will then come together in The Defenders, a crossover miniseries that will also debut on the streaming video service.

Along with Cox and D’Onofrio, the series stars True Blood actress Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Murdock’s law-firm partner Foggy Nelson, Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple, Bob Gunton as Leland “The Owl” Owlsely, Vondie Curtis Hall as Ben Urich, Toby Leonard Moore as Wilson Fisk’s henchman, and Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk.

Marvel Studios finally announces its Fantastic Four cast

The cast of "The Fantastic Four."

It's been almost a decade since the last cinematic reboot of the Fantastic Four, and now Marvel Studios has announced which performers will be taking the four pivotal roles in the upcoming film based on the team of superheroes. Marvel dropped the news on Valentine's Day with a piece of artwork that revealed Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn as the Fantastic Four.

Pascal is best known for starring in both The Mandalorian and The Last of Us, as well as for his memorable role as Prince Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones season 4. He will portray Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic Four. Kirby will co-star as the Invisible Woman, Susan Storm, but it's unclear if Reed and Sue will be married in this incarnation. Kirby's previous credits include the last two Mission: Impossible films, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, and Jupiter Ascending.

Like Netflix’s hit series One Day? Then watch these three great rom-coms shows right now

A man writes down something for a girl in One Day.

There's nothing quite as satisfying as a soapy, melodramatic romantic comedy. The bad ones are often still supremely watchable, and plenty of rom-coms prove to be much better than just plain bad. If you've been watching One Day on Netflix, you should know that it's far from the only series to steal the rom-com formula that works so well at the movies.

We've selected some other great TV rom-coms that prove as good reminders that love is real, and for all of its many difficulties, falling in love with someone can be pretty great. And, because these are TV shows and not movies, many of these rom-coms allow for more than just a single complication to develop between their central characters.

This obscure Liam Neeson vs. James Bond movie is a new Netflix hit. Here’s why you should watch it

Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson in Seraphim Falls.

If you've never heard of the Western Seraphim Falls, then you're not alone. The film barely had a limited theatrical release in 2006 before it spent the better part of two decades in cinematic purgatory. Or at least that was true before Netflix added it to its film library. Now, all of a sudden, Seraphim Falls is one of the most popular movies on Netflix.

By itself, that's not too surprising. Liam Neeson has proven to be very popular with Netflix subscribers, and another one of his lesser-known movies, Made In Italy, is also currently in Netflix's top 10 movie list. But if you're trying to decide whether this particular Western will appeal to you, we're sharing three reasons why you should watch Neeson's Seraphim Falls on Netflix.
