Joss Whedon has suggested he might have been mistaken when he pushed for Marvel Studios to make Daredevil as a film.

The Avengers director has revealed that he tried to convince Marvel that Matt Murdock should lead a movie, before the company teamed up with Netflix for their new show.

"I fought for Daredevil to be a film instead of a TV show," Whedon told IGN.

"Then under the auspices of Drew Goddard and Steve DeKnight... I'm dying to see the show but they released it just as I started the press tour."

Conceding that he might have made the wrong call, he added: "If the show's working, the show's working. Comic books are serialised entertainment and a lot of them lend themselves to TV shows as much or more than they do to movies."



Whedon added that Frank Miller had turned Daredevil into the Batman of the Marvel Universe in the '80s.

The first season of the Charlie Cox-starring Daredevil arrived on Netflix last month. Whedon's Avengers: Age of Ultron is currently showing in cinemas.
