I’m still really excited about the upcoming Daredevil series on Netflix, even though Charlie Cox doesn’t look right to me and I still can’t get over Ryan Kwanten not getting the role. Anyways, The cast has been drawing some big names like Rosario Dawson and Vincent D’Onofrio. Now, Marvel has just announced that character actor, Scott Glenn has joined the cast as Stick, the blind man who taught Matt Murdock how to harness his abilities and fight. Check out the release below.
Marvel and Netflix are proud to announce that acclaimed actor Scott Glenn has joined “Marvel’s Daredevil,” an all-new 13-episode series premiering on Netflix in 2015.
