"'Daredevil' was an interesting story. It was before Kevin Feige had stepped into the role of running Marvel," the actor said.

As Ben Affleck points out, the thing that really separated superhero movies before the MCU and after wasn’t the continuity of storyline, but the continuity of tone. Because every superhero movie was made in a vacuum, the characters, visuals and everything else often didn’t feel like they belonged in the same universe.

After Affleck’s take on the Marvel hero, Netflix adapted the comic book about a blind lawyer turned crime fighter into a TV show. The series ran for three seasons from 2015-2018. The show was then rebooted in March into “Daredevil: Born Again,” which is housed on Disney+.
