AceShowbiz - Daredevil, the man "we've been waiting for," takes the center stage in a new promo for the second season of the Marvel-Netflix series. In the short clip, the titular hero stands tall with his back facing the camera.
Images of famous landmarks around the world, such as Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and Taj Mahal in India, are seen as reflections on his back. "I'm just trying to make my city a better place," he says in voiceover, before he turns his head to show his face.
Across the globe, the streets just got safer. #Daredevil #NetflixEverywhere
