Voice actor Troy Baker said in a recent interview that he wants to do a Daredevil game in the future. He has expressed interest in playing Daredevil in the past, and now he's doubling down on it.
Known as "The Man Without Fear," Daredevil is a blind hero from Hell's Kitchen. He debuted in Marvel Comics in 1964, and has since appeared in multiple media, including a Netflix series and the Marvel series She-Hulk. However, Daredevil starred in many solo video games, and the Daredevil: The Man Without Fear game was canceled.
Many Marvel fans have been waiting years for a proper Daredevil game, especially after the Netflix series' success. But no one is as excited as Troy Baker as he noted during his recent Milan Games Week & Cartoomics 2022 panel that he's a huge fan of Daredevil. He talked about meeting Charlie Cox, who plays the hero in both the Marvel Netflix universe and the MCU, and how his performance as Daredevil left a lasting impression on the voice actor. Baker expressed that, if given the chance, he would want to play Matt Murdock in a game, or direct the game himself.
Baker added that one of the things that drew him to Daredevil was the fact that he could fight despite his visual impairment. He said he's intrigued by the possibility of working on a game, and possibly playing someone who's blind, noting that "it would be a big challenge."
Baker has had a prolific career as a voice actor. He's well-known for his work as Joel Miller in The Last of Us, Pagan Min in Far Cry 4, and Higgs in Death Stranding. He has also voiced comic book characters in various media, which include Batman, Robin, and The Joker. So, portraying Daredevil in a future video game wouldn't be a farfetched idea.
While there's no solo Daredevil game in development right now that we know of, Marvel does have a lot of video game content on the way. One of its hottest games right now is Marvel Snap, and the turn-based RPG Midnight Suns is about to come out in December. Meanwhile, Marvel and EA also agreed to produce three games, including an Iron Man game and a rumored open-world Black Panther game.
