00:00Congratulations, an epic first season.
00:02Thank you so much.
00:03What was your, what was the fan reaction for you to the first season and what was it like kind of season?
00:08Yeah, it's been amazing, man. It's been so much, it's so much more love and excitement than I anticipated.
00:14It's been really overwhelming actually.
00:16You know, it's tough, it's a hard thing to do to come back after ten years, six years, whatever it was.
00:22And also, you know, we'd had, you know, we'd set a high bar, which was, you know, which is lucky for us, but it also meant that, you know, we had a lot to live up to.
00:34But no, the reaction has been overwhelming and as a result, here we are again getting ready for season two, you know.
00:41And do you feel like you really did capture the magic of the original and how do you hope to continue to do that in this next season?
00:48Yeah, I think so. I think, you know, we tried to, we tried to, you know, to have all the ingredients that we knew kind of worked for this character and worked in the previous show.
00:57We also wanted to mix things up a bit and obviously there's a very sad death at the beginning of season one, which, which has rightfully angered a lot of fans.
01:08You know, Elden Foggy will be sorely missed, but I think if you're coming back after a few years, you do have to kind of like, in a show like ours,
01:17you do have to let the audiences know that no one's safe, you know, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a scary world.
01:22It's a dangerous world and you can't get too comfortable. And if you do, it kind of is in detriment to the show.
01:29So those are the, that's, that's kind of what happens sadly.
01:32Well, I know Marvel is of course known for their crossovers. Can we expect any fun cameos this season?
01:39Yeah. Yeah.
01:41Wow. Okay. An easy, an easy answer there. What about Avengers Doomsday? Any chance we could see you there?
01:46Not me. I'm excited to see it, but I'm, I'm not, I'm not involved in that. Yeah.
01:51And what are you most excited to see? What fans to see, whether it's in this particular episode or overall with this season, what are you excited for fans to see?
02:00There's a, there's some, the way the last two episodes are crafted. The story that Dario is, our writer is telling in those last two episodes, I think is really cool and potentially kind of daredevil iconic. I'm really excited about that. Yeah.
