How did the idea to do this iteration in a stairwell come about?
It was scripted that way.
What was different about putting this scene together compared to the season 1 fight?
We had to move the camera in a different way and pass it off to different people.
This season, we werent on a set.
It was tricky, to say the least.
[Laughs]
Tell me about the camera placement.
What was it like figuring that out?
Its a very tight space.
Why not show how tired he is, even if thisisa different story?
How long did it take to properly film the entire scene?
If I tell you that, it kind of gives away the secret!
We spent an entire day going through it.
Do you know what the total body count is?
So basically, the stuntmen were getting knocked down and then running downstairs to confront Daredevil again?
Yeah, pretty much.
How did you differ in your approach to all three?
The Punisher, hes tactically trained.
Theres a different pop in of efficiency to it.
Hes not afraid to put people down, so you see that training in there.
Shes not afraid to kill and has killed.
She fights the urge every now and then, but sometimes she cuts loose with it.
Shes constantly crossing between those two worlds.
What are you most excited for fans to see?
Theres a sequence you see in the trailer where Daredevil dives for the first time.
Daredevilseason 2 is streaming on Netflix.
