The Daredevil films in order

To date, there are three Daredevil movies. The Daredevil movies – which were produced between 1989 and 2005 – include:

• The Trial of the Incredible Hulk (1989)
• Daredevil (2003)
• Elektra (2005)

_____

Are all of the Dardevil movies part of the same series?

The Daredevil films breakdown as follows:

• Trial of the Incredible Hulk is a TV movie and is connected to the extremely popular Incredible Hulk television series of the late 1970s/early 1980s. Daredevil appears in the film as a supporting character.
• Daredevil and Elektra are big screen adventures which are loosely connected to each other. Elektra was conceived as a spin-off from Daredevil*, with Jennifer Garner appearing in the role of Elektra Natchios in both movies.

*It’s important to note that Matt Murdock/Daredevil does not appear in the Elektra movie. Actor Ben Affleck filmed a small cameo for the picture, reprising the role of Matt Murdock, but his scene was cut from the film.

I have included Elektra in this post, simply because the film acts as a continuation of 2003’s Daredevil. It is classed as being part of the Daredevil movie series.
