There's a change at the top of Marvel's upcoming Netflix Daredevil series.

Drew Goddard will hand over showrunning duties to Steven S. DeKnight, who is finalizing a deal to board the series, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Buffy and Lost alum Goddard will segue to writing and directing Sony's Spider-Man spinoff Sinister Six, which will focus on the villains from that universe. He'll remain with Daredevil and serve as a consultant on the drama.

Marvel could not be reached for comment.

For his part, DeKnight served as showrunner on three seasons of Starz's Spartacus,and wrapped the series in 2013. His credits include working with Goddard on Joss Whedon's Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer well as Whedon's Dollhouse and The CW's Smallville. He's repped by CAA.

For its part, Marvel expanded its relationship with ABC, adding Captain America spinoff Agent Carter as a bridge series between the fall and spring runs of the sophomore season of Agents of SHIELD.

Im not too big on Steve DeKnight. He wrote some dookie episodes of Smallville during his run :sadcam:

If you want pulp and camp he's your man but an authentic street level type presentation from Daredevil? I have doubts:shaq2:

Yeah that's why I said if you like pulpy sorta ott stuff with aware camp like Spartacus, he's your man. I'm just worried hes going to make the show into a bad Frank Miller parody which at this point Miller can do himself.
