Marvel certainly hopes you've forgotten all about Ben Affleck's Daredevil — but if the 2003 Hollywood blockbuster turned you against the popular superhero, maybe this new trailer for the upcoming Daredevil TV series will change your mind.

We'll see if Daredevil can measure up to his big-screen counterparts when the first season premieres on Netflix on April 10.
