Scott Glenn Joins 'Daredevil' as Stick; James D'Arcy is Jarvis on 'Agent Carter'

One of the most impressive things Marvel has been able to accomplish is attracting some pretty big names to be part of their cinematic universe. That wasn't the case when they started as the focus was on building up talents, and in some ways that idea has remained. But we've also seen screen veterans like Robert Redford, Glenn Close, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Douglas, and John C. Reilly unexpectedly come aboard, and that is now extending to the small screen with two new additions to Daredevil and Agents Carter.

First up, Scott Glenn, seen most recently on HBO's The Leftovers, has been perfectly cast as Stick in Netflix's 13-episode Daredevil series. Stick is the martial arts master who trained Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Elektra, and his presence all but guarantees she'll be part of the show in some way. As of now her role has not been cast, although some think it could be played by Rosario Dawson. Terrence Stamp did an admirable job portraying Stick in the 2005 Elektra movie. Glenn is a tough-as-nails actor (see him in The Hunt for Red October, the 'Bourne' movies, and Sucker Punch) and perfect for the role of Stick. Probably the best casting move for the show yet. Glenn joins a cast that includes Deborah Ann Woll, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Elden Henson.

We've seen plenty of crossover between Marvel's movie and TV worlds and now there's going to be one more. James D'Arcy (Hitchcock, W.E.) is set to play Howard Stark's butler Edwin Jarvis in Marvel's upcoming Agent Carter series. If the last name Jarvis sounds familiar it's because JARVIS  is also the name of Tony Stark's artificial intelligence in the Iron Man movies (voiced by Paul Bettany), which was named after Edwin Jarvis. Oh, it's all so circular! In the comics, Jarvis is one of the few constants of the ever-evolving Avengers team. D'Arcy will be a regular character in the series, joining Hayley Atwell, Chad Michael Murray, and Enver Gjokaj in exploring the origins of SHIELD.
