He was originally attached as the showrunner on Marvel and Netflix’s Daredevil series when it was in early development, but left to develop the Sinister Six feature for the Amazing Spider-Man franchise.
That project then wound up going nowhere thanks to the disappointment that was Amazing Spider-Man 2, and the web-slinger made his way over to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Needless to say, we have our fingers very tightly crossed that he’ll find luck in the X-Men universe and will get X-Force made.
Goddard has kept busy with some amazing work since The Cabin In The Woods, including being a producer on the brilliant TV series The Good Place and earning an Academy Award nomination for writing The Martian, but it’s also noteworthy he’s had some bad luck with superhero properties.
