“The Hunger Games’” Elden Henson has joined Netflix’s new Marvel series “Daredevil.”

Ok, I was trying to figure out who the heck this guy is from the Hunger Games, then I look up his IMDB to discover he's in the two that aren't out yet.

“True Blood” star Deborah Ann Woll is trading supernaturals for superheroes and has been cast as the female lead in “Daredevil.”
Woll will play Karen Page, the love interest to blind crimefighter Daredevil himself Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) in the 13-episode series. Vincent D’Onofrio, Rosario Dawson, Elden Henson and Peter Shinkoda are also series regulars.
The show, which is based on the Marvel comics, comes from Marvel and ABC Studios. Steven S. DeKnight is the showrunner, having replaced “Lost” alum Drew Goddard. Both will serve as exec producers, with Goddard serving as consulting producer.
The role may have a special connection to Woll, as her real-life boyfriend EJ Scott is losing his sight due to choroideremia and the two publicly campaign to fight the rare genetic disorder.
Woll is repped by CAA.

The guy who's with her is going blind?
That sounds like the ironic finish to a Twilight Zone episode.

What was the original title of this thread?
I could've sworn that some of the predictions and speculations were made before it read as it does now.
Either that or I've become shamefully unobservant in my old age!

Original title: 'Marvel Preps 60-Episode Package Of Four Series & A Mini For VOD & Cable'
And then a month later it was announced what the shows were.

When I returned to the thread quite recently I saw that character names WERE included in the thread title and wondered whether I'd simply misremembered. Hence my question.
I'd not intended to come across as either vague or contentious in asking.
Anyhoo, thanks for clarifying.
