Re: How much does Matt weigh?

[(Anonymous)]

Marvel says DD is 6' and 200lbs. For anyone who draws and is familiar with anatomical proportions, the Chris Samnee version of DD is drawn a little taller, closer to 6'2" actually, and maybe a smidge over 200 lbs. Really long bones on him, but also slightly underweight for his height. That DD is a big, powerful dude.

Charlie Cox, otoh, doesn't have anywhere near the same bone structure. Shorter, more narrow ribcage, much lighter bones than comics Matt, but Charlie has more defined muscle. The show has done a really nice job of making me believe Matt can throw a mean punch, but to get the most out of that light frame, they were super smart to incorporate the parkour. I'm not sure I'd have believe Charlie capable of comics!Matt-level physicality, otherwise.
