If you are a fan of Marvel’s Daredevil, you must be eagerly waiting for the upcoming Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again, which will continue the story of Matt Murdock and his nemesis Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin. The series is based on the acclaimed comic book storyline by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, which depicts Daredevil’s fall and rise after Kingpin learns his secret identity and destroys his life.
The series was announced in 2023, shortly after Charlie Cox reprised his role as Daredevil in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Vincent D’Onofrio returned as Kingpin in Hawkeye. The series is set to have 18 episodes, despite being billed as a miniseries, and will feature other characters from the Netflix Daredevil show, such as Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page and Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson.
However, the production of Daredevil: Born Again has faced some challenges and delays due to the Hollywood strikes that affected the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) in 2023. The strikes caused the suspension of many film and TV projects, including Daredevil: Born Again, which had to undergo a creative overhaul with new writers and directors.
The good news is that Daredevil: Born Again is finally resuming production in the coming days, according to Vincent D’Onofrio, who spoke with ComicBook.com. He revealed that the series will be filming in New York City, in various locations such as Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Chelsea. He also expressed his excitement for the new creative team and the changes they have made to the story.
“We’re days away from restarting Daredevil, so that’s that’s we’re about to plunge into a lot of work,” D’Onofrio said. “We’re shooting in New York, in the studio and on locations here. Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Chelsea. Stuff like that.”
“I feel like I am excited, like when you’re about to start a new job that you know is going to be tons of work,” D’Onofrio added. “You know, so you’re like, super excited, and like, ‘Oh here we go. Here we go.'”
While there are no details as to what the creative changes may entail, D’Onofrio has praised Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige for sticking by him and Cox amid the turmoil. He also hinted that Kingpin’s next move will be something unexpected and surprising for the fans.
“I thanked Kevin Feige for sticking by us,” D’Onofrio told ComicBook.com. “He stuck by us through this whole thing. And he’s been great about it. And I think he’s really happy with what we’re doing now.”
“I can’t tell you what it is because it would ruin it for everybody,” D’Onofrio said about Kingpin’s plan. “But it’s something that I don’t think anybody would guess. It’s just really cool.”
Daredevil: Born Again does not have a release date yet, but it is expected to premiere on Disney+ sometime in 2024 or 2025. It will be part of Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Daredevil: Born Again is one of the most anticipated Marvel projects for many fans who have followed the character since his debut on Netflix in 2015. The series promises to deliver a faithful adaptation of one of the best comic book stories ever written, with a stellar cast and a fresh vision. We can’t wait to see Daredevil rise again from the ashes.
Daredevil: Born Again Set to Bridge Netflix Series with MCU
In an exciting development for Marvel fans, the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series is poised to establish a direct connection with the original Daredevil TV show that aired on Netflix. The creative team, including actor Vincent D’Onofrio, who portrays Kingpin, has expressed enthusiasm about integrating the history of the original three seasons into the new storyline.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, D’Onofrio provided a positive update on the direction of Daredevil: Born Again. He revealed that during the creative restart, the team made a conscious decision to link the new series directly to the original Daredevil TV show, bringing in the rich narrative and collateral stories from the initial three seasons.
“During our restart of all the creative on Daredevil: Born Again, all the creatives got together and said, ‘Look, this is how we’ve got to do it now.’ So we are for sure only speaking about it in terms of being directly connected to the original Daredevil, and that’s a great thing,” D’Onofrio stated.
This commitment to continuity is a promising sign for fans who have been eager to see a more cohesive Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that acknowledges the contributions of the Marvel-Netflix properties. The recent release of the Echo TV show on Disney+ has already hinted at a potential integration of Netflix’s Daredevil into the MCU timeline, adding further excitement to the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series.
Despite Daredevil’s cancellation in 2018, the Netflix series remains highly regarded, and the inclusion of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil in the MCU era through Daredevil: Born Again is a significant development. The show’s connection to the original Daredevil, coupled with D’Onofrio’s positive remarks, suggests a creative overhaul that aims to capitalize on the strengths of Marvel TV.
As the MCU embarks on a new phase, Daredevil: Born Again is poised to incorporate characters from the Marvel-Netflix shows, with Jon Bernthal reprising his role as The Punisher. Fans can anticipate potential appearances from prior cast members, adding layers to the interconnected Marvel universe.
While awaiting updates on Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel enthusiasts can revisit every season of Daredevil on Disney+. The series’ newfound place in the MCU timeline signals a willingness from Marvel Studios to embrace the legacy of the Marvel-Netflix properties and weave them into the larger narrative.
In conclusion, Daredevil: Born Again appears set to be a bridge between the beloved Netflix series and the broader MCU, promising an engaging storyline enriched by the history of the original Daredevil TV show. Marvel fans can look forward to more updates on this exciting project in the near future.
