The much-anticipated series Daredevil: Born Again is set to premiere on Disney+ on March 4, 2025. This revival brings back Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, seamlessly integrating these characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The series begins five years after the events of the original show, with Matt Murdock, Foggy Nelson and Karen Page rebuilding their law firm. However, new challenges arise, including Fisk's political ambitions in New York and the emergence of new villains such as White Tiger and the Muse.
In addition to Cox and D'Onofrio, the cast includes Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, and Jon Bernthal reprising his role as Frank Castle/The Punisher. New cast members include Margarita Levieva, Michael Gandolfini, and Nikki M. James, whose roles have not yet been revealed.
The series underwent a significant overhaul in late 2023 after initial footage failed to live up to expectations. Dario Scardapane, best known for his work on The Punisher, was brought on as the new showrunner to helm the 18-episode series to ensure it lived up to the MCU's storytelling standards.
The first trailer, which will be released on January 15, 2025, shows a tense encounter between Murdock and Fisk at a New York City diner, highlighting the complex dynamic between the two characters. The trailer also features glimpses of intense action sequences, hinting at the series' darker and more mature tone.
Daredevil: Born Again will delve deeper into Matt Murdock's dual life as a lawyer and vigilante, exploring the moral complexities and challenges he faces in balancing both identities. The series aims to maintain the gritty and intense nature of the original while expanding its scope within the MCU.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Daredevil, hoping for a series that honors its roots while introducing new elements and characters that enrich the narrative. With its premiere, viewers can expect a fascinating continuation of Matt Murdock's journey.
