Charlie Cox’s Daredevil is set to return in “Daredevil: Born Again,” marking his first solo venture in the MCU since his reintroduction. Here’s a breakdown of what we’ve gathered about the upcoming Disney+ series, covering its release date, cast, plot, and more.
Charlie Cox’s Journey
Charlie Cox initially portrayed Daredevil in the Netflix series, which premiered almost a decade ago in 2015. He reprised the role in subsequent seasons and also appeared in the crossover series, The Defenders.
Revival and Reintroduction
Following Netflix’s cancellation of the Daredevil series in 2018, there were uncertainties regarding Cox’s future in the MCU. However, his cameo as Matt Murdock in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and subsequent appearance in “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” paved the way for his return in “Daredevil: Born Again.”
Release Date
Initially slated for a Spring 2024 release, “Daredevil: Born Again” faced setbacks after Marvel Studios replaced its head writers, Matt Corman and Chris Ord, in 2023. The 2023 WGA strike further delayed production. However, according to Vincent D’Onofrio, the show is back on track as of January 2024.
Cast and Crew
Returning alongside Cox as Daredevil is Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. The ensemble cast also includes Jon Bernthal, Michael Gandolfini, Sandrine Holt, Elden Henson, Deborah Ann Woll, Wilson Bethel, Margarita Levieva, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, and more.
No Trailer Yet
Despite fans’ anticipation, Marvel Studios and Disney+ have yet to release a trailer for “Daredevil: Born Again.” Delays in production suggest that viewers may have to wait a while longer for a sneak peek.
Plot Speculations
While an official plot synopsis is unavailable, speculation suggests that the series may draw inspiration from the 80s comic storyline of the same name. The arc could explore Kingpin’s mayoral campaign and introduce new villains like Muse and White Tiger.
Season 1 and Beyond
“Daredevil: Born Again” is expected to set the stage for a larger narrative spanning multiple seasons, promising significant payoffs for fans invested in Matt Murdock’s journey from Netflix’s Daredevil to his recent appearances in the MCU.
As production progresses, more details about “Daredevil: Born Again” are likely to surface, keeping fans eagerly awaiting its premiere on Disney+.
