Daredevil: Born Again: Release date, cast and everything we know

After Charlie Cox’s surprise return as Daredevil in Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans clamored for more. His cameo in Hawkeye, followed by his role in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, hinted at a revival. Now, a new series, “Daredevil: Born Again,” is set to debut, featuring 18 episodes despite being billed as a miniseries. Kingpin returns as the primary villain after his reappearance in Echo. Though fans hope for the return of the Defenders, nothing is confirmed yet. In this article, we discuss about Daredevil: Born Again release date, cast, plot and more.

Daredevil: Born Again: Release date

The new show is still in development, and all details haven’t been revealed. It will exclusively stream on Disney+, like other Marvel content. “Daredevil: Born Again,” originally set for a Spring 2024 release, is now delayed indefinitely due to WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Daredevil: Born Again: Cast and Crew

The cast for “Daredevil: Born Again” is shaping up with Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Michael Gandolfini confirmed. Margarita Levieva, Sandrine Holt, Lou Taylor Pucci, and Nikki M. James are also on board. Arty Froushan joins as Harry, a main character. Excitingly, Jon Bernthal returns as The Punisher, alongside Wilson Bethel as Bullseye. Nikki M. James plays Kirsten McDuffie, and Ayelet Zurer reprises her role as Vanessa Mariana. Stay tuned for more updates from Marvel Studios.

Born Again: Director

“Daredevil: Born Again” underwent significant changes in its creative team. Originally helmed by Matt Corman and Chris Ord, known for “Covert Affairs,” they transitioned to executive producer roles after the series’ overhaul. Marvel appointed Dario Scardapane (“The Punisher”) as showrunner, a first for Disney+ Marvel shows. Directing duties were handed to Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, who previously worked on Marvel’s “Moon Knight” and “Loki” Season 2.

Is ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ a Reboot or a Continuation?

It should not be considered that the events of the previous canons are still occurring in this reality because the program is most definitely a reboot. Since Matt Murdock has assumed the role of Daredevil, Charlie Cox has clarified that this is Season 1 rather than Season 4, and he has also hinted that certain parts of the character might be changed or even revisited.

“We potentially get to tell some of the stories over and over again. In the same way that they do in the comics you know every now and again, they stop back at the beginning of Murdock’s journey as a little boy and they tell the whole origin story again. So maybe we’ll get to do that. I don’t know.”

Again, this was before the show’s rewrite so it’s possible that things have changed. We’ll have to see how much of the original show’s DNA carries over into Born Again.
