Scardapane acknowledged that at its peak, the earlier show was outstanding, a view shared by many who consider “Daredevil” to be one of the best superhero TV series ever made.

Dario Scardapane significantly distinguishes Born Again from the rest of Marvel’s Netflix series by focusing on pacing.

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Is a “New York Crime Story”

The highly anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe/Disney+ series, “Daredevil: Born Again,” is set to debut on March 4. The latest trailer has unveiled the formidable adversaries, both familiar and unfamiliar, that Matt Murdock will face in this new installment. Despite staying faithful to the original series, as stated by Dario Scardapane, the upcoming “Born Again” is taking a fresh thematic approach compared to the initial “Daredevil.

According to Scardapane, the upcoming series draws inspiration from some renowned ’90s mafia films and television series, notably, the iconic “The Sopranos.

He clarified, “I truly believe that the Netflix series Daredevil, which I know inside and out, had a more noir style and was essentially a New York crime story. It shares similarities with The Sopranos and King of New York. There’s a certain vibe reminiscent of ’90s crime narratives. It moves at a unique pace and encompasses a breadth that Netflix, for various reasons, couldn’t quite achieve. They were quite dark visually, not necessarily in terms of the storyline, although there were some gloomy aspects. However, we take it to another level of darkness.

Although Season 1 of “Daredevil: Born Again” hasn’t hit the screens yet, Marvel Studios appear to be quite optimistic about the series as it has already been greenlit for a second season. Intriguingly, filming for Season 2 commences even before fans can watch Season 1.
