‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Star Explains How Series Continues Matt Murdock’s Story

by

As a seasoned movie critic with a penchant for superhero sagas, I must say that Charlie Cox’s insights into Daredevil: Born Again have piqued my interest significantly. His reassurance that the series will continue Matt Murdock’s story from the original Netflix Daredevil is music to fans’ ears. It’s always a relief when creators respect the source material and acknowledge the investment of their audience.

Matt Murdock, portrayed by Charlie Cox, and Wilson Fisk, played by Vincent D’Onofrio, are now set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe through “Daredevil: Born Again”. Eager fans have been wondering about the approach the rebooted series will take in integrating these characters into the new universe. Fortunately, Charlie Cox has provided some insight on how Marvel Studios is managing Daredevil’s transition to this exciting new phase.

For three seasons, Cox portrayed the lead character in the highly praised series “Daredevil“, which originally streamed on Netflix but later moved to Disney+. In an interview with Empire Magazine, Cox discussed the transition of Daredevil to Disney+ for the upcoming revival series “Daredevil: Born Again“. The actor shared that Marvel Studios had contemplated different approaches to present Daredevil considering the backstory from the Netflix series. “There were initial discussions about reimagining the entire concept, exploring if Matt could be a slightly altered character,” he explained.

Nevertheless, these conversations ultimately pointed towards the same destination. Cox clarified that “Daredevil: Born Again” is not a reboot, instead it continues Matt Murdock’s tale right from the cherished initial series. He further added:

However, instead of wrapping things up neatly, this new chapter feels like an extension. Much of the past events are carried forward. The connections and interactions established in the earlier seasons persist.

Empire’s story not only clarifies the ongoing narrative of the original Daredevil, but also offers a sneak peek at Matt Murdock, Karen Page, and Foggy Nelson in Daredevil: Born Again. The images depict these characters strolling through Hell’s Kitchen, a location close to their hearts.

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Features a Time-Jump

It seems that “Daredevil: Born Again” will bring the characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe by cleverly skipping ahead in time. As Charlie Cox explained, “A few years have passed,” which is a new piece of information about the show’s timeline jump from the original series. This approach allows for continuity with the original show’s storyline and relationships while also providing a fresh start for the characters within the MCU. Since Season 3 of “Daredevil” served as a satisfying conclusion to the original series, this time-jump is a smart and logical choice for continuing the narrative.

As a devoted movie critic, I’d rephrase it this way: “In the third season, Matt, Karen, and Foggy experienced a significant rift due to Matt’s compulsion for crime-fighting, ultimately leading to Foggy’s departure from our shared legal firm. However, the series finale brought them back together, setting the stage for ‘Born Again’ with their friendship stronger than ever. In Cox’s words, ‘Matt, Foggy, and Karen have established a solid groove.’ Yet, this harmony is shattered when Wilson Fisk re-emerges in Hell’s Kitchen, with ambitions to ascend as the Mayor of New York.

In my perspective as a film critic, Matt has found harmony in his dual roles as an attorney and a self-appointed enforcer of justice. Naturally, trouble doesn’t disappoint in knocking at his door.
