As a longtime fan of the original Daredevil series, I can confidently say that my excitement for Daredevil: Born Again has reached new heights after hearing the cast’s reassurances about the show’s ties to its predecessor. The fact that they’re not just retconning Matt Murdock’s story but actively incorporating plotlines from the original series is a relief and a testament to the writers’ understanding of what made the original so beloved.
As a fervent movie critic, I eagerly anticipate diving into the gritty world of “Daredevil: Born Again” – a title reminiscent of the acclaimed comic book by Frank Miller. This upcoming series marks a long-awaited solo venture for Matt Murdock (portrayed by Charlie Cox), who first graced our screens in the Marvel/Netflix series “Daredevil” back in 2015.
In a recent chat with Entertainment Weekly, the cast of “Daredevil: Born Again” opened up about their experiences working on this much-anticipated project, which has now completed filming. Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Deborah Ann Woll, and Elden Henson shared insights into the new series and fondly recalled their time during the initial show.
“Some plotlines in the new series connect to the original one. The past, present, and future of our characters are intertwined, and certain paths lead back to their origins.”
As stated by Charlie Cox, the task of reviving Daredevil within the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a distinct challenge for showrunner Dario Scardapane and their writing team. The new series, titled Daredevil: Born Again, draws on plotlines and motifs from the original, but it’s crucial that this reboot doesn’t feel overly confined or like an unofficial fourth season of Daredevil. In his own words, Charlie Cox explained that the goal was to ensure the series stands on its own and offers a fresh take on the character.
“Simultaneously, it can act as an adversary, since it represents what follows you as you progress, creating a bond that restricts. The writers and Dario skillfully found a balance where we could retain our history and connections without being overly tethered to them throughout.”
Daredevil: Born Again Features Numerous Props From the Original Show
Uncovering Easter eggs in Marvel Studios films and series has turned into an enjoyable quest for comic book enthusiasts. From Jon Favreau’s Iron Man onwards, the MCU has been dotted with hidden gems that only attentive viewers can spot after multiple re-watches. The upcoming Daredevil: Born Again will follow suit. During a conversation, Charlie Cox disclosed a scene in Daredevil: Born Again where Murdock and Karen Page (Woll) sift through a box of their old items, containing various props from the original Daredevil series. He stated that this was one such Easter egg.
As a devoted movie enthusiast, I had an intriguing moment when Deborah and I stumbled upon an antique box on set. You see, this wasn’t just any ordinary box; it held relics from the past, remnants of our beloved show that we once brought to life eight years ago. One particular item caught my eye – a photo frame, frozen in time, yet still evoking memories as vivid as yesterday. Although I didn’t physically examine it, Deborah and I shared a moment of nostalgia over its contents, reminiscing about the good old days. It was an enchanting instance where life seemed to echo the art we had created all those years ago.
At Marvel Studios’ D23 event, the first official teaser for Daredevil: Born Again was unveiled, although it hasn’t been officially uploaded online yet. However, sneak peeks that have leaked have caused quite a stir among fans on social media. The trailer presents the reunion of familiar characters, updated costumes for Daredevil, and the arrival of a chilling Marvel Comics antagonist named Muse.
