Daredevil’s Born Again Showrunner Confirms This Scene Will Be the Most Brutal on Disney+

by

I’m eagerly looking forward to the lineup of upcoming Marvel TV series, particularly “Daredevil: Born Again” in 2025, which I can stream with a Disney+ subscription. Initially, I was apprehensive about how it would carry on the narrative and aesthetic from the original Netflix series, given its new home. However, my worries have been alleviated now.

This revised version aims to maintain the original’s tone while making it easier for readers to understand the author’s excitement, concerns, and relief regarding the upcoming show’s continuity of storytelling and style from its Netflix origins, along with its transition to a new streaming platform (Disney+).

As the launch of “Born Again” approaches, there’s been a growing stream of details shared by its cast and production team. One question that keeps coming up is the level of violence we can expect, given the track record of its precursor. Dario Scardapane, who plays a key role as showrunner and executive producer on the upcoming series, addressed this in an interview with SFX Magazine. From his statements, fans craving intense brutality might be pleasantly surprised.

This season features a scene that’s utterly outrageous, going beyond anything Netflix has ever produced, and it’s entirely justified. When violence is used without any purpose, it becomes monotonous. In the case of Kingpin, it’s crucial to remind viewers that this towering, amusing antagonist is the bad guy, and we achieve this in a dramatic fashion.

Indeed, the assertion made about the EP’s part being bold is quite accurate. The original series was undeniably intense, with scenes such as Frank Castle’s prison fight and the gruesome slaughter of the Irish mob serving as reminders of its brutal nature. Furthermore, the chilling scene where Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, brutally decapitated a gangster using a car door, and the haunting image of John Healy impaling himself on a spike, are still vivid in many minds.

Dan Scardapane’s latest remarks continue to strengthen my belief that his work will capture the fierce energy reminiscent of Charlie Cox’s Man Without Fear from earlier tales. Notably, Scardapane was a writer for Netflix’s The Punisher, demonstrating his ability to pen intense and violent scenes effectively. Moreover, the trailers for Born Again have hinted at an abundance of action-packed fight sequences, further fueling my anticipation. In summary, I can hardly contain my excitement!

More on Daredevil: Born Again

Let me discuss a scene from the Daredevil: Born Again trailer that has left me puzzled, as I can’t tell if it’s an Easter egg or a pivotal plot point.

The development of “Daredevil: Born Again” has been a topic of much discussion, not all of it positive. In 2023, it was revealed that Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige wasn’t satisfied with the footage already shot for the series. After the Writers Guild and Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strikes, the show underwent changes, with Dan Scardapane being brought on board to replace the original showrunners. Since then, Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio have spoken about their role in steering the show back on track, ensuring it aligns more closely with the initial series concept. Cox even went so far as to say a major “U-turn” was necessary.

Details about the plot of the new Daredevil series are mostly secret, but we do know that Matt Murdock will strive to stop Wilson Fisk’s plans, as he aims to become the mayor of New York City. Characters like Foggy Nelson, Karen Page, Vanessa Fisk, and Frank Castle (The Punisher) are also part of the storyline.

From what we’ve glimpsed so far, fans can expect a thrilling storyline brimming with legal and political suspense. Along the journey, there will likely be numerous violent sequences, as well as an action-packed scene hinted at by Dan Scardapane. Here’s to hoping this series meets its high expectations.
