Spider-Man and Daredevil Team-Up Hints at Future

by

One captivating feature of the Disney+ reboot of Daredevil is that Matt Murdock plays a larger role within the Marvel Cinematic Universe than ever before. Previously on Netflix, Charlie Cox’s character, Man Without Fear, could make subtle nods to the MCU, but his recent appearances in Marvel series and films enable him to engage more directly with our beloved superheroes. Notably, following the cancellation of the Netflix series, Daredevil first reappeared in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home as Peter Parker’s lawyer. Now, a hint in Daredevil: Born Again could suggest a possible future team-up.

The main focus in the storyline of “Born Again” revolves around Wilson Fisk’s (Vincent D’onofrio) mayoral campaign, where his political aspirations lead him into conflict with Murdock, even though Murdock has been inactive as Daredevil for more than a year. It’s worth noting that Fisk’s political agenda is centered around an anti-vigilante policy; when discussing this topic, Fisk makes references to characters like the Punisher, Daredevil, and someone with a “spider symbol.” This mention of a spider symbol suggests that Spider-Man has been busy since he wiped everyone’s memory of Peter Parker at the conclusion of “No Way Home.

As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I’ve noticed that the latest developments suggest Spider-Man is now patrolling the streets as a vigilante – quite a shift from his previous large-scale heroic escapades. With Kingpin setting his sights on vigilantes, the new Daredevil series seems to be subtly hinting at a potential collaboration between street-level heroes such as Daredevil and Spider-Man – reminiscent of the teamwork we witnessed in another recent Marvel production.

A Daredevil and Spider-Man Team-Up Would Be Perfect For the Street-Level Heroes

There’s been a lot of excitement among fans about seeing Spider-Man and Daredevil team up together. Marvel Studios seems to have listened to this demand, as not only did Murdock appear in the movie “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, but he also shows up in an episode of the Disney+ series, “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man“. In this particular episode, Daredevil (voiced by Cox) not only meets up with Spider-Man but even engages in a short battle with him. This brief encounter offers fans a glimpse into the dynamic acrobatic action that could result from two agile characters working together.

It appears that the upcoming series “Daredevil: Born Again” is drawing inspiration from the Daredevil comics written by Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto. In this comic run, Matt Murdock gives up being a vigilante following an unfortunate event where he unintentionally takes a life. Interestingly, Wilson Fisk serves as the Mayor in these comics, and it’s clear that this aspect will play a role in the new series. Additionally, Zdarsky’s comic has Spider-Man scolding Matt for his risky behavior during confrontations with Fisk; however, it’s unlikely that this specific scene will appear in the television adaptation.

It’s likely that the fleeting reference to Spider-Man by Wilson Fisk signals more of the web-slinger’s street-level adventures. The upcoming fourth Spider-Man film directed by Destin Daniel Cretton increases the possibility of a story featuring Spider-Man, who’s keeping an ear out for trouble, and perhaps even Daredevil making an appearance. Since the projected release date for Spider-Man 4 falls between two Avengers films, fans might need to exercise some patience before witnessing a live-action team-up of Spider-Man and Daredevil.
