Daredevil: Born Again is two weeks away and, honestly, Disney+'s marketing strategy is lacking (we've had one trailer a month out and that's pretty much it). On the plus side, a TV spot - which first showed up online as a YouTube advert - has now been released in glorious HD.
In that, we catch sight of Muse's "Born Again" graffiti, The Punisher's iconic logo, and more of the Man Without Fear's battle with Bullseye.
Insider @Cryptic4KQual has also shared news on the runtimes for Daredevil: Born Again's first two episodes. It's said the first instalment clocks in at 58 minutes. The second chapter, meanwhile, will be 47 minutes. So, a feature-length two-episode premiere on March 4!
They add, "[I don't know] the rest, but it is said that the rest of the series maintains proper runtime lengths." Hopefully, that means no surprisingly short episodes, an annoying habit that's plagued most of these Marvel Studios/Marvel Television projects.
All signs currently point to Daredevil: Born Again being a worthy successor to Netflix's Daredevil; it's just a shame Disney+ isn't marketing the show as a must-see event, though that may change in the next week or two.
"The level of violence is way up there for a Marvel/Disney show," Daredevil: Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane recently teased. "I don’t think there’s anything else even in the ballpark. There’s a moment in this that is just absolutely batshit, and way past anything Netflix ever did."
He also addressed the continued evolution of Wilson Fisk's relationship with Daredevil. "If you look at how it ends almost every season, they punch the shit out of each other, Kingpin goes to jail, we know he’s gonna come back. I didn’t want to do that."
"This dynamic is way more tense. There’s one scene between them in the first episode that lays it all out," he added. "Then we spend the next eight episodes throwing rocks at it."
