DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Featurette Spotlights Episode 6's Brutal Climactic Fight Scenes - SPOILERS

Marvel Television released two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again last week, the second of which concluded with Matt Murdock suiting-up as the Devil of Hell's Kitchen again for the first time since his battle with Bullseye in the series premiere.

Spoilers follow.

In "Excessive Force," the Man Without Fear tracks down the twisted serial killer known as Muse when he kidnaps Hector Ayala's niece Angela and begins to drain her blood.

As the hero engages in a brutal fight with Muse (this version of the character has no powers, but is still fairly formidable), we see that Mayor Wilson Fisk is taking out some of his frustrations on his wife Vanessa's lover, Adam, with both sequences playing out simultaneously.

Both characters have very different reasons for the violence that follows... or do they?

Now, Disney+ has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette with Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, and supervising stunt coordinator Philip Silvera discussing the scene and how it came together.

In Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened abilities is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course.

The show also stars Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, with Ayelet Zurer and Jon Bernthal. Dario Scardapane is on board as showrunner.

Episodes are directed by Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, Michael Cuesta, Jeffrey Nachmanoff, and David Boyd; and executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Sana Amanat, Chris Gary, Dario Scardapane, Christopher Ord & Matthew Corman, and Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead.

Fight choreography for both scenes was great. I'm really liking how the fights for this season feel even more in line with the comics.

That intercutting fight sequence between Daredevil vs Muse and Fisk vs Adam was great , probably my favorite one so far.

Also man , D’Onofrio’s Fisk is already different to an extent then Comic Kingpin or other versions but it’s never more explicit then when he’s fighting…

There’s always this rage seemingly shimmering just barely under the surface in his performance with the voice & such that doesn’t really become unleashed until he fights where he just seems like this overgrown yet deadly tantruming baby/child which he is underneath.

@TheVisionary25 - I've come around on his performance a lot as a "therapy dude." I definitely understand what it's like to have rage (or betrayal, sadness, regret, resentment, etc) constantly bubbling under the surface, waiting for just the right trigger to bring it out. Noah Wylie's recent performance on The Pitt is the only other TV show I've seen depict it so accurately.

I have just watched episode 6.
I still feel that this season is way behind the 3 Netflix seasons.

@MarvelZombie616 - For sure. I'm reserving judgment until the next batch of episodes, once they're entirely free of the footage shot before the strikes, but some of the choices (keeping Matt out of costume for most of the episodes, the primary narrative throughline being more about Fisk than Matt, the absence of Karen and Foggy, the completely unnecessary "man on the street"/"greek chorus" segments) are really off-putting so far.

So far I think Marvel Studios has done a really good job showing Daredevil kick ass or at the very least keep up with another combatant. Daredevil vs. She-Hulk was very CGI but it showed how acrobatic he is. Daredevil vs. Echo was top tier. The way Daredevil was both acrobatic and strictly countering all of Echo's attacks shows how disciplined he is as a combatant. And then you have Daredevil vs. Muse where if Matt fights an unskilled fighter he is going to completely dog walk them.

why is there no news here about the eternaut comic adaptation?

@grif - Because it's "Make a Wish Day" and they're letting Vectorsigma and his Ne Zha 2 obsession fade into obscurity.
