Cameras will begin rolling on Daredevil: Born Again next year, and Marvel Studios has slowly started assembling the Disney+ series' supporting cast. Michael Gandolfini and Colin Woodell are among recent casting additions, and the expectation is we'll be getting quite a bit more news on that front in the coming weeks.
Now, Murphy's Multiverse is reporting that some actors, like Woodell, are signing contracts for one-off MCU appearances, likely suggesting he's not playing anyone too important.
Others, however, like Gandolfini, are said to be closing deals that include options for future seasons and other appearances in Marvel Studios projects. That certainly lends some weight to rumours that the actor is being eyed to take on the role of The Kingpin's son, Richard Fisk, in the MCU.
While nothing is confirmed, the site points out that this news seems to suggest Daredevil: Born Again won't be a one-off. Many fans have wondered if Charlie Cox joining the MCU as Matt Murdock is simply a way to placate those eager for a season 4, with the 18-episode series wrapping up the Man Without Fear's feud with the Kingpin of Crime.
However, if Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law proved anything, it's that there's a real appetite for more Daredevil, Wit that in mind, we have to believe Daredevil: Born Again is a whopping 18 episodes due to plans to expand the street-level aspect of this shared world...with Daredevil a pivotal part of doing so.
Throw in rumours that Daredevil and Kingpin will also appear in Spider-Man 4, and it looks like we're finally going to see these superheroes help regular people on the streets of New York rather than only protecting them from world-ending threats!
We'll see what happens down the line but, like you, will be keeping everything crossed that there are plans for additional seasons of Daredevil on Disney+.
