Daredevil: Born Again has been filming for a while at this stage, but we have an update on four supporting/guest parts that have yet to be filled.

According to Daniel Richtman, Marvel Studios is currently searching for actors to portray four transgender characters who will play a significant role in at least one episode of the Disney+ series.

There are several notable trans characters in the Marvel Comics Universe - including a Variant of the Man Without Fear himself - but we can't imagine this foursome will be established heroes or villains from the page. It seems more likely that they'll be involved in one of Matt Murdock's cases, but that's pure speculation on our part.

In related news, Charlie Cox was asked about Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson reprising their roles as Karen Page and Foggy Nelson from the now defunct Netflix show during an appearance at Awesome Con, and he confirmed that the decision to bring Murdock's best pals back was only made after the series returned from its strike hiatus amid the major creative overhaul we heard about earlier this year.

“When we came back to filming and they had made some changes, it was clear that Foggy and Karen are kind of the heartbeat of our show. They always were. So [it feels] really special to have them back.”

Check out the interview with Cox in the player below.

The Punisher writer Dario Scardapane is believed to have come aboard as the project's new showrunner, but that's yet to be made official.

Specific plot details are still under wraps, but we know that Born Again will see Matt Murdock/Daredevil face-off against his old nemesis the Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio), who we last saw rushing back to New York in the season finale of Echo. Fisk will likely be either running for mayor of NYC or already appointed to the position when the story gets underway.

Jon Bernthal will also return as Frank Castle/The Punisher.

The show is not expected to run for the originally announced 18 episodes. A recent rumor claimed that it would likely air 9 (possibly 6) episodes before taking a mid-season break.

The upcoming Disney+ series doesn't have an official release date yet, but is still listed as being on Disney's updated 2024 schedule.

Before the Anti-Woke Mafia comes in. Hells Kitchen in NY is known for being LGBTQ friendly and open. They have been filming in real on site locations in NY, So it makes sense they want to portray specific areas, cultures, and diversity to make it feel more authentic. I'm from NY and trust me when I say it's a video game.

@SonOfAGif - well, damn it.... I'd already set up my booth and lit our supply of tiki torches for sale... Some people are trying to make a living off of racism, you know. If people figure out that the 1% want us distracted by racism and wars and the Oscars so we never band together and start a revolution against our puppeteers who keep us enslaved and working to make their money.

@SonOfAGif - lol, this is not the problem. The problem is that these productions are focusing on these things rathet than the story.

They can do all representation they want, just make a good series.

Is that hard to understand that you need to twist it a being antiwoke?

@SonOfAGif - and then when you're proven right when you read the 2 pages of comments, they never admit that you were right.
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 3/14/2024, 11:34 AM
@SATW42 - Because they want to control the narrative. They live in a fantasy world where trans people do not deserve to exist and due to that they shouldn't exist. I don't condone or support Incest, So by their logic why didn't we burn Game of Thrones to the ground? Incest is a real thing and rather than pretend it doesn't exist, I believe what I believe in and keep it moving. Yet these same folks believe that the LGBTQ community should be eradicated because it's "gross". I think Obesity is gross. Do those folks need to be eradicated? Absolutely not. But the option for mental health and acceptance should be there for everyone.

@Origame - A dangerous Ideology that's harming children is denying things are real. You want to raise your children to live in La La Land for the rest of their life by all means do you. But do not try to control the narrative and prevent other parents from raising their children with an open mind. Religion is a dangerous Ideology that is harming society and yet you folks continuously use passages from a Bible to justify your hate for things that are very real.
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 3/14/2024, 11:37 AM
@vectorsigma - Game of Thrones focused primarily on Incest as a focal point for various story arcs. Did you protest that? But when Loki admitted he was into both genders in that one scene, You all were very very vocal about an agenda being shoved down your throats.
Origame
Origame - 3/14/2024, 11:45 AM
@SonOfAGif - says the person advocating for the ideology where kids are being told they can identify as whatever they want and that makes it true. 🙄

Look, sex and gore are also things that are real. They're also things we don't show kids because we know they aren't ready to handle those things, hence why we have a ratings system for movies that tells you about how old you should be to watch it.

And it's your ideology that's preventing the open mind views on the discussion by teaching it to children and doing everything in your power to keep it from the view of the parents. If parents want to teach their children about this that's their right and ONLY their right. But outside bodies trying to pretend changing your gender is something normal and worthy of celebration isn't something disney, the family company, should be pushing.

SonOfAGif - 3/14/2024, 11:48 AM
@Origame - WRONG. I'm not forcing an ideology onto anyone. I just don't inject my beliefs onto parents and tell them how they can and can't raise their kids. For someone whose so concerned with freedom and rights you seem to be focused on taking the freedom and rights away from adults raising their children.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 3/14/2024, 12:16 PM
@SonOfAGif - you seem to have generalized everyone who is against the "new marvel"

I dont remember myself comolaining about the gender politics in Loki.

But anyway here's the difference.

The incest in GoT is very much part of the politics in the show and makes for compelling drama.

Now, Loki liking both genders didnt serve any purpose in the story and was just shoved in for checkboxes.

See the difference?
Origame
Origame - 3/14/2024, 12:24 PM
@SonOfAGif - except thats exactly what your ideology is pushing.

And no, supporting this propaganda isn't giving parents freedom.
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 3/14/2024, 1:15 PM
@vectorsigma - Loki liking both genders is part of his mythology. Loki was Bisexual in mythology and even performed Bestiality due to his ability to change forms. So how is it checking boxes with something that is based on his character lore within history and scriptures?
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 3/14/2024, 1:17 PM
@Origame - Ideology isn't exclusive to one person. But you want it to be. You want people to follow YOUR ideology. My argument remains. Parents should follow whatever ideology they wish and raise their children how they want to raise them. As long as no laws are being broken and no violations are present, why should you get to tell a parent that they shouldn't teach their kids that Transgender people are real? You want people to live in your miserable bubble of fantasy.

@SonOfAGif - the disney company is not one person.
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 3/14/2024, 2:10 PM
@Origame - But you are one person who can control what YOUR children watch. This is the same argument government had with violent video games. They blamed the company who made the product and not the parents who allowed their children to play games that fall into the Mature rating system. Stop blaming companies for brainwashing your children and own the fact that it's your fault as a parent for not researching a product and controlling what your children watch. Government wants to ban Tik Tok but don't blame the parent that allows their kid on Tik Tok. Don't blame the gun blame the shooter.
Origame
Origame - 3/14/2024, 2:42 PM
@SonOfAGif - not when they aren't being honest with what they're showing. For example, why would we think a continuation of the x men series would have that content when it wasn't there to begin with?
Origame
Origame - 3/14/2024, 2:46 PM
@SonOfAGif - also, terrible example. We agreed violence wasn't appropriate. Hence violent games have ratings. Not so with transgenderism. People are actively pushing that on children without parental knowledge. Have you read gender queen? That's being found in middle school libraries
Origame
Origame - 3/14/2024, 3:34 PM
@SonOfAGif - oh and don't think I see that strawman of us saying we don't want these people to exist. Because of course you have to make this as ridiculous as possible instead of the real argument that people are born the way they are and you can't change that.

But no. Guess you're full on the give kids puberty blockers and cross sex hormones train too.
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 3/14/2024, 3:45 PM
@Origame - You cannot push transgender ideals onto someone. A person who wants to transition will transition regardless of what books you take away or apply. You could read 16 Transgender books tonight and tomorrow you still wouldn't transition because you don't want to or have that mindset to transition. I believe you are arguing something completely different from what I'm arguing.
Origame
Origame - 3/14/2024, 4:15 PM
@SonOfAGif - yes, you can. Just like any ideology. Transtrending alone is a thing. The overall percentage of this generation is skyrocketing. You really think it's a coincidence that transgenderism has gone up at a rate of 10x the percentage as transgenderism is becoming more and more mainstream?

And the damages are apparent too as children as young as tanner stage 2 (which is about 9 in case you were wondering) are given puberty blockers that lead to stunted growth, lack of bone density into adulthood, and growing up without adult sexual functions.

This simply has no business being taught to kids. You're either male or female. And it's determined by your chromosomes, not your feelings.

@SonOfAGif - it wasnt even properly built on in the series. Did the revelation do anything about his story arc? None. It was just there for the checkboxes and not the storytelling

Just know the difference between checking boxes and it being part of the storytelling
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 3/15/2024, 12:22 AM
@vectorsigma - Checking Boxes would be the "Girl Power" scene in Endgame. Loki admitting he liked both genders isn't checking boxes. Loki is bisexual in mythology. Why is this even an argument? The problem you have is because he admitted it. Had he made out with a guy or fell in love with Mobius you would have had a problem with it too. Just accept that if it doesn't check YOUR boxes you will protest anything.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 3/15/2024, 2:20 AM
@SonOfAGif - i am not debating whether this is from the comics or not.

My simple point is it didnt have any purpose in the story. It will still have the same story whether he is bisexual or not. Without purpose in the story, it is just checking boxes just like Endgame scene you mentioned

We are going circles here.

@rieldood - Of course people have been gender non-conforming since the beginning of time. Gender is a fiction. So many vague rules to conform to.

I'm wearing a pink robe right now, does that make me female? No. It's cold, this robe was there and now I'm no longer cold. Do I need to declare myself as trans just wear a pink robe? Of course not, but I'm not exactly playing by the gender-conformity rules.

It's a dumb game and trans people just wanna be allowed to keep playing it.

@FinnishDude - Heck there was the Pirate Mary Read back in the early 1700's who started dressing as a boy from a very young age, then joined the British military dressed as a man and joined the crew of of Calico Jack and Anne Bonny with them believing her to be a man. Now some will say that is JUST impersonating a man not being trans, but there are instances like that throughout history such as the female pharaoh Hatshepsut in the mid 1400's and Epipole in the Trojan War (around the 12th or 13th century BCE).

I mean interesting debates can be had on nature v nurture and talking about how much is potentialy part of genetic makeup, hormonal imbalances or mental state and all that along with debate if documented cases in history count as trans or not but it has always been a thing however it was or is refered to and dealt with.

@ObserverIO - Yup Mulan too, unsure with L Frank Baum but do recall him being talked about as potentialy queer just don't know the specifics/accuracy beyond him creating trans characters in his books and no idea what your on about with Zelenskyy, lol.

As I say some historic cases (esp those that may be myth not factual) there will be debate on the reasons they were taking on the role of a gender in opposition of their birth sex, esp specificaly ones where it was female dressing as males in a patriarchal system taking on roles that women couldn't or at least be less accepted and/or for inheritance and the like.

@Apophis71 - L Frank Baum used female pen names. Zelenskyy I was just joking about lol. When he was a young lesbian he had the body of a petite pop star, but then after the hormone treatment he's a tank with a beard.

Incidentally he's my number 1 choice to play Wolverine in the MCU.

@ObserverIO - you're conflating wearing a pink robe to bodily mutilation and hormone therapy. Believe it or not, but only one of those things wont will leave you sterile and deformed permanently.
