Daredevil: Born Again went through a major creative overhaul to bring it more in line with the Netflix series. While significant changes have been made (in the original version, Matt Murdock didn't suit up until halfway through the season), the main story is expected to remain the same.
Based on what we've pieced together, Wilson Fisk becomes New York City Mayor and clamps down on vigilantes. Meanwhile, The Punisher is hunting down corrupt cops, the vigilante White Tiger is on trial, and a serial killer, Muse, is causing chaos in Hell's Kitchen.
The Cosmic Circus recently shared some MCU updates, including plans for the villain in the upcoming Disney+ TV series.
"What I’ve heard about Muse is that his character will fan the flames of chaos in the show," the site teases. "He’ll be very sinister and deranged and will actually be an antagonist to not only Daredevil but also Kingpin, which will be an interesting dynamic to see play out."
As for how long Mayor Fisk's reign will continue, they expect it to be a "while" seeing as it extends beyond just Daredevil: Born Again.
Daredevil included many memorable action scenes, with the hallway fight sequences a highlight. We got one of those in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and expect Daredevil: Born Again to similarly up the ante.
"As for whether Born Again will feature a one-take hallway sequence similar to the ones in the OG show, I have heard many wonderful things about how the stunt and fight coordination teams worked on this show and the way it was done," this new report teases. "If I had to explain how this show overall was approached, I would compare it to the way Marvel Animation approached X-Men '97."
"They respect the original material, built up on it, and elevated it to a new standard which I’m sure fans will love."
X-Men '97 has received praise for its inventive visuals and how well the mutant team worked together (fans have been so impressed that they've suggested the animated TV show's creative team could tackle the live-action reboot).
That extending to Daredevil: Born Again is exciting news and with Marvel Studios going to great lengths to make fans happy with this reboot/continuation, we're not shocked to learn they're going all out with the fight scenes.
Starring Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Margarita Levieva, Michael Gandolfini, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Wilson Bethel, Jeremy Earl, and Ayelet Zurer, Daredevil: Born Again premieres on Disney+ next March.
