DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2 MCU Timeline Placement Officially Confirmed - Here's What It Means

Disney+ has revealed where in the MCU's timeline the events of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, placing it after Thunderbolts* but before another recent Marvel Television series.

Much has been said about where Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 fits into the Marvel Cinematic Universe's timeline, especially amid concerns that Thunderbolts* somewhat contradicts the events of both seasons.

There's nothing in the movie to suggest Mayor Wilson Fisk's Anti-Vigilante Task Force is patrolling the streets, but the battle with The Void happens fairly quickly, meaning it's feasible that they didn't have time to get there. Still, it appears the impact of The Sentry's attack won't be felt on Daredevil or the Kingpin.

It's not the end of the world, and it isn't that hard to figure out. Still, for those of you eager to know where Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 fits into the MCU's timeline, we have an answer.

Season 1 played out after Deadpool & Wolverine and Agatha All Along. Season 2, meanwhile, happens after Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps (meaning all three movies were set during the six months between each season).

Interestingly, Wonder Man is now confirmed to have occurred after the events of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is also set after Season 2, which was confirmed by a pretty sizeable spoiler in that movie's first trailer.

Take this with a pinch of salt, but @Cryptic4KQual has said that, while Daredevil is unlikely to ever join the Avengers, the "chances of him being in Doomsday [have] shot up a bit." 

We have no additional insights, but in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Charlie Cox teased the upcoming clash between the Man Without Fear and Kingpin of Crime as the Mayor Fisk storyline wraps up ahead of Season 3:

"The filming of it was rough. The location is a very dark, dingy, cold, depressing basement in Soho somewhere. I'm in the Daredevil suit, which has its challenges, and Vincent wears the Fisk [bodysuit] underneath his costume, and that is incredibly debilitating to him. So there's a funny feeling because you go into those work days knowing you're making something that's got a good chance of being something that the fans remember from the whole season, that it's gonna be one of the talked-about moments, but you're also aware that the next two days are gonna be hard — like really, really long, hard days — and your body is gonna really feel it."

In Daredevil: Born Again, survival, resistance and redemption collide as the battle for the soul of New York begins. In Season 2, Mayor Wilson Fisk crushes New York City underfoot as he hunts down public enemy number one, the Hell’s Kitchen vigilante known as Daredevil.

But beneath the horned mask, Matt Murdock will try to fight back from the shadows to tear down the Kingpin’s corrupt empire and redeem his home. Resist. Rebel. Rebuild.

Created by Dario Scardapane, Chris Ord and Matt Corman, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 stars Charlie Cox as the titular masked vigilante (aka Matt Murdock) and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk.

Returning to the series are Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk, Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Poindexter/Bullseye and Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn. This season also marks the long-awaited return of Krysten Ritter as fan-favourite Jessica Jones and introduces Matthew Lillard as the mysterious Mr. Charles.

Daredevil: Born Again is now streaming weekly on Disney+.

@MotherGooseUPus - I'll have to nod my head in aggreance while it's going in one ear, and out the other. Like Mister Del Griffith there.

We've got 10+ years of content to digest between the movies and TV shows. The timelines of where the TV series all fit, it's too much to keep up with. If Wonder Man happens AFTER DDS02, and I'm assuming nearly around the same time Brand New Day, those are both before Doomsday in the timeline???

Yeah! I'll just enjoy the TV series as they are LOL. Timelines are for the movies.

@JayLemleAgain3X - Definitely set before Doomsday. S3 of Born Again is very likely set before Doomsday as well (even though it releases after). The way Doomsday ends, there’s not much they do during that period except for prequels until Secret Wars wraps up.

I only saw the premiere episode of Season 2 last night and I loved it. It’s a scary world that Matt and company are living in, one that actually seems familiar in some ways. Heather looks like she has lost weight, perhaps a nod to mental health struggles as a result of her trauma.

@RolandD - yep

It’s scary that they wrote S2 2 years ago and it seems timely as ever.

Cool , never paid attention to that official timeline before but will now..

Anyway , I don’t necessarily mind something like the third act from Thunderbolts not being addressed in BA S2 (even though it would have been nice) since weird shit like that happens all the time in the MCU and ultimately it seems like everything went fine so I can see the world just moving on from it.

However what I do have an issue with is the lack of other NY based vigilantes such as Spider Man not being involved in this city wide war essentially…

We know why he isn’t but I feel in universe we should get a mention atleast of his absence but oh well , I can let it go and suspend my disbelief to an extent.

Also in regards to DD being in the Avengers , honestly not every hero needs to be on the team though it would be nice to see Matt interact with other heroes besides his fellow Defenders & She Hulk of course!!.

@TheVisionary25 - Regarding DD moonlighting with the Avengers, I agree that he doesn't need to be there. Wolvy moonlights as an Avenger, X-Man, X-Force member, and probably has with the FF?! It'd feel like the Civil War comic series when even a random-ass Ghost Rider appearance felt out of place.

Do we know if the MCU version of the X-Men will be at the upstate NY HQ? Or, the Bay Area HQ? If it's NY, it'd make sense to start include Spider-Man mentions. The Avengers Campus, and even the New Avengers tower are still in NY. I hope Marvel does ramp-up on the city of NYC and the entire state's placement in the entire Cinematic Universe.

@TheVisionary25 - They really should address the spider in the room. I absolutely don’t expect Matt to join.Avengers, but I would love to see him interact with them. Plenty of heroes appeared alongside the team in Infinity War in Endgame, helps fight the battle yet never joined the team.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 3/27/2026, 1:16 PM
@RolandD - agreed , I would be fine with something like that.

Honestly, it checks out for me that folks just wouldn't be talking about the void all the time. It was a traumatic experience that everyone had. Not much else to talk about. It's been six months, it's dropped out of the news cycle and folks have moved on with their lives. Works for me.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 3/27/2026, 1:15 PM
@Clintthahamster - yep , more or less like real life.

There’s too many other crazy shit going on lol

I haven’t been reading columns here since I just watched it last night but is The Northern Star an in universe nod Dex having a need for a North Star to guide him. Even though I don’t expect decks to be redeemed because of all the murderers and harm he has caused, it’s very clear now that Daredevil/Matt is his new North Star.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 3/27/2026, 1:12 PM
@RolandD - maybe since the episode was called that aswell so could be a double meaning…

I like the idea of less so Matt but moreso Dex in his mind trying to do good or what he thinks is good is his North Star which could be an interesting idea.
RolandD
RolandD - 3/27/2026, 1:33 PM
@TheVisionary25 - Exactly. Dex’ views on good and Matt’s would look very different but that doesn’t mean he can’t do some good. It’s how I imagine the team up of Clark and Lex to go although I expect that they will work together more than Matt and Dex. Historically America allied with Russia against the common enemies of Germany, Japan and Italy.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 3/27/2026, 1:37 PM
@RolandD - agreed

Heroes and villains teaming up reluctantly against a bigger threat is a old trope in the genre so people complaint about it by being ignorant or thinking the villains will turn good is hilarious to me.
RolandD
RolandD - 3/27/2026, 1:39 PM
@TheVisionary25 - Those “fans” have to have something to complain about.

There is nothing Daredevil could do during the events of The Thunderbolts* because he doesn't get involved with Avenger level problems. Now if the Sentry began his Void purging in Hell's Kitchen, I'm sure Matt would have tried to help people evacuate.

OT: @JoshWilding @MarkCassidy - Here's something that I never thought that I'd be writing: the MCU's Punisher and Thing are staring in a Broadway production of "Dog Day Afternoon" together. Here's the info: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/28/theater/dog-day-afternoon-broadway-jon-bernthal-ebon-moss-bachrach.html. Enjoy! :)
