DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Star Margarita Levieva Breaks Down Ending To Episode 7's Shocking Muse Scene - SPOILERS

In yesterday evening's episode of Daredevil: Born Again, Muse targeted Heather Glenn in a bid to make her his next work of art. The Man Without Fear intervenes, though it's the therapist who takes the serial killer down by unloading several shots from her gun into him. 

It's a big moment and a shocking ending to Muse's story in the MCU. This version of the character was neither an Inhuman nor superpowered, and his story looks to have reached a definitive conclusion after "Art For Art's Sake."

Talking to Screen Rant about working with Muse actor Hunter Doohan, Margarita Levieva explored the complexity of Bastian's relationship with Heather and how things escalate during their therapy session.

"Their relationship began during the book signing, when I meet the character eventually, who is playing Muse. And Hunter Doohan is such an extraordinary actor, and from the moment he walked up to me, there was just so much coming off of him, and so much energy and vulnerability."

"I really felt him deeply immediately, and he's a really terrifying character, because he is so sympathetic in the beginning, and because he's so vulnerable, and because he's so earnest, I think that's also why Heather really kind of falls for him, because she believes she can really help him and sees the goodness in him."

"That's why it's so jarring and just unfathomable when whatever unfolds unfolds. He was just such an extraordinary actor. That therapy session was a very, very long scene on the page, and it was one of those where [it] both felt like it was a huge mountain to climb, but once we got into the dance, it was so fluid and felt so real. It was terrifying, but it felt very real, which was really helpful for the show."

Asked about the fallout from Heather being the one to kill Muse, Levieva explained that, while it was in self-defence, it's a moment that will greatly affect her moving forward and perhaps even change the doctor's perception of New York's vigilantes. 

Discussing the "big themes and this idea of vigilante and violence and what is done in the service of serving the greater good," the actor pondered, "How far can we actually take that sort of violence into our own hands? Where does it all end?"

The Daredevil: Born Again star went on to suggest there are different ways to interpret Heather's willingness to shoot Muse during this "extremely traumatic" incident for the character. 

"It's extremely traumatic. It's life-changing, I think, for someone who's in the service of helping others to then take someone else's life is just too much to even understand at first and the moment that she does shoot him, we talked about it a lot. Is it a conscious [decision]? Is it full-on revenge, hunger, kill? Is it sort of like a blackout kind of kill because so much physical violence is inflicted upon her up until then."

"There are a few moments where she actually hits her head. So we were wondering if there was a version of it where she's almost unaware of what she's doing, and it's kind of like automatic. So I don't know, I don't want to really reveal what I decided for myself it was."

"It'll be interesting to see how people interpret it, but the effects are evident right away, even in the hospital scene, when she wakes up from the concussion and realizes what she had done, it's so unbearable for her to process, because taking someone's life is not something that she ever thought, obviously, that she would ever do in her lifetime. [It] really rocks her."

The fallout from this altercation will either bring Heather closer to Matt Murdock's vigilante alter ego or drive an even bigger wedge between them. Either way, we expect Levieva's character to be a big part of where the story goes as we head into the final two instalments. 

Seven episodes of Daredevil: Born Again are now streaming on Disney+.

The episode is mid as hell
Can't help but to compare it from netflix.
Didn't feel a thing when heather was in danger with muse. I wish we care for the characters just like how we care for karen and foggy.

@Gabimaru - See this is what I’m talking about. Years ago you would have been crying your eyes out for a revival, now the show has returned and you still throw your toys out of the pram. Fickle, ungrateful fans, I’m not surprised. Complain, complain and whine because nothing is never enough is it? This season is fine. Y'all should be grateful that it’s back. Why watch something just to complain. Y'all like children just crying and screaming, no maturity, no appreciation, no hope, useless human being seriously.

@CaptainAwkward - Comparisons to the show that it is a direct continuation of are inevitable.
The show is fine, but the original show was great.

I'm grateful for it personally, I'm enjoying it. But it's not as good as the original.

@CaptainAwkward - insult doesn't make you right. Do you want to talk like an adult or are you just do tantrums in the comment section? so you just gonna swallow everything that spoon fed to you?

@ObserverIO - I honestly feel most of the complaints can be put down to what went down with the overhaul mid production. Considering that the season isn't so bad as yhey really tried to make it as seamless as possilbe. I beleive the true test will be in season 2. Is will have the consistency from the jump. So I think that's when we'll know. Otherwise I'm enjoying it. Alot more than that other marvel/D+ shows.

@CaptainAwkward - "the show has returned"...yeah... except it hasn't. the writing is all over the place, feels nothing like the netflix show. The noir visual style of the OG show is gone and replaced with rooms being overly lit, lacking the shadow and depth of the Netflix show. This show feel like it's wearing the lifeless skin of the Original. u may like it all you want but when you start blaming the fans for not like the product then that is when you have lost.

@NoDaysOff - Yeah I totally agree, Season 2 will be the true test. The taste that we got of it in the first episode was promising. They certainly have that excitement level and reverence of the original.

One thing I immediately noticed after the first two episodes is that episode 1 was almost too fast and episode 2 was almost too slow. There doesn't seem to be balance. It's either hell-for-leather or daytime murder mystery soap opera.

I'd take the former over the latter, but also I think the first episode of a high profile show is always gonna be like that to get the audience hooked.

Maybe Scardapane would calm down a bit when he gets further into season 2. Hopefully not too much though because his Punisher series put me to sleep half of the time. Both those seasons of Punisher could have been 90 minute movies but were stretched out with shit-tons of barely written filler.

Decent episode overall, but again clear there was some overhaul.. Muse's story barely had enough background or backstory in the season for that reveal to feel like a pay off.

Fisk and Vanessa though, they were the MVP this season.

The fight was dope, but DD'S headpiece still looks weird, especially in the daylight.

@NoDaysOff - Nitpicking and complaining about absolutely nothing. Let’s see you work as a costume designer, go on show us that you can make the perfect daredevil headpiece. For crying out loud, all you kids do is complain about nothing. The show is fine, the issue is you lot and your immaturity and fickleness. This season is great but no y’all have to find something to scrutinise.
NoDaysOff
NoDaysOff - 4/2/2025, 8:08 AM
@CaptainAwkward - Someone taking issue with another person's opinion whose doesn't match your own is the true immaturity and fickleness you speak of.

Go suck a nut.

I still said i like the show but you only choose to focus on the negative. Both are allowed to exist.

@CaptainAwkward - better still suck two nuts!

And this was hailed as a masterpiece? It's not a bad show, but it pales in comparison to the Netflix series.

Saw the "big final fight", that was later season's Arrow quality, this shit ain't Daredevil. Either Muse is still alive and they actually go the supernatural route or I'm guessing that chick is the real Muse inspiring other Muse's to Muse. If that's really all they got with the character and he's just dead then Christ, what a let down.

She's great, but atm it feels like Heather Glenn in name only.

Can we get into the Glenn Industries stuff some time later? Corruption in her father's company that she roots out, he ends up killing himself, she takes over and then all teh relationship trouble with Matt who ends up driving her to suicide too, etc.

As it stands she seems more of a Milla Donovan than a Heather Glenn, just sighted.

@ObserverIO - You know what observer, you’ve been on here a long damn time, based on my observations (pun intended). Whatever you think of me or the show, I’m cool with that. In fact I got no beef with you, if you don’t like the show that’s great. I’ll spare you, from now on, nothing but respect. You are a veteran on here, as for everyone else my argument is towards them. I wouldn’t dare argue with you because I realised the hard way that you never back down lol. 😂😂

ObserverIO - 4/2/2025, 1:22 PM
@CaptainAwkward - lol, this is true. I really should learn to let it go sometimes.

I do get your frustrations though. All we do is complain, complain, complain. And we wonder why cbms are struggling. I feel you.

@ObserverIO - Out of curiosity are you more of a DC fan or Marvel fan? What are your favourite comicbook films and shows?
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 4/2/2025, 3:36 PM
@CaptainAwkward - I love them both but gun to my head? I'm more of a DC fan than a Marvel fan.
But that might actually change after Superman and TFF-FS. I'm way more excited about Fantastic Four, so if Superman drops the ball, I might just give up on DC altogether and pledge myself as a Marvel Zombie.

Favorite cbms: Nolan's Batman, Burton's Batman, Raimi's Spider-Man, Spiderverse, Watchmen, Russos MCU films, GOTG trilogy, Donner's Superman, Deadpool, Iron Man...

Outside of DC/Marvel I like the very first TMNT film and the first two Hellboy films.

How about you?
CaptainAwkward
CaptainAwkward - 4/2/2025, 6:19 PM
@ObserverIO - Nice selection. Are you referring to the 90s TMNT? Out of all the movies I think that’s the one I like the most, the original. I’d say I’m neutral when it comes to DC/Marvel but ultimately it has to be Marvel only because I’m a huge Xmen fan. Love all the movies even the bad ones. On the DC side love Superman especially man of steel. Big Batman fan, love every single movie even forever with the late Kilmer and Robin with Schwarzenegger. Guilty pleasures but still fun movies.

Favourite comicbook films are Blade 1 & 2, Watchmen, X2, DOFP, First Class, infinity war, endgame, Winter Soldier, Civil War, Wakanda Forever, Spiderman NWH, Across the Spiderverse, Deadpool & Wolverine, Logan, Man of steel, Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Thor Ragnarok.

Outside of DC/Marvel it’s Men in the black & the Mask. There’s just something about 90s cinema, the films back then were so visceral, edgy, nuanced and super cool.

I also love the MCU, I think I’ve seen 95% of the movies in theatres. I don’t like Captain Marvel and I loathe she-hulk. That was painful to watch. I gave up after episode 2 lol. Daredevil showing up was the only saving grace of that monstrosity of a show. She-hulk looked more like Shrek than a hulk.

Little bit about me, I’m a film fanatic, connoisseur of cinema, I live for the movies.
Big Star Wars fan, Star Trek fan, Matrix, Terminator, Mission Impossible, James Bond, John Wick, LOTR, etc.

How about you?

ObserverIO - 4/3/2025, 4:35 AM
@CaptainAwkward - Real good choices there. Yeah I meant the 1990 TMNT movie, the good one. MiB and The Mask are good choices too, they knew how to make an audience friendly product in the '90s. It's a lost artform. Those are two excellent, note-perfect works of pure entertainment.

Yeah I'm a big cinephile too. Love movies, love comics, LOVE comic book movies.

I don't like how that was the first therapy session you saw with them. Why wasn't there more build-up. The turn fell emotionally flat for me.

Honestly the NF version was better. Rebirth is pandering, less exciting, and doesn't seem to carry the same comic character feel. I'm a little disappointed
