Daredevil: Born Again Star Vincent D'Onofrio Reacts To Decision To End Series With Season 3

Daredevil: Born Again star Vincent D'Onofrio has become the first cast member to comment on the show's shock cancellation after its upcoming third season, expressing gratitude to MCU fans.

Daredevil: Born Again will end with Season 3, a genuine surprise, seeing as we're getting a full-blown Defenders reunion when the series returns next year. Surely, that's the start of bigger and better things for the Man Without Fear and his corner of the MCU?

Only time will tell whether these characters now have a future beyond Daredevil: Born Again's third and final season, but we know Charlie Cox is eager to assemble alongside the Avengers. He and Kingpin actor Vincent D'Onofrio have also repeatedly expressed their desire to share the screen with Spider-Man.

Cox isn't on social media, so it will probably be a while until we hear from him on Daredevil: Born Again's abrupt ending. However, D'Onofrio has now taken to X to share his thoughts on saying goodbye to the series. 

"We so enjoyed bringing @Daredevil Born Again to you all," the actor wrote. "You stuck with us and i like to think we stuck with you. We have the final Season, season 3 heading your way next year with some very cool stuff."

"Much love to all who have been supportive. I love that character Fisk. Always will," D'Onofrio continued. "Off to another neck off the woods. Meanwhile... Season 3 is coming!"

D'Onofrio has often taken to social media to clear the air about any misconceptions with Daredevil: Born Again, and frequently interacts with fans. It's not surprising that he's the first to comment on the show ending. However, showrunner Dario Scardapane—who has reportedly been removed from the series during post-production—will be the most interesting person to hear from.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 3's cast include Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Wilson Bethel as Bullseye, Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as Luke Cage, Finn Jones as Danny Rand/Iron Fist, Elodie Yung as Elektra Natchios, Nikki M. James as Kirsten McDuffie, Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn, and Matthew Lillard as Mr. Charles.

The series is expected to return to Disney+ next March. News on Daredevil: Born Again will likely be shared at New York Comic Con next month, so keep checking back here for updates.

@MonkeyBot - I believe D'onfrio said that Kingpin and Daredevil "movie appearances" are complicated, so apparently they can't. He said on Deadline before that apparently Sony owns or shares some of the rights for Kingpin and Daredevil characters, so if they do appear in "movies" Marvel has to pay Sony. Apparently only the TV rights went back to Marvel but the movie rights are still in limbo similar to how MCU was able to use Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver back in the day when Fox technically still owned X-men. Apparently thats the reason why we got Matt Murdock in Spiderman 3 but we can't have him any Avengers movies. D'Onfrio said that was the reason why Sony was able to use Kingpin as the villain in Spiderman Into the SpiderVerse too.

Disney has been adamant that they do not want to pay any other movie studio for their films.

@mastakilla39 - According to Feige, the rights issues aren't that complicated:

Basically, if they want them in movies, they'll be in movies. Daredevil showing up in Secret Wars is quite likely IMO.

I think if there is enough outcry on social media Marvel will have to relent.

@Spike101 - I can't put my finger on it but I feel like you may be on to something, like if Disney will wait another 7 years to bring back a once beloved show to satisfy the fans. I like what you're thinking.

#rebootthedisney+MCU shows, and marvel, and DC, and harry potter.

I don`t get it. So Daredevil: Born Again is ending. So what?!? Doesn`t mean we won`t see Matt/Cox again. Next there`s a Daredevil: Manhunt or something like that, featuring a different storyline in a slightly different flavour.

Time for a new Kingpin. I love D'Onofrio but, at age 66, he had slimmed down so much that he was no longer believable as Kingpin. More like ... Slimpin.

This is all about the reconfiguration of the MCU storylines going into secret wars, and the type and amount of MCU content we see on Disney +. DD and KP will likely be rebooted and recast in a few years.

Keep Cox as DD, he's way too good in that role and IMO top 3 comic casting of all time. Vincent is great as kingpin, but we need a more accurate one not just in stature but strength. I don't believe for a second this version could have a fight with spidey.

So we basically got 6 seasons of Charlie and Vincent doing their thang, with 2 different creative team's, half being MCU adjacent and the other half being full blown MCU. Actually, I forgot to include the single season of Defender's, so 7 seasons of Daredevil goodness. That's a pretty solid run. If they were pulling their punches holding out on stories for later seasons, then they are retarded. They had all the time in the world to do everything that should have been in a Daredevil series. If they left cards on the table unplayed, that's entirely their bad.

I'm a bit indifferent because I never even started Born Again, but planned to check it out eventually. Now that I know it has a definitive ending impending, I suppose that'll be when I play catch up. Hopefully season 3 of Born Again closes things properly and has a gratifying conclusion.

Daredevil ultimately got 6 seasons. It's run it's course

A nice post , feels very genuine yet diplomatic which is how D’Onofrio tends to be on social media since he even reacts with politeness to some real assholes on there…

However him saying he’s “off to another neck of the woods” might mean he’s off to another part of the MCU possibly?.

He likely means he’s on to perhaps other projects and I’m reading into things but one can speculate.

Anyway while I had grown a bit tired of Kingpin being the main villain of the show for 4 seasons or so , he was still a good character imo and D’Onofrio did great in the role so i do hope we see him again sooner then later , perhaps in a Spider Man film that is!!.

sad the show is ending, but as long as DD makes it into the movies and cox continues as Matt ill be thrilled. would love vin to continue as Kingpin but he's getting old, even if ive loved his performance.

with that said... if DD and Kingpin are NOT in any movies... then burn this mofo down and we riot

They need to bring him into the MCU as Kingpin. Nothing like that

They’re gonna get rebooted, so put Cox in Secret Wars and then can we finally get a movie? Daredevil is one of Marvel’s premier characters. He deserves to be on the big screen

I mean aren't they about the reboot the MCU in a couple years? Feels like this kinda makes sense.
