DAREDEVIL Stuntman Takes Aim At Marvel Studios' BORN AGAIN And Says It Will Be Nothing Like Netflix Series

Daredevil stunt double Chris Brewster has shared his thoughts on the Man Without Fear's portrayal in the MCU, suggesting Marvel Studios is deliberately moving away from what we saw in Netflix's Daredevil.

Matt Murdock was officially brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spider-Man: No Way Home, with Charlie Cox later suiting up in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. The response to both appearances was overwhelmingly positive and the actor will next be seen in Echo and his own series titled Daredevil: Born Again

Cox's stunt doubt from Netflix's Daredevil, Chris Brewster, recently appeared on the Ikuzo Unscripted podcast and made some pretty bold claims about the upcoming Disney+ reboot/continuation which he feels will impact the quality of the action we watch on screen. 

"They really, truly don’t want it to be anything like the Marvel Netflix Daredevil," Brewster claims. "So, nobody that worked on the original series, other than the cast that they’re bringing back, is coming back."

"It’s probably too late to change it now. Marvel has told every person working on that show that they don’t want 'Born Again' to look anything like the Netflix Daredevil series," he continued. "Trust me, not only did I work on the show, I was one of the biggest fans of the show."

Calling Daredevil "a masterpiece," Brewster criticised Marvel Studios' decision to rely more on VFX, going so far as to say, "If you watch She-Hulk, they turned Daredevil into a cartoon. It's all animated and it looks bad."

It's true that Marvel Studios is making sweeping changes to the Man Without Fear, but there's a good reason for the shift. Netflix didn't have the budget or inclination to portray Daredevil as more than a brawler, but the MCU is leaning more into the version from the comics who has near-superhuman abilities. 

That required special effects (a stunt person can't jump from the roof of a multistorey car park to battle She-Hulk), something which will clearly carry over into Daredevil: Born Again. However, it's easy enough to appreciate why that might not sit well with Brewster.

Despite some delays caused by the WGA strike, the series is still expected to debut on Disney+ in 2024.

@Batmandalorian - why not get the same team that made the show great? As if these MCU shows are getting good because of their teams

Funny.how the article needed to defend Marvel 😂

One of the reasons it was a good show is the grittiness and those stunts added to it. Making it a cgi fest will be a disaster once again.

But no, Josh has no bias whatsoever 🙄

'they turned Daredevil into a cartoon' god forbid a show based on still-cartoons look cartoonish. Sure it didn't look as good as the series, but this dude comes across very bitter

@Cap1 - Except, this version of Daredevil wasn't based on ''still-cartoons''; it was based on those dark and gritty DD comics from the 70s onward. So it wasn't adapted as such. It had a dark and realistic approach to everything. This dude wouldn't be saying this if this was MCU's own version of Daredevil that they created.

This dude comes across as very smart, because what he says is true, and the MCU [frick]ing botched one of the best, most artistic things to ever happen with a Marvel Comics adaptation on film.

Cap1 - 7/3/2023, 5:38 AM
@URCOMMENTSUCKS - I get what ur saying for sure and it's a shame they left that behind cos it obviously rips, but MCU isn't about that. MCU is based on 'still-cartoons'. It's all very cartoonish, *especially* the She-Hulk series. They're clearly trying to distance themselves from it, as lame as that is

@Cap1 - she hulk is one of their worst performing projects. The fact their doubling down on that, and with something as beloved as daredevil, just shows poor management.

It shouldn't take a rocket science to understand that doing more of what was previously successful and less of what wasn't successful is how you get success. Especially since they clearly understand this since they brought back the cast.

@Cap1 - it normally wouldn’t be a problem for a comic book show to be comic booky. But the reason everyone raved about daredevil was the unique, grounded and gritty action. The punches all had weight and Matt would get tired and struggle to end the fights. If they get rid of that to replace it with generic action it’s a huge mistake

I'm curious to see how they will handle the Punisher. It'll be fun.

@jj2112 - Since they cancelled the book & character, I’d say Punisher won’t even exist in MCU.

I feel like I’m out now. Haven’t watched Secret Invasion, & I kinda don’t plan to. The last several shows & movies have been big let downs with few great highlights. Seems more like off-brand Disney Marvel, instead of the awesome ‘07 MCU Magic when Marvel was independent.

@MG0019 - Agreed, I stopped after Falcon and Winter Soldier.

@MG0019 - Punisher has been confirmed to return in DD: BA.

If you miss "dark, gritty" Marvel TV, then I recommend Secret Invasion. It's the most adult-oriented MCU content that Disney's produced, maybe ever? Intrigue, betrayal, and a surprising amount of violence.

Yeah goofy ass Daredevil bring forced to take a walk of shame. We already knew that dork wasn’t going to be anything like the amazing Netflix version.

@mountainman - Daredevil: And Born Again Just Like That. It will be about him juggling his time with She Hulk’s Jennifer Walters and his new love interest Elektra. They will throw a little Wilson Fisk in it for the hype, but it’s more like Sex and the City, than Netflix’s series. Why do they feel they need to change perfection?

Good Luck with that Disney

@AllsGood - She-Hulk picking DD up like a baby and unmasking him made me die inside.

@soberchimera - yeah. I get she should be more powerful, but there had to be a better way to handle it. With his experience and skills, he should be able to escape.

@soberchimera - it would have been a totally different fight if Matt Murdock had spider-man’s superhuman strength.

@Origame @soberchimera @Timerider @AllsGood

Why the fukc...is Daredevil moving around like Spider-Man? Daredevil's last year was 2018, and in the Marvel Studios' canon you have to add an extra five years due to the infinity gauntlet. If I were to begin with season one in 2015, that would be thirteen years since Daredevil's debut. Matt Murdock was not twenty years old in season one. How in the name of all that is holy is he moving around like that thirteen years after his debut, where he was not a young man to begin with?

"it would have been a totally different fight if Matt Murdock had spider-man’s superhuman strength"

Timerider, did we watch the same clip!? The guy was sliding down a building and jumping around like Peter fukcing Parker. He didn't do anything remotely human in that clip. A normal human isn't doing that.

@videovac - remember when people were criticizing the daredevil movie by making him basically spiderman in terms of abilities? We really have regressed since then, since we're defending the same sh!t we criticized.
