Marvel Studios Reportedly Decided To Remove This MCU Superhero From DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN

Marvel Studios Reportedly Decided To Remove This MCU Superhero From DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN

With Daredevil: Born Again fast approaching, a new rumour claims Marvel Studios decided against including another popular street-level superhero in the show's first season. Find more details here...

When Daredevil: Born Again finally arrives on Disney+ next March, we're expecting a long overdue deep dive into the street-level corner of the MCU.

We know the Man Without Fear will cross paths with the likes of White Tiger and The Punisher, while various online scoopers have claimed the plan for Spider-Man 4 is for Peter Parker and Daredevil to do battle with The Kingpin. 

If that happens, then we'd imagine the idea is to bring Wilson Fisk's story to a definitive close when he's defeated by his two greatest foes. 

Lead star Charlie Cox recently teased plans for cameos in Daredevil: Born Again and Daniel Richtman has now "confirmed" rumours that Jacques "Jack" Duquesne (Tony Dalton) will appear in the series. Is he finally going to suit up as Swordsman? That remains to be seen. 

The scooper also claims that there were once plans for Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel to appear in the Daredevil revival. For whatever reason, the idea was scrapped early on, though her father - Yusuf Khan - will show up, something we saw in the leaked D23 trailer

We last caught up with Kamala in The Marvels; after teaming up with Captain Marvel and Monica Rambeau, she approached Kate Bishop and attempted to recruit the archer to her new superhero team. A Young Avengers project hasn't materialised so we now expect to see those characters in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 begins production this November so there's always a chance 'ol Hornhead will still get to meet Ms. Marvel. For now, though, Cox has another character in mind. 

Talking at FanExpo Chicago last weekend, the actor reflected on making his MCU debut alongside Tom Holland's Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home and shared his hopes to reunite with the web-slinger somewhere down the line. 

"Being in the Spider-Man movie felt like a big step just in terms of a lot of people referencing that when I meet them. I guess you can't underestimate how much it means when these characters have [a] history in the comics," Cox explained. "When we then get to collide onscreen, it really means a lot to the fans, and I get that."

"I feel that way now as well myself. So, the Spider-Man thing is such an iconic thing; the idea of Matt Murdock and Peter Parker together is just so iconic," he continued. "I hope that, in the future, we get to do some more stuff together because that really is fun. That's the main thing; just that those opportunities can arise."

The Daredevil revival stars 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. Dario Scardapane (The Punisher) serves as showrunner. 

It's been confirmed that Daredevil: Born Again will premiere on Disney+ next March.

@Bryan93 - Agree, please, no Kamala Khan! I wish Disney would stop pushing a character who doesn't resonate with anyone!

does not fit the tone of the show

@dracula - Love Iman, like the character, but agree it doesn't realy fit well into the tone of the series and thus would likely feel off if included.

Goddamn. Everyone associates DD with Ms Marvel - especially the gritty noirish Frank Miller style and of course the Bendis/Brubaker runs.

So much for being comic accurate.

They will regret this.

I read through that 3 times thinking I missed something. An idea scrapped early on is hardly a decision to remove someone from the show. I kept waiting for you to say who the person was they removed.

Jesus, your writing has always been clickbaity dude but until this I didn't specifically think it was BAD. If you pose a question or point, answer it clearly. Lose the waffle.

I just hope they don’t shoehorn in that She-Hulk cgi abomination.

There is only one other mcu hero i want in dd and its spidey. From netflix though, i think having jessica jones appear in this will work especially if kingpin is mayor. Matt is gonna need help gathering evidence and dirt on him

@CaptainFlapjaks - due to Sony contract stuff , doesn’t appear like he can show up in these shows but hopefully Matt shows up again for a bigger role in 4.
CaptainFlapjaks
CaptainFlapjaks - 8/21/2024, 11:21 AM
@TheVisionary25 - not even as peter? Damn

TheVisionary25 - 8/21/2024, 11:24 AM
@CaptainFlapjaks - don’t think so

Apophis71 - 8/21/2024, 11:49 AM
@CaptainFlapjaks - Even just as Peter Sony holds full rights for live action, same with Miles for that matter so would always need to work a deal with Sony which is always unlikely for a D+ only streaming series. Disney ONLY retains full rights to use Peter and/or Spider-man for animations of upto 30mins per episode, anything else is tied to getting permission from Sony.

Heck even Kingpin Disney only has rights to use him in relation to stories and characters from DD comics, anything outside of that Sony has control with live action and why Hawkeye revolved it's story around Echo's Daredevil comic origin story and then did her own show so as to facilitate exploring his character more (regardless opinions either way on those two shows).

CaptainFlapjaks - 8/21/2024, 11:53 AM
@Apophis71 - maybe maybe not. Im sure a cameo wouldnt be a big deal for them. And if marvel is setting up spidey and dd as the leads for street level stuff then it makes more sense to include him. Or at least try to. Maybe this is all setup for spidey 4. I could see kingpin as the villain for spidey 4. Along with what i hope to be the spider slayers with allistar smythe.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 8/21/2024, 11:58 AM
@CaptainFlapjaks - Still would need permission from Sony, even if not considered a big deal, and opens the door for Sony demanding levels of creative input or demanding a big payout to allow it so...

...I'd have loved if it happens but keeping the focus more on DD setting up appearing in Spider-Man is good enough for me and likely they would easily get away with references to Peter/Spidey in the show without much problem if it makes narrative sense to do so.

Kamala being in Born Again if true could have been interesting…

It would have been nice to see her dynamic with Matt but she might not have entirely fit the darker tone of the show either hence I can see that being the reason she was “cut”.

I’m glad the tie is still there though with Yusuf who has a small business owner is the kind of person Matt would help.

@TheVisionary25 - i dont think her character works in dd. She is too bubly and her powerset is too op for a street level show. I feel like kate bishop could work though. Especially since she already fought kingpin.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/21/2024, 11:26 AM
@CaptainFlapjaks - yeah , I agree

Maybe they could tone down the bubliness if she does show up but the power set then might make it still feel out of line

Someone like Kate could work better

@TheVisionary25 - honestly i would love it if hawkeye appeared. It would be a nice treat after his accident

Ms. Marvel is great...but not a good tonal fit for Daredevil
allwalledup
allwalledup - 8/21/2024, 3:15 PM
Ms Marvel would be such a weird choice for a show that is so tonally different, but I’m perplexed as to why they rehired the pedophile actor who played her father tho.

@dagenspear - https://insidethemagic.net/2022/12/mcu-star-accused-of-sexual-assault-and-grooming-15-year-old-kb1/

Their relationship led to Kapur talking with her for days nonstop and reportedly sending illicit pictures of himself to her one day. He apologized and explained that he was depressed, but after he was forgiven, he constantly shared about how he wanted to marry her, sleep with her after she turned 18, and said he was in love with the teenage girl."

Wait what!? I havnt heard or read anything about this. Is this true or has it been debunked? If true - Why tf is he still being hired by Disney??? They fired Gina Carano for her opinions, but this creep get to stay??
dagenspear
dagenspear - 8/22/2024, 4:18 AM
@Floke - So it seems it's more than an accusation then? If so, that's way more of an issue to me.
Floke

@dagenspear - Yeah... and "I was depressed" is the worst excuse for sending a d-pick to a minor Ive ever heard.

Show will probably not be nearly as cool as the Netflix stuff was, but good that they removed this character. it will get a little bit better because of it. No offence to the actress, she seems nice.
