Summary

  • Charlie Cox teases a brutal and intense start to Daredevil: Born Again with a life-changing event for Matt Murdock.
  • Daredevil: Born Again promises more violent action scenes than the original Netflix series.
  • Fans anticipate the potential return of other Defenders in the Daredevil reboot on Disney Plus, premiering March 4, 2025.

It’s announced that Matt Murdock, a well-liked character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is set to return. Actor Charlie Cox, who plays him, has shared some insights about the superhero ahead of the release of Daredevil: Born Again.

Weeks before the premiere on Disney Plus, Cox and his co-star Vincent D’Onofrio have been giving interviews. The much-anticipated return of the series is Daredevil, which was canceled after its fourth season on Netflix in 2018. In these interviews, they’ve dropped some hints about the new show, Daredevil: Born Again. Cox mentioned that it will start off with a bang, describing it as intense or brutal. Furthermore, he revealed an interesting detail about his character, Matt Murdock, better known as Daredevil.

In an interview with Extra TV, Cox and D’Onofrio discussed their roles. According to Cox, his character experiences a pivotal moment in the current season that will significantly alter Matt Murdock’s life. He hinted that this incident might cause lasting changes, as he stated, “At the start of this season, there’s a devastating event which will likely leave Matt Murdock unrecognizable.” Despite having reservations about the scene initially, Cox acknowledged its importance for making a powerful statement.

Although I’m not entirely convinced it’s the correct move, it seems crucial that we return with a strong, impactful presence. We’ve been absent for so long, and making a powerful statement could be just what we need to kick-start our ongoing narrative. It also serves as a fantastic motivator for the continuation of our tale.

Besides verifying that the upcoming season is even more ruthless than the Netflix series, Cox discussed the thrilling action sequences viewers can expect from the show. He acknowledged the role of Phil Silvera, their fight choreographer, calling him “remarkable” and stating they were “fortunate” to have him on board for the project. He also hinted at specific episodes fans should anticipate, one featuring D’Onofrio’s character, kingpin Wilson Fisk. “There are some memorable moments,” Cox stated. “The first episode includes a distinctive scene that serves as our signature, and later, in Episode 6 perhaps, there’s an action sequence that mirrors events happening within Wilson Fisk’s narrative, which is quite fascinating, something we haven’t attempted before.” D’Onofrio also expressed his satisfaction with the project. “I don’t believe we could have created a better show with the resources available,” he said.

The eagerly anticipated series titled “Daredevil: Born Again” promises a thrilling, action-filled journey. Moreover, it’s not only intense but also brutal and raw. During an interview on the Phase Hero podcast, Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios’ Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation, hinted that the new Daredevil installment could be one of the most violent productions they’ve ever created.

Another intriguing aspect for fans is the possible reappearance of the Defenders — Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as Luke Cage, and Finn Jones as Iron Fist. Given that their previous shows were abruptly concluded, their return to “Daredevil: Born Again” could enrich the series. Since Marvel Studios terminated its agreement with Netflix, all characters are now under Disney Plus, which means that the shelved sequels might be reconsidered.

However, some fans might not welcome the appearance of the Defenders in the Daredevil reboot and would rather see them starring in their own series again. Nonetheless, even a brief cameo by them in “Daredevil: Born Again” could excite fans and spark interest in reviving the other three canceled shows.

Daredevil: Born Again premieres on Disney Plus on March 4, 2025.
