Premiere: March 4, 2025
Following his appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Charlie Cox is expected to appear in several MCU projects spread out over 2022 and 2023. She-Hulk, Echo and Armor Wars are all rumored to feature appearances by the Man Without Fear, but what fans of the character really want is another solo project.
The good news is that a solo project was in the works and could have even started as soon as late 2022. Cox was thrilled to be back in the role and had some strong ideas about what to do with the character next, hoping for a more PG-version of the character.
Although not officially confirmed by Marvel at the time, fans got the next best thing in May 2022 as a trade report broke the news on one of Hollywood’s worst-kept secrets: A Disney+ Daredevil series will indeed be going into production. Charlie Cox will reprise the titular role with Matt Corman and Chris Ord attached to write and executive produce.
The series was officially announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 as Kevin Feige himself confirmed that The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen would be the focus of 18 streaming episodes under the new title Daredevil: Born Again.
In late 2023, Corman and Ord left the project as part of a creative retooling. Shortly after, Dario Scardapane (The Punisher) came on board as showrunner along with the directing duo of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. On January 18, 2024, D’Onofrio revealed that the creative overhaul may have altered the original plan for 18 episodes, though he did not confirm a new episode count for the series.
As production on the series resumed in January 2024, a trio of cast members from the Netflix series were added to the cast after the decision was made to tie Daredevil: Born Again directly to the events of the three seasons of Daredevil. Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll, who are set to reprise their respective roles as Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, and Wilson Bethel, who played Benjamin Pointdexter in Daredevil Season 3, were reported to have smaller supporting roles in the new series.
