Following what was described in the trades as a creative overhaul on the project, Daredevil: Born Again recently restarted production in New York City. With the additions of Wilson Bethel, Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll to the cast, many had begun to question just how much of the original story–and cast–for the new series made the cut after Dario Scardapane took over as showrunner. As the days have gone by, it’s starting to seem as though the initial wave of changes aren’t overwhelming and now another actress whose role in the series had been in question has been seen on set.
Following a daytime shoot where Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio shared a table at the Square Diner, Cox was captured during an evening shoot with actress Margarita Levieva.
Levieva joined the cast of Daredevil: Born Again in December 2022, ahead of the initial round of production that took place before the WGA and SAG strikes shut it down. The actress, who is set to play Heather Glenn–one of Matt’s many flings from the comics–had been seen on set before but with Woll’s return, many expected her character’s role to be cut or reduced to make way for Karen Page and Matt to rekindle an old flame. While the set photos do show some kindling, Woll was nowhere to be found during yesterday’s filming.
Reports indicate that 3 new episodes of Daredevil: Born Again are set to be filmed in New York City in the immediate future. Those 3, along with the footage that was shot before the strikes, are said to compose the first part of the series which is expected to hit Disney Plus in 2025.
While Marvel Studios has retconned the events of Marvel Television’s Daredevil into the MCU, the Season 3 finale does create some problems that will need to be resolved in Daredevil: Born Again. After dishing out a hellish beating to Wilson Fisk, Matt Murdock revealed himself as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen and the saw the big man headed off to prison. So how does someone like Fisk end up running forayor of NYC? Presumably those issues will be addressed in the new Disney Plus series and maybe Matt and Fisk will…chat about it over coffee?
A new photo from the New York City set of Daredevil: Born Again might just show that conversation as stars Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio were caught sharing a table at a diner.
X user OT_Tristan caught the stars, and at least one body double, in the Square Diner and it appears the two are at least amicable. Given it’s the middle of the day, Murdock isn’t wearing any of his many possible DD outfits but rather looks like he’s fresh out of the courtroom. We’ll have to wait until 2025 to find out what the two longtime enemies are talking about but hopefully it’s related to their last onscreen chat in Season 3 of Daredevil.
It’s official. DC Studios has a brand new Supergirl.
On Monday, Deadline confirmed that Milly Alcock had been selected as the new Supergirl for James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe. While rumors have suggested she’ll appear in Superman: Legacy, Deadline notes that has not yet been confirmed. Alcock will, however, make an appearance somewhere before ultimately headlining her own solo film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
Alcock, who is best known as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in HBO’s House of the Dragon, managed to beat out CODA actress Emilia Jones and Meg Donnelly. Donnelly, who was said to be among the finalists earlier this month, has previously voiced the character for DC’s animated films, Legion of Superheroesand Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part One.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow was initially announced in November 2023. At the time, it was revealed that Ana Nogueira would pen the screenplay as part of DC’s studio press day. As it stands, there is currently not a director attached to the project.
Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts film has added Geraldine Viswanathan to its cast. The actor will replace Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), who was forced to depart the project due to scheduling conflicts. She joins fellow new addition, Lewis Pullman, who has replaced Steven Yeun who was also forced to depart the project earlier in the month for scheduling conflicts.
Viswanathan’s star has been on the rise since starring in Universal’s Blockers. She’s starred in projects such as TBS’ Miracle Workers, The Beanie Bubble, and Cat Person. She is set to star in Ethan Coen’s Drive Away Dolls and the Amazon comedy You’re Cordially Invited.
Production on the movie is expected to begin in March/April. The cast includes Wyatt Russell as US Agent, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, and Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster. Jake Schreier will direct the film. It is currently slated to hit theaters in July 2025.
After more rounds of shuffling and reshuffling than anyone cares to count, it seems as though Marvel Studios has settled on a plan for the remainder of the Multiverse Saga. While it seems more likely than not that things will shift around again, the latest update to Disney’s theatrical slate shows 1 film in 2024 (Deadpool 3), 4 films in 2025 (Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four and Blade) and 4 in 2026 before getting to Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027. Should Marvel Studios somehow stick to that schedule, that leaves one untitled film between Blade and Avengers: The Kang Dynasty/Avengers 5 and two more untitled films between Avengers: The Kang Dynasty/Avengers 5.
Rumors suggest that Deadpool 3 will do some heavy lifting in terms of advancing the overall narrative of the Multiverse Saga but what other projects NEED to happen before the big finale? What projects WILL happen because they’re the most ready to roll? We take a look at what 2026 might look like if nothing were to change between now and then and how it gets us all to Avengers: Secret Wars.
February 13, 2026: Armor Wars
With the news that Marvel Studios is finally searching for a director for the film, it would seem that Armor Wars is the most likely project to be on deck which means it would have the best chance of being ready to hit theaters in February 2026. That slot would make it the last film to hit theaters before Avengers 5. Guardians of the Galaxy was the last film fans saw in theaters before Avengers: Age of Ultron, so there’s precedent for a non-related film to precede an Avengers films.
Armor Wars doesn’t seem like the kind of film that would have a direct impact on the plot of Avengers 5 but there are plenty of unknowns about the film that could change that perception. Originally conceived as a streaming series, Armor Wars reportedly got too big for D+; presumably, there’s an interesting reason why and maybe that has factored into it getting moved down the road a bit. Could some of the events of Captain America: Brave New World lead into Armor Wars? What about Ironheart? Those are things we might not know for well over a year but regardless, Don Cheadle’s solo Rhodey flick seems like a good bet to fall here and potentially be a step in the direction of assembling the MCU’s New Avengers.
May 1, 2026: Avengers: The Kang Dynasty
The only 2026 film on the slate with a title, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is currently being written by Michael Waldron.
July 24, 2026: Shang-Chi 二
Destin Daniel Cretton’s departure from Avengers: The Kang Dynasty could be taken to mean that his sequel to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was going to need to be ready to go as a follow-up to the fifth Avengers film (it could also mean it needs to be ready to be the lead up to Avengers 5 but we’re staying the course here…). Cretton’s work on Wonder Man will keep him tied up for the first half of 2024 but he’s been working on the script for quite some time and it’s very likely that not only will this one be ready to begin production in 2025 but that it is one of the KEY films in the Multiverse Saga and that it NEEDS to release before the MCU starts its Secret Wars.
The one project on this list that the least is known about, Doctor Strange 3 also feels like one project that absolutely has to be part of the Multiverse Saga. While Marvel Studios is developing plenty of other projects that could easily roll out AFTER they wrap up their current saga, it would be incredibly strange not to have Doctor Strange’s next film play a crucial role in sorting things out.
Strange has been described as a key figure in the Multiverse Saga, yet so far he’s had some animated appearances (Seasons 1 and 2 of What If…?),a cameo (Spider-Man: No Way Home), one solo film which only truly served as a set up to whatever comes next (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness). Adding a second Strange film to the Saga–even in some sort of larger crossover event–would allow the character to be used similarly to how Captain America was in the Infinity Saga.
May 7, 2027: Avengers: Secret Wars
The final film of the Multiverse Saga, Avengers: Secret Wars–like Avengers: The Kang Dynasty–is currently being written by Michael Waldron.
The Denouement of the Multiverse Saga
Should Marvel Studios stick to its current theatrical slate, the projects listed above truly seem to make the most sense and provide the path of least resistance to the big conclusion in 2027. Again, it seems far more likely that Marvel Studios’ Multiverse Saga slate will undergo at least one more round of restructuring; however, for once it seemed like a fun idea to play it by the books at take things at face value.
As production on Daredevil: Born Again resumed last week in New York City, set photos flooded social media. While some were more spoilery than others (and other were more spoilery than you know), they combined to give fans a first look at the newly retooled series. One of the more interesting and revelatory BTS pictures confirmed that one of Daredevil’s most psychotic rogues, the deranged serial killer Muse, would indeed be part of the series.
Though the set photo showed some of Muse’s signed street art depicting Wilson Fisk’s Kingpin, some fans weren’t convinced that the psycho killer would show up. However, a set video from X user Finn erases any doubt.
Here’s the last daredevil thing I recorded. I think it’s supposed to be muse drawing the kingpin graffiti but the actor is a body double from what I can tell. Then they shot a bunch of background characters doing things pic.twitter.com/sRVLBTOT9u
The description of the scene matches a casting call that circulated ahead of filming which called for an experienced graffiti artist to serve as a body double. If some informed speculation is true and the cast hasn’t changed since December 2022, the person in question would be doubling for actor Colin Woodell, who joined the cast in an unknown role ahead of the initial round of production.
While Wilson Fisk is a big enough threat to Daredevil and his allies, Muse throws an entirely different type of threat entirely. A serial killer who uses his victims’ blood and body parts to create art, Muse was first introduced in Charles Soule’s run on Daredevil, which is believed to be one source of inspiration for Daredevil: Born Again. It remains to be seen just how much of a role Muse will play but it’s now clear he’ll be on the streets causing chaos when the series hits Disney Plus in 2025.
Marvel Studios have certainly taken their time developing the Mahershala Ali-led Blade reboot. First announced at SDCC ’19, the project came as a shockingly wonderful surprise…and then the world went to hell. Nearly four and a half years, one global pandemic and two major Hollywood work stoppages later, production on the film still hasn’t gotten underway and, in fact, has been delayed multiple times. However, all signs point to principal photography finally getting underway sometime late in 2024 and now a new rumor about the film is sure to provide some much-needed hope about the state of the project.
According to insider Daniel RPK, after having multiple writers work on the script (current writer Michael Green is the sixth scribe to work on the screenplay) it sounds as though they’ve found their story and it sounds fairly badass!
In November 2023, director Yann Demange told Deadline that Marvel Studios had given him the green light to make Blade an R-rated film. “They gave me the R, which is so important,” said Demange, adding that “we are going to have fun because Mahershala is such a deep actor.” “I’m excited to show a kind of ruthlessness, a roughness he has, that allows him to walk the earth in a particular way. I love him for that. He’s got a dignity and integrity, but there is a ferocity there that he usually keeps under the surface. I want to unleash that and put it on the screen.” he explained. The new rumor from Daniel RPK lines up with Demange’s R-rated comment and gives some insight into exactly what Ali’s Daywalker will be up against.
The rumor states that Blade will be a period piece and will have ties to one of the MCU’s most confusing post-credit scenes. Apparently the film’s plot will revolve around an attempt by the villain Lilith–played by horror queen Mia Goth–to gather up the blood of Blade’s daughter in an effort to create an army of Daywalkers. To make things more interesting, Goth’s baddie will reportedly weild the mysterious Ebony Blade, first seen in the MCU in The Eternals. In the mid-credit scene, Kit Harrington‘s Dane Whitman was revealed to be in possession of the sword, which was shown to have some fascinating properties. Just as Whitman was about to pick it up, he was stopped by Ali’s Blade, who was not seen, only heard.
Following the release of The Eternals, Marvel Studios executive producer Nate Moore explained how the studio came to connect Blade to the sword. “Cause the Ebony Blade, the characteristics of the Ebony Blade are not dissimilar to some degree to vampirism and we think that’s an interesting kind of thing to play with,” explained Moore. Now it sounds as though Blade will establish a MUCH clearer connection to the stinger scene though it’s not believed that Harrington will play a role in the film.
Blade is currently slated for a November 7, 2025 release.
As the world waits on the answer to the most important question inhistory–who will make up Marvel Studios’ First Family?–an interesting tidbit of news about the script for Fantastic Four has emerged.
Neustadter and Weber have worked together on several projects included Daisy Jones & the Six, Hulu’s Rosaline and The Disaster Artist. According to the report, they have not been brought in to rewrite the script from page one but simply to take a pass at it. Given their filmography, it seems likely they’re adding some comedic touches to Friedman’s sci-fi script.
As one might expect, filming a highly anticipated Marvel Studios streaming series on the streets of New York City can draw quite a bit of attention. As was the case when Hailee Steinfeld was first spotted on the NYC set of Hawkeye in NYC in December 2020, production on Daredevil: Born Again has borne significant set photo fruit. Already, fans got a peek at a Kingpin mural signed by psycho killer Muse and their first look at what’s almost certainly costumed vigilante White Tiger. Now, fans of Marvel Television’s Daredevil got their money shot…
A BTS video of an early evening shoot in New York City revealed the first look at star Charlie Cox reuniting on set with Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll. After originally being either left out or appearing in a greatly reduced role in the series, Henson and Woll were brought back as Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, respectively, after a creative retooling on the series.

The video shows the trio walking out of the law office of Nelson, Murdock and Page, the firm the first named on a napkin in the Daredevil series finale.
A recent rumor indicated that Woll’s role in the series would be limited to a 3-episode arc. With baddies like Muse and Bullseye on the prowl, it’ll be interesting to see if either of them is behind her character’s short stint in the series.
Some episodes of Daredevil: Born Again are expected to stream on Disney Plus in 2025.
It has long been rumored that Daredevil: Born Again would feature another costumed vigilante and a new video from the New York City set of the Disney Plus series may have given fans thier first look… though it may not be exactly what rumors led many to believe.
POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD
The video, shared by X user @porgomomics shows a costumed character standing just inside an NYC store. Dressed in white with black stripes all over the suit and helmet, it’s very possible this is the first look at White Tiger.
While.its hard to make you anything for certain, it does appear as though it may be a male inside the suit which would lead to the assumption that Daredevil: Born Again will feature Hector Ayala, the first character to take on the mantle of White Tiger in the comics.
Rumors that White Tiger would appear in Daredevil: Born Again date back to November 2022, though those rumors often proposed that a female had been cast in the role, leading fans to expect an appearance by Ava Ayala, Hector’s niece in the comics. Another rumor that surfaces recently indicated that the series was set to adapt the Marvel Comics The Trial of the Century arc in which Matt Murdock represented Hector Ayala who was on trial as White Tiger for murder. This, of course, lines up neatly both with what little is seen in the set video/photo and with Wilson Fisk’s anit-vigilante platform in hisayoral campaign.
