    Eiza González Denies Elektra Casting Rumors for ‘Daredevil’s Disney+ Series

    You know that casting rumors can reach a new level of insanity when an actress has to confirm they aren’t involved in any way directly on Twitter. Eiza González has been rumored to potentially take on the role of Elektra in the upcoming Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again.

    It’s uncertain where the rumor started but the reaction has not been great with many mad at a potential recasting of Elodie Yung from the Netflix run of Daredevil. It seems that the negativity surrounding this rumor has reached a boiling point for the actress to outright deny any castings on Twitter; highlighting she’s already busy with Netflix’s adaptation of Three-Body Problem.

    One cannot deny the extent that some rumors circulating online nowadays. They even led to negative reactions surrounding projects focused on the multiverse, as fan favorites didn’t show up leading to some online upset about them not showing up as “was promised.” The online discourse has changed quite a bit since the pandemic first hit and expectations have skyrocketed after a long drought.

    While some managed to offer exactly what some rumors hinted at, such as Spider-Man: No Way Home, other projects have the weight of the world on their shoulders. Daredevil has become quite popular online through his adventure on Netflix, which also sets a very specific expectation for what defines that character and his world. So, the weight on anyone involved with the project won’t be trivial.

  • Charlie Cox Wants More Lawyering In ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Than In Netflix Show

    Charlie Cox Wants More Lawyering In ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Than In Netflix Show

    Daredevil: Born Again will reintroduce Charlie Cox’s titular hero alongside longtime foe Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin. The upcoming Disney+ series will also make streaming service history with its 18-episode run, the first time a Marvel Cinematic Universe show has done so. Aside from a newly revealed logo at D23 Expo, plot details for Daredevil: Born Again remain sparse, but Cox has already stated that this is a new beginning, with new ideas, and will not be connected to the previous Netflix series.

    Daredevil is set to make his next MCU appearance in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which is fitting considering both Matt Murdock and Jennifer Walters are lawyers. Still, it has been confirmed that She-Hulk will not be setting up Born Again. That does not mean that Murdock will not embrace his legal roots going forward.

    In fact, speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Cox said he wants the new series to be more focused on Murdock’s day job as a lawyer, similar to how the first season of the Netflix show was before it started telling more Daredevil stories. With the new show’s extended episode count of 18 episodes, he hopes there will be more time for character beats while maintaining all of the superhero action. The actor stated:

    We know there’s going to be 18 episodes, and that’s kind of mind blowing to me, so there’s even more content than we were doing before, which at the time, felt like a lot. What I hope that does is give us longer to really live in the characters and to spend more time in Matt Murdock’s world as a lawyer and still have all the cool Daredevil superhero stuff, but to really live in his world and ground the show in the day-to-day life of someone who’s a lawyer, I think could be really interesting.

    MCU fans will get some experience with the legal side of the MCU in She-Hulk, so it will be interesting to see if it expands beyond that series. Daredevil: Born Again is set to premiere in Spring 2024 on Disney+.

  • Charlie Cox Teases ‘Daredevil’s Disney+ Series May Return to Film in New York

    Charlie Cox Teases ‘Daredevil’s Disney+ Series May Return to Film in New York

    If there ever was one thing that made the Netflix series stand out, it was the fact that they filmed most of the film on location in New York City. Especially for Daredevil, it was the perfect touch given the character’s strong ties to the streets of Hell’s Kitchen. With a new Disney+ series on the horizon, many wondered if Marvel would rely heavily on its usual shooting locations like Atlanta. They have filmed sequences of Hawkeye in New York City but it didn’t mean they’d do the same for Daredevil: Born Again.

    Luckily, it seems Charlie Cox may have revealed that they do plan on filming in NYC again during a follow-up interview after the D23 Marvel Studios panel. They may have held back on what the Daredevil Disney+ show has to offer, mostly giving us a reunion between him and Vincent D’Onofrio, it still looks like that reunion on set is what Cox is most excited for. And while discussing that very point, he may have let slip that they’re eyeing a production start in New York, which is confirmed to start sometime next year.

    There’s going to be a day at some point in the future, where I am going to be in New York, I am going to show up to work. I am going to put on my costume and walk on set with him. And that’s going to be an momentous occasion. I am emotional just thinking about it.

    Charlie Cox

    We still don’t know if many other actors from the original series will be joining them in one capacity or another. There’s a lot of hope that they’ll reunite Cox with Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson. Some even hope to see other members of The Defenders Saga make a return in this project. With 18 episodes planned, the longest for any Marvel series so far, there’s a lot that can happen.

  • D’Onofrio Teases ‘Daredevil: Born Again,’ Promises ‘Incredible’ Take

    D’Onofrio Teases ‘Daredevil: Born Again,’ Promises ‘Incredible’ Take

    With D23 officially in the past, the waiting game for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe slate moves forward. With that in mind, one of the most heavily anticipated projects for Phase Five of the MCU is Daredevil: Born Again. Audiences have long been clamoring for Charlie Cox to reprise his role of Matthew Murdock in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the cancellation of the original Netflix series in 2018. And by the point in which casual fans had generally resided themselves to the notion that the Netflix universe of characters was fully finished, Marvel Studios dropped two bombshells late last year with the return of Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk in Hawkeye. And now following Charlie Cox’s upcoming involvement in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Matt Murdock will once again star in his own series with Born Again.

    Following D’Onofrio‘s return in Hawkeye, his fate was left in question with the finale of the Disney+ series. It has since been confirmed, however, that Wilson Fisk will be involved with both Echo and Daredevil: Born Again. And when it comes to Born Again, D’Onofrio has been outspoken in his excitement for his involvement with Charlie Cox. In a tweet today, the actor discussed his return and has promised fans that the revival will be worth the wait.

    It certainly is a lofty promise from Vincent D’Onofrio about Daredevil: Born Again. Though with three times the episode count of the other Marvel Studios Disney+ franchises and the quality of most of the original Netflix series, it’s certainly not impossible to match. The concept of these characters being fully present in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the larger-than-life nature of the franchise certainly could become a major point of interest. At this time, not much is known about what Born Again may entail and if anyone else from the original Netflix series (or other Marvel Netflix franchises) will be involved.

    Daredevil: Born Again is currently scheduled to begin filming next year and release its 18-episode run in the Spring of 2024.

    D23 has just started but it looks like some small details are already finding their way online even with some time until to the actual conference tomorrow by Marvel Studios. As shared by @BRMarvelNews, it looks like new logos for Daredevil: Born Again and Captain America: New World Order have been spotted. The Daredevil logo includes the iconic DD that the character usually wears on his chest plate while Captain America has elements from Sam Wilson’s new suit.

  • Rosario Dawson Hopes to Return for ‘Daredevil: Born Again’

    Rosario Dawson Hopes to Return for ‘Daredevil: Born Again’

    Once thought to be a lost remnant of Marvel Television, the character of Daredevil has become a recent and sudden mainstay in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Between the addition of a second brief scene with the character in the theatrical re-release of Spider-Man: No Way Home and the anticipation for his involvement in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Charlie Cox’s portrayal of the character has become a major talking point for the online fan landscape. The gradual return of Matthew Murdock is ultimately set to culminate in the revival series of Daredevil: Born Again, which is currently set to arrive on Disney+ in the Spring of 2024.

    A major question being discussed is how much of the supporting ensemble of the original Netflix series (or any of the shows set within that specific pocket of the universe) will be returning for the show. At this time, it’s only confirmed that Charlie Cox will return in the titular role and that Vincent D’Onofrio will return to portray Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. The Kingpin. Though if she had her way with the series, actress Rosario Dawson would like to return to her role of Claire Temple. The actress sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss her desire to return for Daredevil: Born Again and be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    Oh yeah. For sure. You don’t even see her in that last ‘tell Claire to go home’ moment on Luke Cage. So what is that? You know it’s terrible. So, yeah, I’d be super curious, but I’m just so stoked for everybody, though. It’s been a long time coming. I was really excited to know that all of our shows are actually part of the MCU now, with Charlie [Cox] and Vincent [D’Onofrio] coming over into these different projects now. So, yeah, 18 episodes [of Daredevil: Born Again]? I’m there! Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, they know where I am.

    Rosario Dawson

    It’s not a massive surprise for someone working in the entertainment industry to have a desire to be part of a marquee franchise project. And she already has a working connection with Disney through her recent involvement in the Hulu series Dopesick and her widespread involvement as the live-action Ahsoka Tano in the greater Star Wars universe. It ultimately remains to be seen if a return in Daredevil: Born Again will happen, but it certainly will have people talking even more in anticipation of the series.
