During D23 2022, Marvel Studios shared a wonderful trailer for the streaming series Ironheart, which at the time was slated to hit Disney Plus in the Fall of 2023. However, as the studio began to reconsider its streaming output, the project’s release date was put on hold. Almost 3 years after the trailer was shared with attendees in Anaheim, the studio has still not officially shared anything with the public…but now, we know when to expect the first trailer and that the studio is coming out swinging when the series debuts on June 24th.
Set after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Marvel Television’s Ironheart pits technology against magic when Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne)—a young, genius inventor determined to make her mark on the world—returns to her hometown of Chicago. Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Parker Robbins aka “The Hood” (Anthony Ramos).
-Official Synopsis for Marvel Television’s Ironheart
Via social media, the studio revealed that the first trailer for Ironheart will debut on May 14th and that the series, produced by Ryan Coogler, will open with a three-episode premiere.
Ryan Coogler and the filmmakers of Marvel Television’s #Ironheart go behind the scenes of the all-new series.
For some, the first four episodes of Daredevil: Born Again fell short of expectations. Others, it turned out, enjoyed the lighter tone and lighter tones. Wherever your tastes fell on that spectrum, with Episode 6, “Excessive Force”, the series pivoted aggressively, starting down a far darker path. Episode 5, “With Interest”, bridged the gap between light and dark, allowing Charlie Cox to collect some serious aura farming, slinging and swinging swag instead of billyclubs but by the time Angela del Toro goes missing, the devil that Matt Murdock let out for a brief romp in the daylight just can’t be out back in the bottle.
Simply enough, “Excessive Force” IS the episode fans of the Netflix series have been waiting for: the renaissance of The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. Complicating the matter, however, is that the rebirth of Daredevil coincides with the rebirth of the Kingpin. With his fractured relationship with Vanessa healing quickly, Wilson Fisk finally lets his darker half resurface. Complicating things for both men is the revelation that the City’s most popular street artist, Muse, is a sadistic serial killer with a body count of at least 60 bodies.
The series has consisted of a series of parallels and the creators allowed those to play out without rushing the inevitable right turn those paths would take, putting the two on an inevitable collision course. As it’s played out, Muse catalyzes collision by becoming something neither man can ignore and neither man can stop without resorting to the depths of their own darkness they had both sworn to leave behind.
In Matt’s case, Muse’s abduction of Angela del Toro forces him back into his armored suit. The result is a violent confrontation with the killer in his lair which Matt clearly enjoys…perhaps a bit too much. For Fisk, Muse’s spree gives him reason enough to pull together a goon squad of corrupt cops, far more akin to the type of people he “worked” with as the Kingpin than NYC’s finest. And, of course, the episode wouldn’t be complete without Fisk resorting to his own use of “excessive force”, reminding the audience of the brutality of the Fat Man…who is getting fat again. It’s taken some time but through the work of an artist with his own distinct style, Daredevil and Kingpin each experience a renaissance that will certainly put them as odds.
As principal photography on the second season of the Disney Plus streaming series Daredevil: Born Again continues in New York City, the project continues to add to its already impressive cast.
With set photos revealing that NYC is under martial law with Mayor Wilson Fisk’s Anti-vigilante Task Force turning the Big Apple into a police state, some political pushback will be necessary and it seems as though Marvel has found an opponent.
According to Deadline, three-time Emmy nominee Lili Taylor has joined the cast as as yet unidentified “political foe” of Fisk.
Taylor’s role looks to have her board as a series regular in the eight-episode second season. After a creative retooling of Season 1, Season 2 will be run, start to finish, by Dario Scardapane with Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead returning to direct a block of episodes.
Without giving too much away about Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again, Charlie Cox‘s Matt Murdock looks to be in for a fight in Season 2. Photos from the set of the sophomore season have revealed Wilson Fisk’s AVTF enforcing martial law in broad daylight at the Mayor’s behest and a black suited Daredevil emerging from the river in an all black suit. Now, a new look at the suit reveals something that comic book traditionalists will love.
A video taken outside of the site used as Josie’s has provided a first look at Daredevil’s new season two suit which is complete with a comic book accurate addition.
Shown entering a very shut-down looking Josie’s, the video reveals a black suit that closely resembles the one worn by the character in the Shadowland event or the “Back in Black” suit from the 2015 Charles Soule and Ron Garney run. A still shot shared on Twitter reveals that the suit comes complete with a “DD” logo on the chest.
Though it’s not expected that Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again will adapt Shadowland, anything is possible. Marvel isn’t exactly known for their direct page-to-screen adaptations but rather cutting and pasting highlights into various projects. And while Shadowland is far from the best Daredevil stories, the Shadowland suit is one of Ol’ Hornhead’s best.
Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again is expected to stream on D+ in 2026.
For no discernible or logical reason at all, fandoms–and in particular Marvel fans–have developed and peculiar and excruciatingly idiotic obsession with runtimes of films and episodes of streaming series. Without ever seeing a Marvel Studios production, a growing breed of fan believes it can judge the quality of that production by its runtime. Ahead of the debut of Daredevil: Born Again, the runtimers focused their faux rage on the series’ fifth episode when a social media source revealed it would only run for a paltry 39 minutes. One month later, “With Interest” hit Disney Plus and while you can’t please everyone, the episode has widely been hailed as one of the best not just of the revival series but of any of Charlie Cox‘s four seasons as The Man Without Fear…but there’s just one problem.
Before addressing that problem–which, like the runtime obsession, seems to be a vestigial construct from the great COVID new media shortage of 2020–all due props must be given to Charlie Cox. As the kids are saying, “With Interest” was essentially an aura showcase for Cox, who flexed every fiber of his formidable talent as the charming and disarming Matt Murdock who has been the focus of the first chunk of the season. Whether in casual conversation with Mohan Kapur‘s Yusuf Khan or distracting the crazy Irish fucks robbing a bank on St. Patrick’s Day (where are the MacManus brothers when you need them?), Cox slayed it as Murdock in the episode. But the time has come for Murdock to take a backseat and let the devil out of the bottle.
Throughout the first four episodes, Matt has slowly been losing control of the devil he’s tried to keep bottled up. In “With Interest”, the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen breaks the bottle, kicks the shit out of some bank robbers and gets back in the habit of saving his city. “With Interest” does in 39 minutes what many of the 39 episodes of the Netflix series couldn’t quite do: deliver a slice-of-life episode that stars its star. And while most critics and fans enjoyed it as a “filler episode”, that’s just not what it is.
“With Interest” certainly fits neatly within the criteria that define a bottle episode: minimal cast, one main location, little-to-no major CGI, etc. However, tagging it as a filler episode is, at best, reductive. Without spoiling the remaining three episodes (Episode 6 aired right after and you’ve already seen it if you’re reading this), Episode 5 serves essentially as a bridge from the bright new life that Matt wanted so badly to live back to the darkness that comes with being Daredevil. For four episodes, Matt fought with all his might to be someone he wasn’t. In “With Interest”, Matt–maybe for the first time in his life–stopped fighting. In cutting from 13 episodes per season to 9 in this first season of Daredevil: Born Again, no room was left for filler. Step back and take a big picture look at what’s been going on and you might just reframe your thoughts about “With Interest” and see it for what it is: a killer, very comic book-like adventure for Matt Murdock before things turn Netflix dark.
For quite some time now, Marvel Studios has been working on bringing a team of young heroes to the MCU. Beginning with WandaVision and continuing on through other projects such as but not limited to Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Agatha All Along, that next generation of heroes has begun to fight its own battles. Then, in 2023’s The Marvels, the studio took its first step in uniting those characters when Kamala Khan did her best Nick Fury impression, sneaking into Kate Bishop’s apartment in an effort to recruit her to an as-yet-unnamed team.
For quite a while, it seemed as though that team was destined to be the Young Avengers; however, in November 2024, a report indicated that with many of the characters rumored to be part of Kamala and Kate’s team not being very young at all, Marvel Television was looking to develop the project as Champions. Now, according to a new report, the studio has locked down a showrunner to develop the project for Disney Plus.
According to Nexus Point News, Rachna Fruchbom has agreed to a deal with Marvel develop Champions as showrunner and executive producer.
Fruchbom wrote 28 episodes of the ABC comedy Fresh Off the Boat before moving on to And Just Like That and, more recently, Shrinking, the Apple TV+ documentary series that follows a group of octogenarian men before, during and after they take the “Polar Bear Plunge.”
While the source is sound, it comes on the heels of the studio halting development on a trio of shows including Nova, which had a showrunner and had even been rumored to begin production later this year. So despite reports that the studio has locked in on its core cast for Champions (Iman Vellani and Hailee Steinfeld, Joe Locke, Dominique Thorne, Kathryn Newton and Xochitl Gomez), it’s worth remembering that Marvel Televison headman Brad Winderbaum has repeatedly explained that the studio is developing far more projects than they will actually produce and that things can change quickly. That said, Champions has been rumored to be on the studio’s 2026 production docket with an eye on releasing it after the completion of the Multiverse Saga.
Production on Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again continues in and around New York City and while nothing too spoilery has been revealed just yet, it does seem as though the sophomore season will find the Big Apple in a dark place…and its hero in a dark suit!
New photos from the set of Daredevil: Born Again have revealed a long-awaited look for Matt Murdock’s hero of Hell’s Kitchen: a new, all black suit complete with what may be a new cowl.
While the pictures aren’t hi-res enough to be sure, it seems as though the suit may be inspired by a suit worn by Daredevil in the 2010 event Shadowland.
After going back to the drawing board to retool its identity, Daredevil: Born Again has yet to feel quite like its streaming predecessor, Netflix’s Daredevil. Whereas some of the 39 episodes that made up the three seasons of the Netflix series often stalled around extended and bloviated dialogue about…well, mostly nothing, the new series seems to have trimmed the majority of that narrative fat.
Episode 4 of Daredevil: Born Again, titled “Sic Semper Systema”, has plenty of dialogue but, as it turns out, not all dialogue is created equally. In what’s unquestionably one of the best scenes of the season–and quite possibly in any season of Daredevil—Jon Bernthal and Charlie Cox share an intense exchange that illuminates each of their characters’ irreparably battered psyches.
Without giving away any detailed spoilers (but if you’ve been paying attention, you’ve already figured this out anyway), each episode of the season has moved both Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk closer to breaking free of their self-imposed shackles. As Wilson’s relationship with Vanessa undergoes repairs, he moves closer and closer to being reborn as the Kingpin. Episode 4 continues the wonderful symbolism of this metamorphosis by continuing to decrease the physical space between husband and wife. Where they previously shared a meal at opposite ends of a large dining table, the couple share a much more intimate nightcap here. With Foggy dead and Karen gone, however, Matt doesn’t have an anchor to his old life and so he turns to the unlikeliest of places to get his bearings.
Nobody in his right mind, of course, would seek out someone so deranged as Frank Castle for therapy; however, Matt is not right-minded and, of course, Catholic and so he goes seeking punishment…and he gets it. In what was a verbal assault on Matt that might stand up to any of the physical beatings the man has taken over the years, Frank Castle showed no mercy on Red and gave no quarter to his still-wounded emotional state. The dialogue between the two men, which took place in Castle’s new underground lair, exposed the underpinnings that make both men tick and Bernthal and Cox put on quite a clinic. Just a couple of crazy fucks talking it out.
In digging at Murdock’s true purpose for seeking him out, Castle revealed the depth of his chaotic and tortured depravity. So thoroughly broken by trauma and tragedy, Frank’s psychotic engine continues to be revved by the belief that it is the will of his murdered son that he continue to kill all the bad guys he can lay his hands on. And while even Frank likely knows that Matt will never break as he did, he does find the breaking point of Matt’s two personalities, challenging to consider a different interpretation of the scales of justice: one that measures the court’s work against Matt’s and, in that moment, Matt gains clarity and regains purpose.
For fans of the Netflix series, this conversation between Matt and Frank should have felt incredibly familiar because it was the type of conversation that Matt used to have with Father Lantom, who was often the sounding board for Matt’s soul before being killed by Bullseye (who Frank addresses by that moniker for the first time here). “Sic Semper Systema” sees Matt walk into a new confessional and bare his soul to a new priest…and this one will hardly help him keep the devil at bay.
With principal photography on Season 2 of Marvel Television’s streaming series Daredevil: Born Again underway in New York City, surprises and spoilers are bound to make their way online. While we’re not quite sure whether this is a spoiler or a surprise or how big of a deal it might be, recent set photos have revealed an addition to the Season 2 cast and it’s a face Law & Order fans may recognize.
Veteran TV actress Annie Parisse, who played Assistant District Attorney Alexandria Borgia for 34 episodes of the long-running NBC drama has joined Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again in an unknown role.
Um novo ângulo mais amplo da FORÇA-TAREFA: ANTIVIGILANTES ontem no sets da Season 2 de #DaredevilBornAgain
Photos taken in New York City on March 18th showed Parisse’s character being detained by Wilson Fisk’s Anti-vigilante Task Force. While the identity of her character remains a mystery, being taken off the streets in broad daylight by Fisk’s dirty cops would lead us to believe her character has some ties to Matt Murdock, Frank Castle or another “vigilante” on the Mayor’s list.
Other photos from the set indicate that in his efforts to did his city of vigilantes, Fisk has improved martial law on New York, much to the displeasure of its populace. Most, if not all, filming done in public so far has been for the second episode of the sophomore season of the series and it seems as though Matt Murdock has gone into hiding, although Charlie Cox was spotted alongside Deborah Ann Woll‘s Karen Page in broad daylight. Given that Fisk is aware of Murdock’s alter ego as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, it might not be long before the Kingpin reveals Murdock’s secret to the world in an effort to drive him out of hiding.
Daredevil: Born Again is expected to stream on D+ in 2026.
Production on Season 2 of Marvel Television’s D+ streaming series Daredevil: Born Again has been underway in New York City for a few weeks and things look bleak for the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen and his allies. Recent photos from a Brooklyn set seem to indicate that Mayor Wilson Fisk’s beloved city has become a bit of a police state. With Fisk’s Anti-vigilante Task Force patroling the streets in broad daylight, Matt Murdock, Frank Castle and others deemed vigilantes by Kingpin have to watch their every step. Now, new photos from the set show what appears to be a clandestine meeting between Matt and his longtime friend Karen Page.
Shared on X by Chris Gallardo (@chrisagwrites), the photos show Charlie Cox‘s Murdock and Deborah Ann Woll‘s Page out for a walk in classic some MCU disguises.
Context: they were preparing for a shot with this woman in the rehearsal scene…
In Cox’s case, it seems it he wears regular old sunglasses, rather than his red-tinted glasses, and pulls up his hood, he’s free to walk the streets despite Fisk knowing his “secret identity.” Even more incredible, it seems by becoming more of a red head, the red headed Page becomes just another face in the crowd!
Those disguises may not hold up to scrutiny, however, as the new shoot does also seem to hint at a potential car chase and, ultimately, a confrontation between Fisk’s AVTF and Matt and Karen.
Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again is now underway, with the first three episodes available on Disney Plus. Season 2 of the revival series will debut on the streaming service in 2026.
