  • ‘Daredevil Born Again’ Set Photos May Confirm a Popular Season 2 Theory

    ‘Daredevil Born Again’ Set Photos May Confirm a Popular Season 2 Theory

    After some time out of the public eye, production on Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again hit the streets of New York once more and may have confirmed a growing theory about the role Wilson Bethel’s Bullseye might play.

    Following an action scene filmed in public in early April, fans began to believe that Season 2 may see Bullseye teaming up with Daredevil to take on Mayor Kingpin. While that would make for some uncomfortable moments, Bullseye has no love for Fisk and Matt Murdock is in no position to turn down help. Now, new photos captured from the set show the two frenemies together again…and it’s clear some time has passed.

    Shared by @_DaredevilShots, the new images reveal battered battle-buddies and a closer look at Matt’s gear gives the impression that the right against Kingpin has been raging on for quite some time. A side-by-side comparison with Matt’s suit from the April set photos shows that the black paint job has significantly worn away, revealing more of the original red suit.

    At last check in April, Episodes 3 and 4 were being filmed, which would bring the second season to its halfway mark. It’s unclear if the recent shots are from those episodes or if production has progressed beyond at this point; however, it would seem that Matt’s fight against Fisk hasn’t gone well up to wherever in the season these photos are from and, eventually, he’s going to need to find further help in taking down the Fat Man.

  • ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Star Addresses Marvel Television’s Plans for the Streaming Series

    ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Star Addresses Marvel Television’s Plans for the Streaming Series

    Against all odds, Daredevil: Born Again delivered a frustratingly fantastic season, arguably the best in the series history dating back to its 2015 Netflix origins. Showrunner Dario Scardapane, who took over mid-production, found a way to utilize the pre-overhaul material while steering the revival back into the familiar and bloody waters fans were asking for in the season’s final two episodes.

    Daredevil: Born Again is, from start to finish, a fantastic series. With its hero and its villain equally saturated in blood and emotional trauma, the show examines the futility of pursuing sustainable change without addressing the deeply nested layers of human behavior.

    Scardapane’s finale left New York City–and the Man Without Fear–in a very dark place as Mayor Kingpin declared Martial Law and his Anti-vigilante Task Force rounded up the City’s heroes. Those developments set up a very tough path for Matt Murdock in Season 2, which was already well into production by the time Season 1 wrapped its run on D+. With he sophomore season looking as if it will draw inspiration from Marvel Comics recent Devil’s Reign event, it seems clear that yet another confrontation between Daredevil and Kingpin is inevitable. And with Daredevil: Born Again set up as Marvel Television’s flagship IP in its new approach to developing and releasing series, it sounds as though there’s much more story left to tell in and around Hell’s Kitchen…maybe.

    Season 2 will come out next year, and then hopefully season 3 and season infinity after that. I think this world is extremely rich, and there are many stories to be told on the streets of New York.

    -Brad Winderbaum

    In an interview with Awards Buzz, series’ co-star Vincent D’Onofrio explained that while the studio does have plans to move forward with a third season of Daredevil: Born Again, fans are going to have to continue their strong support for the project to ensure it continues.

    “If they let us do it, we have a plan,” said D’Onofrio. “It is up to the fans to watch and to get excited. And it is up to us to please them and get the story right. We are looking forward in a big way.“

    D’Onofrio’s comments are hardly surprising as now, more than ever, studios are making decisions based on viewership and online responses to projects. That said, a third season of the series feels like a very sure thing given the passionate fan base and the interest of its stars to move ahead.

  • ‘Pacific Rim’ Live-Action Series Set at Amazon

    ‘Pacific Rim’ Live-Action Series Set at Amazon

    Amazon is looking to turn Pacific Rim into its next big television series. Variety announced on Thursday that Amazon’s MGM Studios has teamed up with Legendary Television to develop a live action Pacific Rim series for the small screen. The news comes after it was revealed last year that the project was previously in development at Legendary. Amazon has hired Eric Heisserer to serve as the writer and executive producer; he will develop the project under his Chronology production banner.

    Heisserer is coming off the Netflix series, Shadow & Bone, where he served as the writer, executive producer, and showrunner of the series based on the Grishaverse novels by bestselling author Leigh Bardugo. Along with Shadow & Bone, Heisserer previously penned the hit Netflix series, Bird Box, as well as titles including the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Lights Out.

    The first Pacific Rim movie was released in 2013 and hailed from Guillermo del Toro, who also penned the film alongside Travis Beacham. The movie, which focused on a war between human-operated Jaegers and Kaujus that managed to break into our world and attack humanity, only earned $411 million worldwide. However, it would go on to spawn a sequel with 2018’s Pacific Rim: Uprising, a Netflix animated series with Pacific Rim: The Black, and comic books, novels, and more.

  • Lucasfilm Reveals ‘Tales of the Underworld’ Ahead of Star Wars Day Release

    Lucasfilm Reveals ‘Tales of the Underworld’ Ahead of Star Wars Day Release

    Following the success of the previous two installments in its Tales anthology series, fans had been speculating about when another round of episodes might hit and also about which corner of the galaxy far, far away they might visit. Lucasfilm addressed both concerns with one surprise announcement, revealing the next batch of animated episodes will be streaming sooner than anyone might have imagined.

    In a press release and social media rollout, Lucasfilm revealed that Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld, will premiere on Disney+ on May 4th. The new episodes will feature fan favorite bounty hunters Cad Bane, last seen in The Book of Boba Fett, and Asajj Ventress, last seen in Season 3 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch.

    Tales of the Underworld focuses on the criminal underbelly of the Star Wars galaxy through the experiences of two iconic villains. Former assassin and bounty hunter Asajj Ventress is given a new chance at life and must go on the run with an unexpected new ally, while outlaw Cad Bane faces his past when he confronts an old friend, now a Marshal on the opposite side of the law.

    -Synopsis for Star Wars: Tales of the Underwolrd

    While the synopsis doesn’t clarify and previous installments of the anthology have taken full advantage of skipping around through time, it seems as though the episodes featuring Ventress will take place after her appearance in The Bad Batch AND, possibly, post-Order 66. Nika Futterman returns as the voice of Ventress, who, it seems, will be looking after Jedi Lyco Strata, voiced by Lane Factor, protecting him from Troopers and also what looks to be a brand new Imperial Inquisitor.

    Corey Burton will return as the voice of Cad Bane and given the relatively grim nature of his last appearance, one would be inclined to believe these episodes are set before The Book of Boba Fett. Bane looks to be out to settle a score with an old friend-turned-foe in fellow Duros, Niro, voiced by Artt Butler.

    The talented voice cast also includes AJ LoCascio, who has voiced Han Solo in the past, Clare Grant, the voice of Latts Razzi in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Dawn-Lyen Gardner, the voice of Steela Gerrera, and Eric Lopez, who has voiced both Iron Squadron member Jonner Jin and Imperial Cadet Nazhros Oleg in Star Wars Rebels.

  • Finn Jones Wants Another Chance at Iron Fist

    Finn Jones Wants Another Chance at Iron Fist

    When Daredevil first debuted on Netflix a decade ago, the series proved to be a promising start for the streaming service’s planned Defenders universe. Jessica Jones and Luke Cage would follow soon after, delivering solid storytelling and fantastic casting that had pleased many fans. Then there was Iron Fist. After it was revealed that Finn Jones, who at the time was best known for his work on Game of Thrones, fans were a bit skeptical, having voiced their concerns over Jones and the depiction of Danny Rand on the small screen. Despite the understandable discourse surrounding Jones’ casting, the actor starred as Iron Fist for two seasons, while also appearing in The Defenders alongside Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage. Sadly, though, the character has yet to reappear within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    Now that Charlie Cox and Jon Bernthal have reprised their roles as Daredevil and Punisher, respectively, fans are ready to see the rest of the Defenders make their way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe proper. Rumors have already circulated that Krysten Ritter will reprise her role as Jessica Jones, and Mike Colter has expressed mixed feelings in returning as Luke Cage, although he has suggested talks haven’t occurred — at least yet. One actor who hasn’t been brought up much, though, is Finn Jones.

    During an appearance at the LaConve anime convention in Mexico, Jones expressed his interest in returning as Iron Fist, stating “I’m very aware of the critiques of the character and my role in it. My response to that is like, give me a fucking chance, man. I’m here and I’m ready. I want to prove people wrong. So I would love to see that happen.”

    Marvel Studios’ streaming and TV boss Brad Winderbaum has previously suggested that the rest of the Defenders could very well be brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Charlie Cox‘s return as Daredevil. In fact, Winderbaum suggested the studio was actively exploring the possibilities of such and has gone on to express excitement over getting to play in that sandbox that was once off limits due to the contract with Netflix. Rumors have previously suggested Marvel Studios intended to bring back Ritter and Colter, but that the return of Jones was unlikely. For now, fans will have to wait and see what happens with Iron Fist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it’s clear Jones is eager to jump back into the role of Rand should he ever get the call.

  • Nathan Fillion Has Joined the Cast of ‘Lanterns’

    Nathan Fillion Has Joined the Cast of ‘Lanterns’

    Nathan Fillion has officially joined the cast of HBO’s Lanterns. The actor, who is set to portray Guy Gardner in this Summer’s Superman, will reprise his role in the HBO series. The news was reported on Monday afternoon, with Deadline suggesting the actor has, perhaps unsurprisingly, long been attached to the project for some time. Fillion is no stranger to Gardner, having voiced the character in numerous animated projects for DC, including Green Lantern: Emerald Knight and Reign of Superman.

    HBO’s Lanterns series, which is inspired by DC Comics’ characters, focuses on Hal Jordan and John Stewart, two intergalactic cops who ultimately find themselves drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland. Lanterns will consist of eight-episodes, and hails from Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof and comics writer, Tom King. Mundy, who is the showrunner, co-wrote the series with Lindelof and King. All three will serve as executive producers on the project.

    The HBO series is currently in production and is set to be headlined by Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre, as Hal Jordan and John Stewart, respectively. It will also star Kelly MacDonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Jasmine Cephas Jones and Ulrich Thomsen. Episodes of Lanterns are confirmed to be directed by James Hawes, Stephen Williams, Geeta Vasant Patel, and Alik Sakharov. As of right now, the series does not yet have a release date announced.

  • ‘Manhunt’, ‘Outer Range’ Star Joins Season 2 of ‘Daredevil: Born Again’

    ‘Manhunt’, ‘Outer Range’ Star Joins Season 2 of ‘Daredevil: Born Again’

    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.

  • New ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Set Photos Reveal New, Comic Book Accurate Suit for Season 2

    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.

    https://twitter.com/postmurdock/status/1905075161843277924

    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.

    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.

    https://twitter.com/petergcornell/status/1903254393710956643?t=ZJHmisp3ipx4r94UHwioyw&s=19

    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.
