Only a few weeks until Daredevil: Born Again hits Disney+ and the streaming platform is preparing fans for what is to come. The official home of the MCU released a up-to-date 30-second spot with all the violence and grit that fans have been hoping for. When the Marvel Netflix series was canceled, it seemed that no one would see Daredevil’s like again. The show was the first adaptation that was faithful to the authenticity of the character. Boardwalk Empire’s Charlie Cox filled the role of Matt Murdock, a lawyer blinded as a child, leading him to develop heightened senses and a fondness for acrobatics. Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson fill out the roster as Karen Page and Foggy Nelson respectively. These Daredevil characters became fan-favorites and no MCU adaptation would erase them from the collective’s mind. Thankfully, Disney+ penned a follow-up to the Netflix series, but there was some concern Daredevil: Born Again wouldn’t be as murky as the original. Disney+ has pushed back against this narrative, releasing a trailer that promises blood and emotion.
As Matt faces off against his infamous adversary, Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio), the tagline teases that the Devil’s work is never done. Daredevil uses his familiar tricks of combat while the spot teases the return of not just Kingpin, but Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) and The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) as well. This information is not up-to-date, but footage of a bloodier and more forceful Matt supports Disney’s stance that this will be a return to form for the series.
Where Did Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ Leave Off?
The last time fans saw Daredevil was in 2018 during the third and last season of the series. After surviving the destruction of Midland Circle and losing Elektra (Elodie Yung), Matt washes his hands of attachments. Without his suit, he fights crime in a makeshift mask until he comes across the Kingpin once again. Wilson Fisk makes a deal with the FBI to be put under house arrest, only for the crime boss to turn the tables on the bureau. Season 3 drags out Matt reuniting with his found family, but it does masterfully introduce Bullseye to the main stage.
As part of Fisk’s FBI detail, Bullseye has honed his impeccable aim, which Kingpin uses to his benefit. The season ends with Fisk back in custody and Bullseye under the knife after the climactic conclusion. Clearly, that hasn’t taken, as Fisk is back in the capacity as the Mayor and Bullseye has also been spotted. Viewers can look out for all the batons and backflips when the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen returns on March 4, 2025, only on Disney+.
