Kapanlagi.com - Marvel Studios is once again bringing one of the most iconic characters from the comic book world to the screen in the latest series titled Daredevil: Born Again.
After previously appearing in the Daredevil series on Netflix, Matt Murdock now embarks on a new adventure that is officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Fans are certainly very excited to see how Marvel will rebuild the story of the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen with a fresher vibe while still retaining the elements that make this character so beloved.
This series is a highly anticipated project as it will bring back Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin.
Both have proven to be the best choices to portray these characters, with strong chemistry and stunning performances.
Moreover, the changes in the concept of this series have led to much speculation about how the storyline of Daredevil: Born Again will develop within the MCU.
Along with various leaks and official announcements from Marvel Studios, there are many interesting facts you need to know before watching this series.
From the return of iconic characters to changes in the number of episodes, here is all the important information about Daredevil: Born Again!
1. Reboot Under Marvel Studios
Unlike the series Daredevil (2015-2018) produced by Netflix, Daredevil: Born Again is fully under the control of Marvel Studios and directly connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
This means Daredevil is now in the same world as Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and other MCU characters.
2. Charlie Cox Returns as Daredevil
Charlie Cox is back in the iconic red costume as Matt Murdock aka Daredevil. Previously, he had already appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
His presence in this MCU project proves that Marvel Studios is serious about rebuilding this character on a larger scale.
3. Vincent D'Onofrio Returns as Kingpin
It wouldn't feel complete if Daredevil didn't have his arch-nemesis, Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin. Vincent D'Onofrio reprises this character after previously appearing in the series Hawkeye. The presence of Kingpin is sure to bring major conflict in the story of Born Again.
4. Title Inspired by Classic Comics
The title Born Again refers to one of the Daredevil comic stories written by Frank Miller in 1986. However, this series will not be a direct adaptation of that comic, but rather develop a new story within the MCU universe.
5. Format Change from 18 Episodes to 9 Episodes
Initially, Marvel Studios planned Daredevil: Born Again as a series with 18 episodes. However, after the filming process began, they changed their approach to present only 9 episodes.
This decision was made after Marvel Studios evaluated the script and story structure.
6. Jon Bernthal's Return as The Punisher
One of the biggest surprises of this project is the return of Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, aka The Punisher. This brutal anti-hero character last appeared in the series The Punisher (2017-2019) on Netflix. His presence is expected to bring more intense action elements to this series.
7. Built as a More Serious and Darker MCU Series
Marvel Studios wants to bring a more serious and darker tone to Daredevil: Born Again, similar to the tone of the Netflix version. However, there will still be adjustments to fit the MCU storytelling style. This could be a breath of fresh air for fans looking for more mature stories in Marvel.
So, who can't wait for this film? Be sure to catch the latest series Daredevil: Born Again which is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on March 4, 2025, okay!
