Marvel Studios’ announcement of “Daredevil: Born Again” for Disney+ has sparked excitement among fans, but it has also led to confusion about its relation to the original Netflix series. Despite initial ambiguity, recent developments suggest that “Born Again” may be more than just a standalone narrative—it could be a continuation of the beloved “Daredevil” series.
Charlie Cox, who portrays Matt Murdock/Daredevil, initially referred to “Born Again” as a “Season 1, not a Season 4,” indicating a fresh start for the character. However, production delays and creative changes have altered the course of the show. Filming for “Born Again” was paused due to industry strikes, leading Marvel Studios to reevaluate the project. As a result, the show’s direction has shifted, now connecting it more closely to the original Netflix series.
Vincent D’Onofrio’s return as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin further solidifies the connection between “Born Again” and the Netflix series. D’Onofrio confirmed that the new show acknowledges the history and events of the original series, treating it more like a revival than a complete reboot. Set photos featuring other returning characters, such as Karen Page and Foggy Nelson, further support this notion.
Despite these developments, Marvel Studios has not officially labeled “Born Again” as “Daredevil” Season 4. Instead, the show is expected to be a new chapter for the character, blending elements from the original series with new storylines and characters. Fans can anticipate a mix of familiar faces and fresh additions, as “Born Again” aims to continue the legacy of “Daredevil” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
With its expected release on Disney+ in 2025, “Daredevil: Born Again” promises to be a thrilling continuation of the “Daredevil” story, offering fans a chance to revisit the world of Hell’s Kitchen with a fresh perspective and new adventures.
