The show, consisting of nine episodes, will debut on Disney+ on March 4, 2025.

In the exciting trailer, Matt Murdock meets his bitter rival, Wilson Fisk, in a diner to talk about their new lives and past. Now Fisk is the mayor of the city and tries to convince the lawyer that he is a different man, no longer the criminal of the past. At the same time Murdock, when asked “Why are you no longer a vigilante?“, explains that a limit has been exceeded (probably referring to the conclusion of the Netflix series). In a succession of action sequences, we find familiar faces by Karen Page and Foggy Nelson, but also Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, confirming the fan theory of his return. The trailer ends with Matt returning to play the role of Daredevil to patrol the streets of Hell’s Kitchen and face a new threat.

The plot of Daredevil: Born Again focuses on Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer by day and vigilante by night, who is back to fighting crime in Hell’s Kitchen.

James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, Ayelet Zurer, Jon Bernthal, Wilson Bethel and Jeremy Earl.

One of the most interesting curiosities about Daredevil: Born Again is that the title of the series refers to the famous storyline of the Daredevil: Born Again comics by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. Moreover, Daredevil has appeared in other productions of the MCU, as Spider-Man: No Way Home is She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and it is expected that will also make an appearance in the next Avengers film. The series was announced in July 2022 and initially was to have an 18-episode season, but after some changes and suspension of filming due to the 2023 writers’ strike, the first season has been reduced to nine episodes. The series promises to be a turning point for Daredevil’s character in the MCU, with one compelling plot and a stellar cast that will surely catch the attention of fans.

Daredevil: Born Again Story Plot

What do we know instead of the plot of this new series of Daredevil Born Again? Matt Corman and Chris Ord will take care of the script and executive production. After the announcement of Variety, the confirmation of the Marvel Studios, during the San Diego Comic-Con 2022. The plot of the series will pick up where the show created for Netflix, canceled in 2018 before its fourth season. We have already reviewed Daredevil in She-Hulk, and also in Spider-Man No Way Home. After temporarily setting aside the role of vigilante, Matt focuses on his career as a lawyer, trying to leave his double life behind. However, the rise of Wilson Fisk as mayor of New York will force the Hell’s Kitchen Devil to return to action, pushing him to put on the mask and team up with old companions and opponents. Among these, there will also be Frank Castle, aka Il Punitore, whose return promises to further complicate the situation. The trailer reveals the involvement of Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), historical friends and collaborators of Matt.

Daredevil: Born Again Stills 

Having Daredevil back is a reason to celebrate. Now even more it is part (officially) of the canon of more than a decade of Marvel. This opens the doors to very striking inclusions among other street characters such as Spiderman, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, and practically all Midnight Sons. Now what could the series bring with it? It has already been said that this new “, Hell’s Kitchen Devil version will adapt the 1986 comic of the same name written by Frank Miller. In addition, it will follow the story told in the Netflix series. Although this above could cause some confusion among staunch fans, because, in theory, this story has already been partially adapted to the small screen.

This occurred during the crossover of the Marvel and Netflix series, The Defenders. Here, to end the plans of the criminal organization known as La Mano, Matt Murdock would sacrifice himself. Later he would be alive and the events of the third season of Daredevil would begin. However, the fact that “returns” to adapt the mythical comic (perhaps the most important of all the devil stories) is most anticipated by fans. As previously mentioned, we will have the crudest and most serious facet of Marvel again, and now on the mouse platform. And Although 2025 comes loaded with premieres in the geek and comic world as Superman by James Gunn, Fantastic Four or Thunderbolts, Daredevil: Born Again It is the bloody street jewel that we need in the meantime a multiversal premiere (and stumble).

What to Expect from Daredevil: Born Again

As we said, the trailer gives us everything we wanted to see for years (or at least since Marvel Studios announced the series)

• Blood and Violence: The brutality of the action scenes recalls the raw and direct style of the Netflix series, placating any doubt of the fans.
• Convincing Characters: Vincent D’Onofrio returns as an imposing and lethal Kingpin, while Frank Castle/The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) makes his entrance with devastating energy.
• New Challenges: Matt faces not only Fisk’s growing power but also new heroes and villains such as White Tiger and Muse.
• A Different Daredevil: The trailer reveals a darker Matt who is marked by a past that torments him. The phrase “a line has been crossed” suggests that something irreparable has happened, prompting Daredevil to withdraw. Now, however, the Hell’s Kitchen Devil seems ready to rise again, more determined than ever.

What Makes this Story Special:

• A Deep Exploration: Beyond action and confrontation, the comic delves into Matt’s psychology, exploring themes such as faith, guilt, loneliness, and redemption.
• Raw Realism: Miller and Mazzucchelli are not afraid to show violence and misery, creating an oppressive atmosphere that reflects Matt’s state of mind.
• A Shocking Art: Mazzucchelli’s artistic style is realistic and expressive, perfectly capturing moments of pain, despair, and hope.
• A Lasting Influence: “Born Again” has been an inspiration to many creators and has left an indelible mark on the comic book genre.
