Daredevil: Born Again Stars Promise to ‘Blow Up’ the Netflix Past | Interview

“Why did you stop being a vigilante?,” Wilson Fisk asks his old nemesis Matt Murdock in the first trailer for Daredevil: Born Again. “A line was crossed,” Matt cryptically responds as the trailer depicts Daredevil’s cowl falling from the roof of a building. But, as the Marvel show’s tagline promises, the devil’s work is never done.
What made Matt Murdock hang up his horns and billy club (even if just for a brief while)? Daredevil: Born Again will explore just that when the series launches on Disney+.
IGN's Scott Collura interviewed Daredevil: Born Again leads Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock/Daredevil) and Vincent D’Onofrio (Wilson Fisk/Kingpin) and directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead about this hotly anticipated revival. (Yes, it is a revival. Cox says the new Daredevil show is “100%” set in the same continuity as the original Netflix series, which is now MCU canon, with D’Onofrio going so far as to label it the fourth season they never got.)
Produced by Marvel Television, Daredevil ran for three seasons on Netflix before it was canceled in 2018. While Cox says he thought that was it for his time as Ol’ Hornhead – his Matt Murdock would later be brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home before appearing in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Echo – but D’Onofrio says he was always confident he and Cox would one day officially join the MCU.
