‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Nears Release with Significant Filming Update
“Daredevil: Born Again” has garnered significant attention in the realm of upcoming MCU projects. The buzz is fueled by both enthusiastic fans and a rocky production journey, marked by challenges such as the SAG-AFTRA strike and clashes between the showrunners and the studio regarding creative direction.
Months back, a decision was made to overhaul the show, bringing in a fresh creative team to steer the project forward. Dario Scardapane steps in as the new showrunner, accompanied by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead as the co-directing duo.
After the SAG-AFTRA strike ended, filming for ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ resumed on January 22, following a brief hiatus. The production team returned to set to complete filming. Exciting action scenes were captured, along with glimpses of new characters. With filming now concluded, the project has reached a significant milestone.
Central Casting shared a photo on their Instagram, confirming the conclusion of filming with this caption:
