Rumor: ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ to Feature Episodes with Matt Out of the Costume Completely

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is among the highly anticipated Marvel Studios releases, but it faces delays due to recent strikes, extending the wait for fans. While not officially confirmed, the listing suggests a potential release in 2025, attributed to strikes by WGA and SAG-AFTRA. Despite the WGA strike’s resolution, the SAG-AFTRA strike persists, possibly delaying the release. Filming started in March but paused in June, complicating the production of the ambitious 18-episode season.

Additionally, a discouraging rumor suggests episodes where Daredevil “does not suit up at all.” The synopsis teases a reunion between Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk as they navigate their dual identities and try to move on toward a different kind of future while their past catches up with them.

Among fans of the show, some applaud the shift in narrative, delving into Matt’s character beyond his Daredevil identity. However, others suggest this might lead to more filler episodes, adding to a series of disappointing updates. ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is anticipated to be more of a soft reboot than a direct extension of the original series, excluding characters such as Foggy Nelson and Karen Page.

In the upcoming series, Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock forms a new law firm with Nikki M. James as Kirsten McDuffie, named ‘Murdock & Associates.’

This mirrors the original series where Murdock and Foggy established ‘Nelson and Murdock.’ The exclusion of specific characters fits the storyline, exploring Murdock’s double life as a lawyer and vigilante. Importantly, both Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio are returning to their roles in different Marvel projects after the original series concluded. Thus, the current situation is logical.

The anticipated release for ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is now in early 2025. Meanwhile, fans can enjoy the original Daredevil series on Disney+.
