'Daredevil: Born Again' Gets Premiere Date At New York Comic-Con
The return to Hell’s Kitchen will officially happen on Disney+ this March
The Man Without Fear now comes with an official return date. Despite Marvel’s very comics-focused presence at New York Comic Con over the weekend with their Next Big Thing panel, Marvel Studios still made their way in. Daredevil: Born Again stars Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio made an appearance to announce the series will premiere on Disney+ on March 4, 2025.
Coincidentally, the panel was held seven years to the day that the original 2015-2018 Netflix series on which the actors began playing the roles released its final season, and thus its final episode. The rights reversion countdown started. Since then, the series has been gradually reincorporated back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The two of them made appearances in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Hawkeye and Echo respectively, with the formers overlapping in December 2021, with Born Again formally announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2022. Due to a combination of the dual strikes, Marvel Studios’s output slowdown, and overhauling its creative processes, Daredevil: Born Again, which was originally targeted for spring of this year, but the production pause allowed them to pivot back to being the proper continuation it was always meant to be, and salvaging enough that the 18 original episodes are maintained, but split into two nine-episode seasons. This brought back Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll as their beloved Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Poindexter aka Bullseye for three episodes, Jon Bernthal returning as Frank Castle aka the Punisher, retained from the previous version, and Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk. Margarita Levieva, Michael Gandolfini, Genneya Walton, Nikki M. James, and Clark Johnson have all been retained, while Hunter Doohan is reportedly playing Muse, and Arty Frousha has been listed in more recent cast lists.
A year ago, the United States Copyright Office accurately listed both Echo and Agatha All Along’s premiere dates. Daredevil: Born Again was listed for January but that was either temporary or that further two month delay did indeed occur quietly. March 2025 was first established at Upfronts, which featured what is possibly the first of two trailers shown privately at separate events and still unreleased to the public. The Upfronts trailer showed Matt Murdock bearing the iconic Daredevil suit while narrating that the "entire system is against you... it's often David vs. Goliath." Kingpin, Foggy, and Karen get brief glimpses followed by an action sequence just as brief, where Murdock is asked "what kind of a lawyer are you?”. The D23 trailer from August featured Daredevil and Kingpin sharing a tense dinner, with the former telling the latter “If you step out of line, I’m going to be there,” while Kingpin responds laughing, wondering if it’s Murdock or his vigilante self telling him. Punisher throws Daredevil into a locker because apparently he didn’t recognize his old ally, an array of Daredevil masks, and a massive good old fashioned beatdown of many bad guys.
That trailer’s tagline reads “The Devil’s Work Is Never Done”. The official synopsis came with the date reveal, and it describes “Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer with heightened abilities is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course.” Dario Scardapane serves as showrunner, with Loki pair Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead directing.
