Daredevil: Born Again's Big Changes Explained
Upon initiating work on Daredevil: Born Again, it transpired that Marvel Studios made the decision to part ways with the primary writers and directors towards the end of September. While certain elements will be retained from previously produced episodes, Daredevil: Born Again season 1 will commence anew as Marvel Studios seeks to enlist a fresh creative team. This move could potentially account for why Daredevil: Born Again has been excluded from the MCU timeline schedule for Phase 5.
The shake-up in Daredevil: Born Again comes as a result of Marvel Studios' efforts to restructure their approach to producing MCU shows. This decision was influenced by the poor critical reception and execution of several previous projects. In the case of Daredevil: Born Again, Kevin Feige and the Marvel executives believed that the show focused too much on legal drama, neglecting the elements that made Netflix's Daredevil series successful. In order to enhance the show's serialization, Marvel Studios and Disney+ plan to develop at least two seasons, necessitating a restart of the creative process.
Only time will tell if other cast members of Daredevil: Born Again will comment on the decision to start from scratch. It is worth noting that the public announcement of Daredevil: Born Again's overhaul arrives on the heels of a listing at the U.S. Copyright Office, hinting at a release in 2025. Hopefully, once a new creative vision is established for Daredevil: Born Again, filming will commence smoothly, allowing the Devil of Hell's Kitchen to make a triumphant return to the MCU.
