Former Daredevil Crew Member Exposes Shocking Revelation That Will Change How You View Daredevil: Born Again!

Daredevil's highly anticipated comeback in Daredevil: Born Again has left some fans disappointed. One former crew member of the canceled Netflix series believes that a significant mistake has been made.

The cancellation of Netflix's gritty and mature Marvel series was a devastating blow for Daredevil fans. The series was praised for its authentic and dark portrayal of lawyer Matt Murdock, and it left many wondering how he would fit into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Charlie Cox's portrayal was beloved by fans, and it would have been a waste if he didn't return as the vigilante. Fortunately, Cox made appearances in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk, hinting at Daredevil's potential as a prominent figure in the MCU.

Sure enough, the upcoming MCU show titled Daredevil: Born Again was announced, bringing a collective sense of relief to the fanbase. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for the new series. A crew member who previously worked on Netflix's Daredevil expressed concerns about how the upcoming show will be handled. "They really, truly don't want it to resemble the Marvel Netflix Daredevil in any way," reflected stuntman Chris Brewster on the Izuko Unscripted podcast. "As a result, none of the crew from the original series, apart from the returning cast, will be involved."

Brewster, not only an employee of the series but also a self-proclaimed fan, praised the Netflix show for its authentic portrayal of characters and the talent involved behind the scenes. According to the crew member, one of the biggest obstacles is Marvel's desire for Daredevil: Born Again to have no resemblance to the original Daredevil series. While some cast members may return, that may be the only reminder of the beloved show.

This should not be a total surprise, even for devoted fans of the original. Daredevil's appearance in She-Hulk hinted at what was to come. Marvel Studios' takeover of the Marvel TV department has brought a more lighthearted and comedic tone to their series. However, while understandable, this is still disappointing. Netflix productions have always excelled at using superheroes to tell emotionally impactful stories. Jessica Jones explored candid storylines about trauma, while The Punisher sparked important conversations about PTSD.

The future of the MCU continuing this conversation seems uncertain. Fans will need to determine if the show remains relevant, which may take a while. However, the writers' strike has caused another delay for Daredevil: Born Again, making it possible for Cox's return to be years away. In the meantime, fans can enjoy rewatching the original three seasons. The premiere of Daredevil: Born Again on Disney Plus is set for early 2024.
