Marvel Studios has made significant changes to the upcoming Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again in order to align it more closely with the beloved Netflix version. After being dissatisfied with the initial episodes, Marvel Studios decided to revamp season 1, resulting in a new team of showrunners and directors. Dario Scardapane, known for his work on Netflix's The Punisher, has been chosen as the showrunner, while Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, the lead directors of Loki season 2 and contributors to Moon Knight, will direct the remaining unfilmed episodes. Both Marvel Studios and Disney+ have yet to comment on these recent hires.
Why The New Daredevil: Born Again Showrunner Is A Great Fit For The Series
Scardapane's involvement in Daredevil: Born Again is a positive move for Matt Murdock's new MCU TV show. Initially, there were concerns that the show was too focused on legal proceedings, neglecting its superhero elements. However, by bringing Scardapane on board, Marvel Studios is recognizing the talent from the original Marvel TV era. Furthermore, Scardapane's experience working on The Punisher is advantageous, especially since Jon Bernthal will be reprising his role as Frank Castle in Daredevil: Born Again. Similarly, the inclusion of Benson and Moorhead, who are already familiar with the current MCU landscape, adds to the show's potential by working alongside Scardapane to bring out the strengths of the Marvel-Netflix series.
