Rewinding to Netflix’s Daredevil

It was terminated, along with the likes of Defenders, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. However, with Marvel Television merging with the main studio, Daredevil made a surprise return in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Journey to Rebirth
The renewed Daredevil series, “Born Again”, underwent significant changes after it commenced development in 2022. It had to be improved after Marvel President Kevin Feige voiced his dissatisfaction with the initial concept. After some tweaking and modifications, the production for the revamped series got back on track earlier this year.
Paying Homage in Style
The Netflix’s Daredevil was known for perfecting long-take action sequences. The iconic scene from the first season was a game changer. It brought a fresh approach to Marvel’s usual fast-paced choreography. As a tribute, the scene took inspiration from Park Chan-Wook’s film, Oldboy, to create a lasting impression in audience’s minds.
Promise of Exquisite Action Sequences
Charlie Cox has reassured fans that they can expect a show full of brilliantly executed sequences. If you thought the first Daredevil series was action-packed, you’re in for a greater treat with Daredevil: Born Again. Let’s just hope time flies and it’s 2025 before we know it! Until then, hang tight, Daredevil is currently streaming on Disney Plus.
