After Charlie Cox’s surprise cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Vincet D’Onofrio’s role in Hawkeye, fans went wild when Kevin Feige announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 that Daredevil would star in a reboot of the beloved Netflix series. Details about Daredevil: Born Again are steadily trickling out—and after some disappointing delays, the series is finally on its way.
Here’s everything we know so far!
What’s the plot of Daredevil: Born Again?

The original Daredevil series, which aired on Netflix, focused on Matt Murdock (Cox)’s double life as an attorney and a masked vigilante in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. There were no Infinity Stones or cosmic threats in the Netflix series—just good ol’ fashioned street-level crimefighting as Matt tried to free Hell’s Kitchen from the control of Kingpin (D’Onofrio) and other criminals.
Now that Daredevil is officially part of the MCU, though, it could go in a few different directions. Many fans are hoping the new series will stick to the original show’s tight focus on the gritty world of organized crime and vigilanteism. However, the whole point of the MCU is the interconnection of all its different storylines, so with the Multiverse Saga unfolding and Secret Wars coming out in 2027, who knows what could happen?
Who’s in the cast of Daredevil: Born Again?

Charlie Cox will be reprising his role as Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, and Vincent D’Onofrio will return as Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin.
After production on Born Again was paused for major rewrites, Daredevil fans found out that Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson will be reprising their roles as Karen Page and Foggy Nelson, Matt’s coworkers and closest friends in Netflix’s Daredevil.
In addition to the series leads, Michael Gandolfini (Oceans 8, The Sopranos), Margarita Levieva (The Deuce), Sandrine Holt (American Gigolo), Nikki M. James (Severance), and Arty Froushan (Carnival Row) have all reportedly been cast in undisclosed roles. Jon Bernthal will also return as Frank Castle, a.k.a. the Punisher.
According to Deadline, Wilson Bethel will reprise his role of Benjamin Poindexter, a.k.a. Bullseye, from Netflix’s Daredevil series—although Marvel hasn’t confirmed or denied the casting.
Alaqua Cox (Echo) and Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk) could potentially have cameo appearances as Maya Lopez and Jennifer Walters, respectively, given their connections to Daredevil. Maya recently took center stage in the five-episode series Echo, which includes a Daredevil cameo. At the end of She-Hulk, Jen and Matt are in a long-distance relationship, so it seems natural that she would at least make an appearance in the new show. Nothing has been announced, though.

At the advertiser event Disney Upfront 2024, Marvel Studios announced a release window for Daredevil: Born Again: March 2025.
