For many subscribers, the brutal and grittyDaredevilseries was enough of a reason to cough up a monthly fee to catch the latest episode featuring the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.
So when theNetflixseries was cancelled along withMarvel’sThe Punisher,Jessica Jones,Iron FistandLuke Cageit was a sad time for subscribers. The last episode ofDaredevilto air on Netflix was in October 2018 and many fans feared that would be the last we’d see of Charlie Cox’s Matthew Murdock.

Alas, in 2022,DisneyPlus announced that a reboot ofDaredevilis on the way and it would star the returning Charlie Cox as Matthew Murdock as well as Vincent D’Onofrio’s brilliant interpretation of Wilson Fisk/Kingpin.

The newseriesis befittingly calledDaredevil: Born Again, and this news excited fans who thought they’d never see the character return in a series ever again. Yet, back in October this year, Disney made the tough decision toscrapDaredevil: Born Againhalfway through shooting to begin anew. I like to think that this decision was made in favour of making this series more mature, rather than the more child-friendly version of Matthew Murdock that was featured inShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
Hopefully, that decision will prove to be for the good of the series, and the return of Daredevil will be worth its weight in gold. However, much like the fans of the series, Charlie Cox also thought that he’d never return to the Daredevil character.
“So, during that time, I didn’t know that. I just thought it was over. And Vincent, who plays Wilson Fisk, and I would chat occasionally on the phone,” the actor explained. “And he would kind of say, ‘I’m sure they’re gonna bring us back.’ I’d be on the phone being, like, ‘Mate, the guy’s delusional! He’s got to let it go.'” So there you have it, we’re not the only ones pleasantly surprised that we’ll be graced with Daredevil and Kingpin once more, whenever that time may be.
