Well, this is unexpected news. Marvel Studios has reportedly scrapped all progress onDaredevil: Born Againdespite being over halfway through shooting.
It was a great shame whenDaredevilwas cancelled on Netflix, likewise withJessica JonesandThe Punisher. Sorry toIron FistandLuke Cage. Those shows lost their way. It’s understandable why theNetflixMarvel universe drew to a close. With Disney Plus launching, Disney needed to nab back theMarvelTV rights. It doesn’t make the thought of a lost season four ofDaredevilor season three ofThe Punisherany easier to swallow though. What did ease our woes was the announcement ofDaredevil: Born Again- a brand new series which would officially draft Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock into the MCU.
The Marvelsis on the way next. Take a look at the trailer below.

It’s believed thatDaredevil: Born Againis still in development. It’s just that Marvel has taken the decision to do a rather costly and drastic reset. The show was due to have 18 episodes, and the report claims that at least nine of these had been filmed. Filming has been on hiatus since June though due to the now-resolved WGA strike and ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.
Last month, Marvel reportedly let head writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman go, parting ways with the show’s various directors shortly after. It’s now believed that new writers and directors are being recruited. Sources told THR that “Corman and Ord crafted a legal procedural that did not resemble the Netflix version, known for its action and violence”. The reset may be a good thing then, as we clearly want the latter.
The source added that it took four episodes for Cox to actually don the Daredevil costume. Marvel is now rethinking the concept, and plans to keep some scenes whilst injecting new life into the show. Ord and Corman remain as executive producers. I guess it’s back to the drawing board.
