Exclusive: Daredevil: Born Again – Charlie Cox & Vincent D’Onofrio Tease Major Conflicts & a Tragic Event That Changes Matt Murdock

One of the most highly anticipated releases for Disney+ is Daredevil: Born Again, a series that will follow the events of the Netflix show, which ended a few years ago. We spoke to stars Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio, as well as showrunner and producer Dario Scardapane, executive producer Sana Amanat, and executive producers/directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead.

When it comes to a show with such a dedicated fan base, changing elements that audiences love can be unpredictable. However, Benson and Moorhead revealed that while they aimed to preserve the essence of the Netflix series, Born Again will have its own unique take. If there were any unanswered questions from the original series, the creative team hopes to address them this time around.

Dario shared that the show focuses on unfinished business, which is why characters like Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, are returning. His story directly feeds into the new series, and that’s also why we see Daredevil and Kingpin clashing once again—there’s still unresolved conflict between them. The show takes a darker tone, and events may push Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock to the edge, challenging the moral code he has always followed.

The series also experiments with different cinematographic techniques and unique camera angles, designed to immerse viewers in each character’s world. Whether you’re following Kingpin or Daredevil, these visual choices will enhance the emotional and psychological depth of the story.

Matt Murdock’s No-Kill Rule in Question

While discussing the show, Charlie Cox hinted that Daredevil: Born Again will explore Matt Murdock grappling with the possibility of breaking his strict no-kill rule. This inner conflict, sparked by a tragic loss, will profoundly impact his character’s journey and shift the trajectory of the series.

Similarly, Vincent D’Onofrio, who portrays Wilson Fisk (Kingpin), shared insights into his character’s complexities. While Kingpin is undeniably a villain, his depth and human qualities make him strangely sympathetic despite his ruthless nature. He will struggle with his Kingpin persona as he attempts to become Mayor and leave his criminal past behind—but can he truly escape it?

Could Daredevil and Kingpin Crossover?

For Marvel fans, crossovers are always an exciting prospect. When asked about the possibility of their characters crossing over into other universes—superhero or otherwise—Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio gave a fun and unexpected answer, one that still aligns with the core values of Daredevil. While they didn’t reveal any specifics, it’s clear that the idea of expanding Daredevil: Born Again beyond its current scope is something they find intriguing.

As the series approaches its release, fans can look forward to a fresh yet familiar take on Daredevil’s story, with intense action, deep character exploration, and high-stakes drama that could redefine the Marvel hero’s path, one that takes a sudden surprising turn, right from the first episode.
