Daredevil: Born Again’s action seemingly won’t be for the faint of heart.
Daredevil: Born Again is expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2025. Following the Marvel Television Daredevil series that originally aired on Netflix, the MCU show will see Charlie Cox reprise his role as Matt Murdock.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Brad Winderbaum of Marvel Studios opened up about what fans can expect to see in Daredevil: Born Again.
What did Brad Winderbaum say about the action in Daredevil: Born Again?
“I’ll tell you, some of the most brutal action we’ve ever brought to the screen is coming in Daredevil: Born Again, which isn’t a horror show, but really it packs a lot of power and there’s a lot of visceral action, to say the least,” he said.
Winderbaum continued to tease how the MCU is large enough for each series and movie to have their own tone, thus making it appropriate for Daredevil: Born Again to adopt one that is more violent than other Marvel titles.
“I think that it goes back to the filmmaker’s intent,” he explained. “The horror on screen in Agatha is going to be different than the horror on screen in Marvel Zombies, is going to be different than the horror on screen in Blade. It was different than the horror on screen in Moon Knight. It really depends on the vision of the filmmaker on what horror cues you’re pulling from. And that’s not just unique to horror. It’s unique to any genre we’re playing with. Obviously, there are many different ways to tell a story.”
Along with Cox, Daredevil: Born Again stars Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/Punisher, Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Franklin “Foggy” Nelson, Wilson Bethel as Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter, and Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Marianna-Fisk. The cast also includes Margarita Levieva, Michael Gandolfini, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Jeremy Earl, and more.
