Detailed plot summary for “The Marvels” Marvel fans, the wait is over! Indefinitely Wright: After years of speculation, Daredevil, aka Matt Murdock, is finally back with a new series called “Daredevil: Born Again.”
Scheduled to premiere March 4, 2025, on Disney Plus, the show brings back some of the most beloved characters from the original Netflix series while taking the story in brazen new directions. Here’s all the breaking news on the upcoming show.
What’s “Born Again” About? Daredevil Returns
“Daredevil: Born Again” features Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, New York City’s blind attorney by day and the crime-fighting Daredevil by night. This time, Matt wrestles with even weightier concepts as he battles Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, played by Vincent D’Onofrio, who in addition to being an unrepentant crime boss is a mayoral challenger as well.
The series will bring back the Netflix version’s fan favorites, including Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, Wilson Bethel as Bullseye and Jon Bernthal as Punisher. Collectively, this cast should bring the brutal, streetwise action and emotional weight that made the original so popular.
Why Is This Series Important?
“Daredevil: Born Again” isn’t merely a continuation of the Netflix series; it’s an entirely new look at the character, set in the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Marvel Studios’ head of TV and streaming Brad Winderbaum said:
“These characters have grown up. The universe is different. Society has changed. Matt and Wilson have changed; their conflicts are more profound than ever. It’s not only about fighting anymore — it’s a political game, a strategy game, a survival game.”
Expect the series to dive into other aspects of Daredevil beyond the superheroics, combining courtroom scenes and punches to the face in its storytelling — making this a must watch for die-hard fans of the character and the show, as well as new viewers.
The Journey to Disney Plus
Daredevil’s return has not come without its challenges. Fans campaigned tirelessly for the character’s revival after Netflix canceled the original series in 2018. While Marvel Studios teased Daredevil’s return with cameos in projects like Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022), a full-blown series felt unsure.
But behind the scenes, production on “Born Again” hit roadblocks. Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios, pause production halfway through and change the creative vision, bringing in new writers and directors. Headed up by showrunner Dario Scardapane — whose previous credits include “Jack Ryan” and “The Punisher” — the new team promises to deliver a different interpretation that retains the spirit of the character.
Why Is “Born Again” Unique?
Unlike its Netflix predecessor, “Born Again” will feature the wider MCU while also continuing the grittiness audiences have come to love. The series promised to delve deeper into Matt Murdock’s dual existence, and will likely share themes of morality, resilience, and justice.
Also, expect to see more political intrigue as the rivalry between Daredevil and Kingpin rises about street-level brawls into a high-stakes battle for the future of the city.
The Legacy of Daredevil and What Comes Next
For fans, Daredevil is one of Marvel’s most nuanced and relatable heroes. His issues with blindness, morality and personal sacrifice have struck deep since the character’s comic book debut. With “Born Again,” Marvel hopes to establish Daredevil as a keystone of the MCU’s future.

“Daredevil: Born Again” will be released on March 4, 2025 on Disney Plus. This series is no exception, as the platform has come to own everything Marvel-related. If you’re not subscribed yet, Disney Plus plans start at $7.99 a month.
