After Matt Murdock aka Daredevil walked the shame on the recent episode of “She-Hulk”, Charlie Cox says his upcoming “Daredevil: Born Again” show on Disney+ “probably won’t be as gory” As it used to be before. The show ran on Netflix.
“I think this character works best when it’s geared towards a slightly more mature audience,” Cox said in an interview with NME, My gut instinct is that it will be dark on Disney+, but it probably won’t be as gory.”
Cox would reprise the role for Marvel four years after the show was canceled on Netflix in 2018. “Daredevil” ran on Netflix for three seasons and aired a total of 39 episodes. The series’ move from Netflix to Disney+ isn’t surprising, as the rights to the characters reverted to Disney last February. The series ends on Netflix on February 28. “Daredevil” joined Disney+ in March.
The new series, titled “Daredevil: Born Again”, will consist of 18 episodes and is set to debut in spring 2024 on Disney+. The series was announced in July as part of Marvel’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, where Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige unveiled plans for Phase 5, including the highly anticipated series return of co-star Matt Murdock.
The show is in pre-production and is set to shoot for 11 months.
“They told me, ‘We’re going to shoot in 2023,'” Cox says. “I said, ‘Great, when?’ He said, ‘All 2023’. I start shooting in February and finish in December.”
Cox said, “I’m thrilled to know why they chose 18.” “I’m imagining there’s going to be an element to it that’s like an old-school procedural show. Not necessarily a case-of-the-week, but something where we really go deep into lawyer Matt Murdock.” and see what his life is like. If it’s done right and he really gets his hands dirty with that world… I think that’s what’s so interesting about it, in the daily life of a superhero. To spend a lot of time and you really earn those moments when it suits.”
First debuting in 2015, the Netflix/Marvel series was created as complementary stories told alongside the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. They largely reference the events of 2012’s “The Avengers,” but none of the characters from the films actually appeared in the films until 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”
“No Way Home” marked the first real crossover between the Netflix show and the MCU, when Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock appeared as Peter Parker’s lawyer. Later in December, Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin — the main antagonist of “Daredevil” — also appeared in the MCU as the big bad in “Hawkeye.”
