Disney Plus’ upcoming show Daredevil: Born Again is set to be an all-out action series, but Marvel Comics writer Rob Liefeld has claimed that the show was originally set to be a comedy before a Marvel stuntman took over. However, star Vincent D'Onofrio has since set the record straight, saying the reshoots were all down to showrunner Dario Scardapane.
"Prior to the Marvel Brass finally listening to the talent, the show was a comedy!" said Liefeld on Twitter. "They brought in action impression Phil Silvera who literally reshot most every episode. The action and stunts are next level!" Liefeld is best known for co-creating the character Deadpool for Marvel comics. Notably, Liefeld isn't involved in Daredevil: Born Again and recently cut ties with Marvel Studios after feeling "diminished" at the Deadpool and Wolverine premiere by not being invited to the afterparty (via THR).
