It's impressive that, after all the behind-the-scenes issues it encountered in its first season, Daredevil: Born Again arrived on Disney+ relatively unscathed and met a warm reception from fans. Things could've been very different if the plans of the original iteration of the return of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) had gone ahead, with the idea of the show being a soft reboot of the Man Without Fear and not a follow-up to the beloved Netflix series fans had fought to see back in some fashion.
The reboot that never came to be only had the returning talents of Cox and D'Onofrio in the mix, with any other supporting cast members from the Netflix version no longer attached. To explain away this glaring issue that fans would've undoubtedly expressed their disappointment with, the lead horn head himself has revealed that the show would look to one of the MCU's most extravagant and out-there shows to get the message across that this Daredevil and Kingpin were the same, only slightly different.
