Spider-Man has been an instrumental force in bringing Charlie Cox’s Daredevil from the margins of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe and into the MCU proper, thanks to cameos in Spider-Man: No Way Home and even Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Both subtly paved the way for the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen to reclaim the spotlight in his own solo series, and now that he’s been born again, Daredevil could be returning the favor.
The first season of Daredevil: Born Again set up a conflict that could inform all of Marvel’s New York-set stories, Spider-Man especially. With the “Kingpin,” Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio), taking over the island of Manhattan, Daredevil (aka Matt Murdock) is now faced with the kind of tyrant he can’t stop alone. He’ll need to round up a group of heroes to assist in his fight against the Kingpin; stalwart allies like the Punisher (Jon Bernthal) and Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) are always welcome, but they may not be enough. Fortunately, one could throw a rock and hit any number of heroes in New York City, and Spider-Man (Tom Holland) could be one of them. Though Marvel is wisely keeping details of Born Again Season 2 under wraps, it may be sneakily setting up the events of the next Spider-Man film, Brand New Day.
