Like many, I’m pumped to one day watch Jon Bernthal’s Punisher working alongside Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to keep New York City safe in the upcoming Marvel movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and I’m also not alone in hoping that big-screen crossover will have positive ramifications for the studio’s future MCU shows. Sadly, that won’t be the case for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, which will be too busy navigating its own complex narrative to share focus with other heroes. (At least outside of returning fave Jessica Jones.)
Showrunner Dario Scardapane is as pumped as the show’s lead actors to dig into Season 2’s increasingly complex story, though he didn’t go so far as to crap on Season 1’s original iteration the way others have during his interview with SFX Magazine on CinemaBlend. He talked up Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page in Season 2, addressed why he’s wary about the show mirroring real-world politics too closely, and talked about getting Krysten Ritter back into the fold. He also spoke to this Daredevil series following in the non-crossover footsteps of the Netflix iteration.
