Daredevil: Born Again season 2 may have only just ended, but there's been no shortage of season 3 leaks hitting the internet – and it's taking its toll on showrunner Dario Scardapane.
"[With] this particular season, I have to say, the spoilers, the leaks and everything have been a little hard to deal with," Scardapane told Entertainment Weekly.
"The last 5 or 10 minutes of season 2 is a treat; the super fans are gonna know exactly where we're going. Having telegraphed that through the paparazzi and through the media is kind of a bummer. I don't understand why people wanna know everything before it happens."
Last month, leaked set photos showed a Defenders reunion with Finn Jones' Iron Fist joining Mike Colter's Luke Cage, Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones, and the titular Man Without Fear in Hell's Kitchen. The perils of shooting on the streets of New York City...
"I can't comment on them, but wow, right?" Scardapane said. "Gee whiz, heavy-duty security there. I was there that day and I was just watching it all happen. I don't really know what to say other than, yeah, that happened."
Luke Cage's return comes as less of a shock after the Daredevil: Born Again season 2 ending, which saw him reunite with Jessica (and their daughter) and, it seems, reopen Alias Investigations.
Danny Rand's MCU debut is more of a surprise, however. Iron Fist was the worst-received of Netflix's Marvel shows, but fans have been clamoring for him to get a second chance in the MCU. And, now, they seem to have got their wish – even if Scardapane wishes it could have been kept under wraps a little while longer.
All episodes of Daredevil: Born Again season 2 are streaming now on Disney Plus, with Daredevil: Born Again season 3 set to follow in March 2027. For more, check out our guide to the other upcoming Marvel movies and shows.
