Daredevil: Born Again showrunner teases that the MCU show is "even more grounded" than DC spin-off The Penguin, going "as far as a Disney Plus show has ever gone"

Charlie Cox in Daredevil Born Again (2025).

If you thought The Batman spin-off show The Penguin was gritty, it looks like superhero fans ain't seen nothing yet. That's according to Daredevil: Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane, who teases that the upcoming Marvel show is "even more grounded" than last year's hit DC series.

Naturally, comparisons are already being drawn between the two shows given that both are darker takes on the superhero genre. However, speaking to SFX magazine, which features Daredevil: Born Again on the cover and hits newsstands on January 29, Scardapane emphasizes that whilst the two do share similar DNA, the new MCU series takes things further.
