We’re only a few months away from the premiere of Daredevil: Born Again, but the idea of a Daredevil series that’s actually canon to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe still feels too good to be true. Until recently, Marvel seemed content to keep the hero of Hell’s Kitchen at arms’ length, which actually might have been the best thing for Daredevil. The series had the freedom to cultivate a more adult audience on Netflix, and it didn’t have to skimp on the bloodshed and dark themes that comic book fans may be familiar with.
Daredevil also stayed true to its source material, crafting a compelling origin story for its title hero and the most iconic members of his rogues' gallery. Though Netflix is often trigger-happy with its cancellations, there was a sense that Daredevil could have gone on for multiple seasons. According to Daredevil himself, Charlie Cox, the series was deep in development on a fourth season before the streamer intervened.
