Daredevil: Born Again is shaping up to be a major win for fans of the original Netflix series. While the Disney+ show might have started out as a softer reboot of Netflix’s Daredevil, with only select cast members returning, Marvel eventually saw the error of their ways, turning Born Again into a straightforward follow-up. It’s also set to bring Netflix’s pulpy bloodshed into Marvel’s relatively tame cinematic universe, marking a major first for the franchise. And with early reactions already leaning positive, it seems like the wait has been well worth it.
Born Again is just the beginning of a Daredevil renaissance at Marvel. Another season is already in the works, along with a spinoff focused on one of Daredevil’s breakout stars. According to Entertainment Weekly, said spinoff will take the form of a feature-length special in the vein of Werewolf By Night and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. It will also focus on Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, who’s set to reprise his role in Born Again before starring in the new film.
