The MCU Daredevil reboot will change characters in a big way, as Marvel producer compares it to X-Men '97: "It's taking it in a new direction"

Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk in Netflix's Daredevil.

It's no secret that Daredevil: Born Again is one of Marvel's most anticipated releases, with the upcoming streaming series reviving the continuity of the original fan-favorite Netflix show, along with most of the cast - notably Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock and Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk. But don't expect the same old thing, as the terms of their old rivalry are "no longer enough" in the revived series.

According to Marvel's Head of Television, Streaming, and Animated producer Brand Winderbaum, there's a whole new "political" angle to Daredevil and Kingpin's bitter arch-rivalry. And for viewers who watched Echo, that may come as no surprise, seeing as how Fisk was calling his shot for the position of mayor of New York City in the series finale's post-credits stinger - a development taken straight from comics.
