Many major titles are on the program for upcoming Marvel TV showsbut few are as eagerly awaited as the long awaited Daredevil: Born Again. A successor to the acclaimed Netflix series, the superhero drama will continue the story of Matt Murdock and his campaign against crime, including his conflict with Wilson Fisk. On top of that, Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio and other OGs of the franchise reprise their roles. I’ve been cautiously optimistic about the series, but with the release of new footage, one of my concerns has been assuaged.

What does the official Daredevil: Born Again footage show?

Marvel Studios has released a sweet sizzle reel, and it shows various sequences from shows like Iron Heart, What if…? Season 3 And Wonderful man. The first show highlighted, however, is the aforementioned DD: Born again and, as you can see in the video above, there are plenty of shots of the titular hero in action. Fans are also treated to quick shots of other big characters, including Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin, Frank Castle/The Punisher (played by the returning Jon Bernthal), and the villainous Muse.

What I really enjoy, though, is seeing a clip of a conversation between Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, which essentially spanned years. The two rivals meet at a restaurant, where Murdock discusses Fisk’s apparent return to power. With this remark made, Wilson then thinks that Matt’s “darker half” may not be so excited about this development, leading the two to laugh. Needless to say, it’s great to see them together again, but that’s not the main reason this sequence got me excited.

What worry did I have about the new birth, and how was this alleviated?

Daredevil: Born Again Updated Cast List, Including Charlie Cox

Those who followed the production of Born again can be aware of the creative changes he has undergone. It was reported in late 2023 that Kevin Feige and co. from Marvel. were not impressed With early scripts and footage, the series underwent a major overhaul, with veteran The Punisher writer Dario Scardapane brought on board to serve as showrunner. Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio also spoke about helping “correct course” on the series. With so many changes, I was concerned that the series would seem aesthetically disjointed and not match the style of the parent series.

However, now that I’ve seen this footage, I’m already convinced that the producers – in collaboration with the actors – have managed to recreate the feel of the OG series. It’s truly amazing how this TV schedule 2025 the entrance resembles its predecessor. Yes, we’re only treated to a few clips, but there seems to be some creative continuity here. I definitely want to see more, but this is a great first official showing for what could be an exciting show.

Some may still be skeptical about the intensity of the show. However, Brad Winderbaum – the head of Marvel’s TV and streaming division – made a bold statement. The EP compared the show to Game of Thronesin the sense that it is a very “scary” and “violent” place where various entities compete for power. It’s likely that the series won’t be as bloody as the hit HBO series, but the tease is still enough to intrigue me as to what’s to come.

Like many people, I have high hopes for this Daredevil show and I can’t wait to see more. There’s always a chance that it won’t live up to the bar set by the original series. Nevertheless, these sweet sequences are enough to convince me that Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio and their various collaborators are moving in the right direction.

Daredevil: Born Again is scheduled to be released on March 4, 2025 and you will need a Disney+ subscription to distribute it. You can also stream all three seasons of the OG series with the same subscription.
