Marvel's DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Wraps Production on First Half of Series
After a long rocky road of development and production, Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again has wrapped filming on the first half of the season! As it goes into post-production, the creative team will continue to work on developing the second half of the show and polishing up the scripts.
The news was shared by Daredevil: Born Again stunt coordinator Philip Silvera over the weekend on his Instagram Stories. He said: "That's a wrap. Congrats to our entire stunt team, cast, and crew. I can't wait to see everyone's hard work!"
Daredevil: Born Again was originally ordered for 18 episodes, and it’s expected the production only filmed around nine episodes of that.
Other reports have surfaced saying that showrunner Dario Scardapane would be working on the scripts for the second half of the show throughout most of 2024. Shooting is expected to commence in November.
It's also being reported that contracts aren't allowing Marvel Studios to call it Season One and Season Two, so the show will most likely be called Daredevil: Born Again – Part One and Daredevil: Born Again – Part Two.
The new series is reportedly inspired by the Devil's Reign storyline, which explores the power dynamics between Kingpin and the vigilantes who stand up against him. The story revolves around the power struggle between Daredevil and Wilson Fisk, who becomes the Mayor of New York City.
In this arc, Kingpin uses his newfound political influence to launch a crackdown on vigilantes, making their activities illegal. This leads to a fierce confrontation between Daredevil and Kingpin, with the latter using all his resources to hunt down and eliminate Daredevil and his allies.
Vincent D'Onofrio previously talked about the project saying: "During our restart of all the creative on Daredevil: Born Again, all the creatives got together and said, 'Look, this is how we've got to do it now. So we are for sure only speaking about it in terms of being directly connected to the original Daredevil, and that's a great thing.”
He continues: “It brings in a lot of cool stories and all the collateral story that happened in those original three seasons. So we now get to start this Born Again situation with all of that history behind us and the outcome of all that history. So we're all talking about Daredevil: Born Again in those terms now."
The series also stars Sandrine Holt Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Daredevil, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle / The Punisher, Vanessa Fisk, Michael Gandolfini, Margarita Levieva, Nikki M. James, Michael Gaston, Arty Froushan, and Clark Johnson in undisclosed roles. Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson will also reprise their roles of Karen Page and Foggy Nelson. Wilson Bethel is reprising his role as Benjamin Poindexter, aka Bullseye.
Daredevil: Born Again is currently being developed by directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, who worked on both Moon Knight and Loki.
