Disney+’s takeover of what was once part of Netflix’s Marvel slate withDaredevil: Born Againhas been a bumpy ride for all those connected — fans included. But it has now been confirmed that the series — which faced a multitude of setbacks — is on track for arelease in March 2025. The news came straight from the show’s superhero and villain asCharlie CoxandVincent D’Onofriotook the stage at Disney’s Upfront presentation to advertisers earlier this afternoon, not to rough each other up, but to deliver the exciting announcement. This is the most definitive answer that we’ve gotten for the release window for the show thatwrapped filming over a month agoat the beginning of April. Along with this huge reveal, Cox also confirmed that the cast and crewshot nine episodes totalfor the production’s big comeback.
Yes, for those reading and doing the math, the show’s 2025 arrival is a full year after when it was meant to premiere but these types of slowdowns have been haunting the MCU as — from Captain America to Agatha — no character has been safe from the studio’s scheduling delays. For now, we’re just happy to see thatDaredevil: Born Againhas actually beenborn again on Disney’s release schedule. The project was chugging along at a seemingly fine pace up until last fall when it was announced thatDisney was doing a creative overhaul. The House of Mouse decided to go in a completely different direction, scrapping the original plan and turning to directors,Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, to take the reigns. With the pair previously involved with Marvel and Disney’s seriesMoon Knightand Season 2 ofLoki, they were just the people needed for the job.
For the remainder of 2023, the creative teamliterally went back to the drawing board, reworking the next chapter in the story of Matt Murdock (Cox). By early 2024,cameras had picked up on the seriesand, shortly after that, the team started hitting fans with a slew of contentin the form of imagesandcasting reveals. It’s been fun to see the new direction in which the show is headed, whether it beMatt hitting it off with a new love interestor the highly anticipated return ofJon Bernthal’s Punisher.
