Fans have been shaken to their core by the shocking moment that takes place in the opening episode of Daredevil: Born Again. Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) has returned to full power and is now running the city.
Both Cox and D’Onofrio have been vocal about whether there would be a third season. Marvel is officially confirming there will be, and the production timeline looks very promising.
Charlie Cox as Daredevil
The panel featured a lot of reveals from the cast and crew. Most importantly, Krysten Ritter confirmed that she’ll return as Jessica Jones in season 2. The show’s first Season 1 arc followed Fisk’s rise to power and Matt Murdock’s fall from grace with Foggy Nelson.
The second season will continue to explore the consequences of Matt’s decline, including his battle with Kingpin. The first two episodes have already debuted, and critics are loving it. The series is off to a great start with intense action, a fascinating storyline, and an amazing performance from Charlie Cox as Daredevil.
Another big piece of news is that the show has been renewed for a third season. Marvel Studios head of TV and Streaming Brad Winderbaum made the announcement on stage. He also teased that the writers’ room is now working on Season 3. Hopefully, this means that we’ll see new episodes sometime next year. In the meantime, check out this exciting trailer for the upcoming episode. It looks like things are about to get even more crazy for our favorite blind superhero!
Recent Production Updates
Marvel is no stranger to bringing back fan-favorite characters from the dead, but this is one comeback that’s a little bit different. After a massive overhaul, a change in showrunners, and a lot of speculation, it has finally been confirmed that the Marvel TV series will return for season 2.
The first new teaser trailer has just dropped, giving fans a look at what’s to come. It appears that the series will pick up right where season 1 left off, with Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk on a collision course. The show also stars Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Royce Johnson, Genneya Walton, and Zabryna Guevara.
In addition to directing the latest episode of Daredevil, Cox is busy filming a Netflix movie with Jon Bernthal. He’s also expected to reprise his role as Frank Castle in a Punisher special for Disney+, which is set to arrive around the same time as Born Again next year. This year, Marvel Studios is working at a ferocious pace. They’re releasing three feature films (Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Ironheart), and three live-action TV shows (Daredevil: Born Again, Vision Quest, and a Punisher special).
Cast Details
Marvel Studios Head of TV and Streaming Brad Winderbaum has confirmed to IGN that the hit MCU Disney+ series will return for a third season. The news comes a bit after Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio both seemed to have differed publicly on whether or not Daredevil: Born Again would receive another run, with Cox saying it was the show’s “final season” while D’Onofrio suggested there was a good chance of a third installment.
Showrunner Erik Oleson has already teased that this season will explore the machinations of Wilson Fisk. Given the current era’s daily political themes about truth, perception, and proper forms of leadership, it makes sense for Oleson to dive deep into Fisk’s secret behind-the-scenes machinations.
As for the cast, it’s been reported that Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson will both return for a second season as Karen Page and Foggy Nelson. Also expected is Wilson Bethel to reprise his role as Bullseye. The character made a big impact on fans after his first appearance in the season 1 finale, and he’ll be back with a renewed sense of purpose and a black suit that will be part of the Shadowland storyline Marvel is adapting for this new season.
Release Expectations
After the success of Daredevil: Born Again, fans are anxiously awaiting the next season of the Marvel Disney+ series. Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane recently revealed that the team is already working on a third season of the hit drama.
While this is exciting news for fans, Cox’s recent comments regarding the second season of the show have some sceptical about the possibility of a third season. During a Comic-Con panel, Cox suggested that the second season of Daredevil: Born Again would be the last, which caused some fans to panic over the fate of their favorite superhero.
During the panel, Cox also addressed rumors about the possibility of Daredevil swinging by for a cameo in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The actor made it clear that he is not interested in appearing in the Tom Holland film. He did not elaborate on why, but he did say that it would be difficult to work around the schedules of other stars. This could be a hint that he plans to return for the third season of Daredevil: Born Again instead of making a cameo in the film.
Fan Reactions
The appearance of Cox’s Daredevil character in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is another sign that Marvel is continuing to find new ways to tie its various MCU worlds together. It’s an excellent move for a number of reasons. First, it lets fans get a glimpse of Cox’s character in a way that doesn’t conflict with his own show. While it’s not the same as seeing him as a regular character in either She-Hulk or Echo, the cameo is still a great way to build anticipation for the next season of Born Again.
More importantly, it hints at the possibility of a third season for the series. That news comes as a major relief to fans after confusion over Cox’s initial comments indicating that the second season would be the last for the show. D’Onofrio subsequently reassured fans that there is “a good chance” the series will return for a third season.
The upcoming second season of Daredevil will see the cast largely reprise their roles from the Netflix original series and previous Defenders episodes, including Cox as Matt Murdock, Vincent D’Onofrio as Fisk, Krysten Ritter as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Bullseye, Deborah Ann Woll as Victoria Flowers, Zabryna Guevara as Yvette Torres, Clark Johnson as Cherry, Genneya Walton as BB Urich, and Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk.
