Quick Summary

A trio of promotional pictures for Disney+'s Daredevil: Born Again have appeared online.

The show will see a return to the adult-rated version of the character, with Charlie Cox reprising the role in March 2025.

We're not quite sure where it went wrong for Marvel, when it comes to MCU TV shows, that is, but wrong it sure went.

As good as some of the more recent series are, they failed to hit the critical highs of the likes of WandaVision, Hawkeye and the first season of Loki. And even they arguably failed to spark as much joy as Netflix debutees Daredevil and Jessica Jones.

Indeed, it is one of the latter that Marvel Studios and Disney+ are relying on to reinvigorate the concept for the streaming service. Daredevil is set to return in all his adult-rated glory and, if the first official shots are anything to go by, we think the television MCU could be back on track.

Exclusively posted by Entertainment Weekly, the three promotional images show the original cast returning in glorious fashion – not least Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin and Charlie Cox's eponymous Daredevil.

Fans will also be thrilled to learn that the original Netflix show forms the bedrock for Daredevil: Born Again. The new showrunner, Dario Scardapane, told EW that it will share some of its heritage but also bring something new to the table: "The real trick was to have the DNA of the old Netflix show, but then push it forward into something very new," he said.

It will continue the 18+ rating too, with Disney making the bold decision to revert the character back to his grittier roots, rather than continue the softened version seen in the likes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

The show will premiere on 4 March 2025, so we fully expect to see a follow-up trailer soon. You can rest assured that we'll also bring that to you as soon as it appears.
