Everything we know about "Daredevil: Born Again," where creepy villain Muse will join the MCU
- Charlie Cox returns to play Matt Murdock in "Daredevil: Born Again."
- The new series sees him face off with a creepy serial killer from the comics called Muse.
"Daredevil: Born Again" is giving Charlie Cox the chance to return as blind lawyer-turned-vigilante Matt Murdock, several years after the Netflix "Daredevil" series was axed.
"Born Again" continues Murdock's story as an attorney trying to help the poorer citizens of New York by day, while fighting crime as a vigilante with enhanced senses by night.
It's an exciting project for fans, who mounted a #SaveDaredevil campaign when Netflix canceled the show after its third season in 2018.
But in 2022, Marvel got the rights back to Daredevil and the other "The Defenders" characters — including Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Punisher.
Cox even made a crowdpleasing cameo as Murdock in "Spider-Man: No Way Home," offering legal guidance to Peter Parker (Tom Holland) when his secret identity is revealed to the world.
He also had a memorable appearance in "She-Hulk" episode eight as Jennifer Walters' love interest.
Now, Cox and some of the cast from the Netflix era are returning in "Daredevil: Born Again," here's everything we know about the series.
"Daredevil: Born Again" introduces the serial killer, Muse.
The first trailer for the series ran at the D23 fan conference in 2024, and leaked online soon after. The footage confirmed that the serial killer Muse has a role in the series, per Forbes.
Muse debuted in the 2016 comics by Charles Soule and Ron Garney. The killer made an impression on fans because he used blood from 100 missing people to create horrific art murals in New York.
His creepy appearance and brutal methods make him a real threat to Daredevil. He also has the ability to draw in any sensory information about himself, which makes it difficult for Daredevil to rely on his heightened hearing during combat.
The trailer has not officially been released, but Marvel fans already got a look at "Daredevil: Born Again" because it was shot on location in New York.
Photos showing Cox in his new Daredevil costume surfaced online in February 2024 alongside Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Poindexter, also known as the villain, Bullseye.
This confirms that Daredevil will face off with Bullseye again after their brutal conflict in "Daredevil" season three.
The leaked trailer also included a brief appearance from Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, also known as The Punisher. He starred in Daredevil season two before getting his own Netflix solo series which ran for two seasons until 2019.
"Daredevil: Born Again" releases on Disney+ in March 2025.
The D23 2024 panel for the series confirmed that "Daredevil: Born Again" starts streaming on Disney+ in March 2025.
The show was originally due to have 18 episodes, but Marvel overhauled the project in October 2023 and condensed the season to 9 episodes, according to TV Line.
Cox leads the "Daredevil: Born Again" cast, which includes Jon Bernthal, Deborah Ann Woll, and Elden Henson
Some of the returning cast appeared onstage at D23 2024, where it was confirmed that Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson are returning to play lawyers Karen Page and Foggy Nelson respectively. And Bernthal and D'Onofrio will reprise their roles as Frank Castle and the Kingpin.
It's reassuring for fans that the core cast of the Netflix "Daredevil" series is returning. This effectively ensures that the series is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and that this isn't just a reboot.
Also in the cast are Ayelet Zurer as Kingpin's wife, Vanessa Fisk, Margarita Levieva as Murdock's love interest, Heather Glenn, and Kamar de los Reyes as another vigilante called White Tiger.
