DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN
Showrunner: Dario Scardapane
Starring: Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Nikki M. James, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Margarita Levieva, Wilson Bethel, Gennaya Walton, Michael Gandolfini
Charlie Cox first donned the Daredevil suit playing Matt Murdoch in the Netflix series Daredevil. The Marvel hero is back again in Daredevil: Born Again. The new series opens with Matt and his friends Karen Page (Woll) and Foggy Nelson (Hensen) out for drinks reminiscing about the old days. It’s worth knowing for anyone coming in without seeing the Netflix series that Matt is a blind lawyer who has a heightened sense of hearing. That ability comes in handy when a sniper threatens their evening. Matt swings into action as Daredevil but this violent and tragic night ends with Matt vowing to end his days as Daredevil. A year passes by, and now crime is on the rise in New York City. Former mob boss Wilson Fisk (D’Onofrio) is back in town and becomes the newly elected mayor of New York City. He has no business being mayor given his violent past. Both Matt Murdoch and Wilson Fisk come face to face proclaiming they’ve changed and moved on from their identities of Daredevil and Kingpin. Now streaming on Disney+
