Early Buzz is In: Critics Rave About Daredevil: Born Again's Grit Brutality and Connection to the Netflix Vibe
Good news Daredevil faithful the first reactions are pouring in and they are sounding great. Critics who have seen the first two episodes are saying this show is the real deal. They are praising it as a true continuation of the Netflix series. So if you loved that gritty street-level feel it sounds like Born Again is delivering.
Words like "gritty" "intense" "brutal" and "bloody" are being thrown around in early reactions. Critics are highlighting the action the storyline and of course the return of Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin. Some are even saying it might be the best MCU series yet! That is high praise indeed. It seems like Marvel is serious about keeping the tone and feel that fans loved from the original Netflix show.
Behind the Scenes Drama to On-Screen Triumph: How Daredevil: Born Again Overcame Production Hurdles
The road to Daredevil: Born Again has not been smooth. There were reports of production shutdowns creative changes and a reboot after filming had already started. It sounds like Marvel really wanted to get this right and they were willing to make some big changes to ensure the show lived up to expectations.
Originally Matt Corman and Chris Ord were hired as head writers but they were later replaced by Dario Scardapane who worked on The Punisher. Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead known for Moon Knight and Loki Season 2 joined as directors. It sounds like they really went back to the drawing board to refocus the show and make sure it honored the Netflix legacy while fitting into the MCU.
Vincent D'Onofrio even said that the rebooted version is almost like a "fourth season" of the Netflix show. He mentioned they "blew up" the past iteration but kept the connections and brought back key characters. It seems like the creative team listened to what fans wanted and worked hard to deliver.
Violence is Back on the Menu? Daredevil: Born Again Promises Brutal Action and Bone-Crunching Moments
One of the big questions fans had was would Daredevil: Born Again keep the violence and grit of the Netflix series? Well according to Charlie Cox and early reactions the answer is a resounding YES. Cox promised that every " brutal violent moment " made it into the show. He even mentioned filming scenes where they shot alternative takes that were less violent just in case but in the end the "more brutal more violent breaks or moments" are all in there.
Director Justin Benson even laughed about some practical effects being so intense they didn't know if they could get away with them on Disney+. Vincent D'Onofrio credited the special effects team for making some truly shocking moments happen practically without CGI. It sounds like Daredevil: Born Again is not pulling any punches (pun intended!). They are aiming for that "street-level" "gritty" action that fans loved about the original.
Netflix Daredevil Universe Characters Return: Punisher Karen Page and Foggy Nelson Are Back!
Speaking of honoring the Netflix legacy get ready to see some familiar faces. Besides Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio a bunch of other key characters from the Netflix Daredevil universe are returning for Born Again.
Get ready for:
- Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher
- Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page
- Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson
- Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk
- Wilson Bethel as Bullseye
Having these characters back is a huge deal for fans of the original Netflix shows. These actors and their characters were a big part of what made that corner of the Marvel universe so compelling. It will be great to see how their stories continue in Born Again and how they interact with Daredevil and Kingpin once again.
From Netflix to Disney+ to the Big Screen? Daredevil and Kingpin's MCU Journey So Far
Even though Daredevil was cancelled on Netflix back in 2018 Marvel always hinted that we had not seen the last of the Man Without Fear. And they were right! Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio have already made appearances in other MCU projects before Born Again.
Charlie Cox's Daredevil made a cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home as Peter Parker's lawyer. He also showed up in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law in both his lawyer and Daredevil personas even having a bit of a flirtation with She-Hulk herself. Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin made his MCU debut in Hawkeye as the mysterious "Uncle" and then played a major role in the Echo series.
These appearances were a way to ease Daredevil and Kingpin into the wider MCU and build anticipation for their own new series. Now Daredevil: Born Again is finally here to fully bring these street-level heroes into the Disney+ fold and potentially beyond.
Is This Just the Beginning? Could More Netflix Marvel Heroes Join the MCU?
With Daredevil leading the charge could we see more of the Netflix Marvel heroes return to the MCU? It sounds like it is definitely a possibility. Marvel executive Brad Winderbaum hinted that characters like Jessica Jones Luke Cage and Iron Fist could follow in Daredevil's footsteps.
He mentioned that Marvel is excited to play in that "sandbox" and explore those characters again. While he acknowledged the challenges of balancing storytelling resources and production scale he made it clear that bringing back more Netflix Marvel heroes is something they are "very much exploring". So if Daredevil: Born Again is a success it could open the door for a full-on Netflix Marvel universe revival within the MCU. Fingers crossed!
