'Charlie Cox spills the beans': Is Daredevil: born again a new beginning or reboot?

Daredevil's Renaissance: Charlie Cox Uncovers the Mask Behind the New Disney+ Series

The enigmatic Marvel universe has always kept its fandom on its toes, and it's no different with the buzz around the forthcoming Disney+ series, "Daredevil: Born Again". The spotlight isn't just on the series, but primarily on Charlie Cox's portrayal. The query that's on every fan's mind - Is this the same 'Daredevil' we cherished on Netflix or a fresh take altogether?

Journey from Netflix to Disney+

The portrayal in "Spider-Man: No Way Home" mirrored the Daredevil from Netflix, a flavor fans were familiar with. Yet, there was a subtle shift in 'She-Hulk', which raised brows. Addressing the speculation in a recent chat with UK's iNews, Cox clarified, "I don't think it's a different character. I just think it's maybe a different period of his life." Eluding a clear answer, he teased about the concept of 'multiverse', adding to the already surging intrigue.

"A Whole New Thing" with Daredevil: Born Again

Delving deeper, Cox indicated substantial shifts awaiting in "Daredevil: Born Again". Reiterating it's neither a continuation nor a reboot, but rather a new genesis, he mentioned, “I think that the sense is it is a new beginning, it is going to be different, it is going to be totally different. It is going to be new stories, and new ideas. It is a Season 1, it is not Season 4, so it is a whole new thing."

Shedding light on the unique tone the series aims to adopt, he compared it to an 'old-school procedural', promising an immersive experience into Matt Murdock's life as a lawyer. “If that’s done right and he really gets his hands dirty with that world… I think there’s something quite interesting about that,” Cox elaborated.

A Darker Shade, Yet Not Gory

While 'dark' has always been Daredevil's palette, the Disney+ version will steer clear from being too gory. "It will be dark but probably won’t be as gory," Cox candidly shared, suggesting a nuanced balance that would appeal to a broader, slightly younger audience.

With Covert Affairs creators, Matt Corman and Chris Ord, crafting this 18-episode marvel and an anticipated premiere in 2024, "Daredevil: Born Again" promises to be an exhilarating journey, pushing boundaries while staying true to its essence.
