The show’s leads, Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio shared their opinions about the changes the show faced during production and believes that the show has “improved.”
In an interview with TVLine, Cox revealed that the upcoming Disney+ series, including his and D’Onofrio’s characters, will be different from their Netflix counterpart. He also believed that their portrayal of these Marvel characters has improved in the upcoming MCU adaptation. “Not exactly the same, but much closer,” Cox commented. “And potentially much improved.” D’Onofrio added to Cox’s comments, claiming that Daredevil: Born Again was “written and directed beautifully” and that all the work that was put in was worth it. He also claimed that working on the show was “as intense as we’ve ever been.”
“It’s hard to comment because I want to say so much about both the [Netflix] show and this show, and the change that happened, but in the end, the last few months of work we did was… written beautifully and directed beautifully….” said D’Onofrio. “Personally, I think it’s as intense as we’ve ever been.”
Daredevil: Born Again was first announced back in 2022 during San Diego: Comic-Con by Marvel Studios executive, Kevin Feige. During the Marvel presentation, he revealed that Cox and D’Onofrio will be reprising their roles as Matt Murdock and Kingpin. The show was originally scheduled to be released during Spring 2024 and would contain 18 episodes. However, it was reported in 2023 that the show had to start over from scratch and that Marvel paused production due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.
