Insights into the Plot of Daredevil: Born Again

Matt Murdock Faces Off Against Wilson Fisk

Per the description released during Disney’s D23 event, Daredevil: Born Again will reintroduce audiences to Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer with extraordinary abilities, along with his relentless adversary, Wilson Fisk, now deep into his own political aspirations in New York City. Trailers showcase how Matt has stepped away from his vigilante role, inviting speculation about the passage of time since his last appearances in She-Hulk and Echo.

As the plot unfolds, Murdock must confront the risks of reclaiming his identity as Daredevil amidst emerging threats in New York, as Fisk rebuilds his reputation as the Kingpin. An exclusive interview with Charlie Cox for Empire Magazine highlighted the continuity of Daredevil: Born Again, despite initial concepts of a complete reboot. Cox noted, “a few years have passed” since the original series finale, implying character growth and shifts in dynamics.

“There was talk early on about reinventing the whole thing, to see if Matt was a slightly different person. But it ended up more of a continuation. A lot of the history follows on. The relationships and dynamics set up in the previous seasons still exist.

A few years have passed. In that time, Matt, Foggy, and Karen have found a pretty good rhythm. Matt’s made peace with his role both as a lawyer and a vigilante. Then, of course, s*** hits the fan.”
