Timeline: When Did Daredevil and She-Hulk Get Together?

Daredevil: Born Again has ignited numerous questions among fans, particularly about Matt Murdock’s evolution and relationships. How will Matt (played by Charlie Cox) navigate life without his best friend? Is the uneasy balance between him and Wilson Fisk (portrayed by Vincent D’Onofrio) destined to continue? And crucially, when did Matt’s unexpected visit to Los Angeles take place, during which he became romantically involved with Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany)?

In the series She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, audiences witness Jennifer encountering Matt, a fellow lawyer who balances his legal career with his secret life as a superhero. Their interaction is an exciting junction of comedy and superhero antics, merging the personalities of two beloved characters in a vibrant display of red and green. This crossover certainly delights fans, making the holiday season feel even more special.

The light-hearted “walk of shame”scene featuring Matt in She-Hulk adds a memorable layer to his character. However, this leads to a more profound question: when exactly did Matt’s affair with Jennifer occur amid his complex life? This timeline intricacy has raised a significant issue for fans.

Understanding the chronology of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) can be daunting, especially with the convoluted five-year gap caused by the Blip and the continuity discrepancies demonstrated in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Nevertheless, pinpointing when Matt and Jennifer shared their romantic moment might be more straightforward than deciphering the MCU’s broader narrative arcs.

At this juncture in Matt Murdock’s journey, he has put aside his alter ego. Having mourned the loss of his friend Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), Matt decided to hang up his Daredevil suit. Yet, it appears that during the timeframe he met Jennifer, he was indeed donning the guise of Daredevil, engaging in a superheroic escapade that culminated in that infamous walk of shame—still in his vibrant suit.

Considering the timeline, it seems plausible that Matt did not attend Foggy’s funeral only to rush to Los Angeles for a rendezvous with Jen afterward. Therefore, it is reasonable to suggest that the events of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law unfolded before the premiere of Daredevil: Born Again. An intriguing element is the one-year time jump introduced in the first episode, “Heaven’s Half Hour.”

The episode opens with Foggy, Matt, and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) joyfully walking together, signifying the operational status of their law firm, Nelson, Murdock, and Page. This development directly contrasts with the earlier narrative, where their law firm was just an envisioned concept.

Thus, somewhere in the transitional phase between Matt’s commitment to his friends, representing Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) as a client, and his decision to step down as Daredevil, he evidently took a trip to Los Angeles where he connected with Jen. My theory is that this liaison happened sometime between the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home and the commencement of the current narrative arc featuring Matt, Foggy, and Karen.

Ultimately, it is likely accurate to assert that Matt Murdock’s visit to Los Angeles predates Foggy’s untimely demise.
