Fans of Matt Murdock are eagerly anticipating his return in the upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again. The excitement was palpable after the initial teaser, but many have been left wondering about the release of a subsequent trailer for this highly anticipated Disney+ series. Unfortunately, it seems we’ll have to wait a bit longer, but there’s a valid reason for the delay.
Recently, Vincent D’Onofrio, who reprises his role as Wilson Fisk (Kingpin), addressed the audience’s curiosity regarding the new trailer. D’Onofrio, who made a significant return to the Marvel universe in Hawkeye and was most recently seen in Echo, garnered a massive fan base during his time on the Netflix version of Daredevil. The forthcoming series Daredevil: Born Again will see him once again paired with Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock, an exciting aspect that has fans buzzing.
The footage released thus far has captivated audiences, offering just a glimpse of the thrilling content that awaits. With less than two months until the show’s premiere, anticipation for another trailer has peaked. However, D’Onofrio has revealed that the trailer has been postponed due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles.

This decision seems to resonate positively, as it reflects a sense of responsibility amidst the chaotic situation in California. However, fans are understandably concerned about the potential impact on the show’s release timeline, given that promotional efforts are now on hold.
D’Onofrio took the time to reassure fans regarding the release schedule, confirming that Daredevil: Born Again is still set to premiere on March 5, 2025. This announcement has quelled some of the anxieties swirling around the show’s future.

While some may question why such queries arise, it’s essential to recognize the loyal fanbase that has eagerly awaited this series for years. It’s a valid concern, considering the long wait since the original show’s conclusion.
I’ve Missed My Matt Murdock
The Marvel shows based in New York are often regarded as some of the finest within the franchise. Dubbed the “Netflix Marvel”era, these series allowed characters like Jessica Jones and Matt Murdock to come to life, showcasing their unique stories and struggles. Viewers were introduced to the formidable powers of Luke Cage and fell in love with Danny Rand, solidifying their places in the superhero pantheon.
However, the abrupt cancellation of these beloved shows led to widespread concern that we’d seen the last of these characters, leaving fans disheartened. The prospect of seeing Matt Murdock return, particularly with Charlie Cox reprising his role, feels almost surreal. The reunion of characters like Frank Castle, portrayed by Jon Bernthal, plus fan favorites Karen Page and Foggy Nelson, played by Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson respectively, offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
As fans, we are brimming with excitement at the thought of Matt once again gracing our screens. Personally, I appreciate the depth and complexity of this repressed Catholic character; he holds a special place among Marvel’s vast array of heroes. Reviving his story in the context of the current Marvel Cinematic Universe is undoubtedly one of the most strategic moves made in recent times. While we may have to wait a little longer for the trailer, the anticipation only adds to the excitement for what’s to come.
