Is Daredevil: Born Again Season 4 of the Netflix Series?

by

Matt Murdock, along with Marvel’s street-level heroes, returns in the new series titled “Daredevil: Born Again“. Following brief cameos in shows like “Spider-Man: No Way Home“, “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law“, and “Echo“, this series puts the Man without Fear front and center with a raw, intense style. The gritty atmosphere of the new trailer for “Daredevil: Born Again” is reminiscent of its Netflix days while also leaving fans pondering the show’s placement in the timeline. With many characters from the original three seasons of “Daredevil” set to reappear, it seems like this Disney+ series could serve as a fourth season, but is it truly so?

For those Marvel enthusiasts who might not have been following all the updates and production changes regarding Daredevil: Born Again, it may seem like a continuation of the story from Netflix, essentially a season 4 of Marvel’s Daredevil. However, Daredevil: Born Again is actually something different. The trailer for this show offers glimpses of characters such as Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio), Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), Punisher (Jon Bernthal), and Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) – all of whom were featured in the Netflix version of Daredevil. In Daredevil: Born Again, these characters will likely delve into events that transpired in the past.

The intriguing aspect of Daredevil’s conflict with Kingpin lies in the fact that his adversary, Kingpin or Wilson Fisk, is aware of Daredevil’s hidden identity, Matt Murdock. This revelation occurred in the “Born Again” comic saga, which the Disney+ series derives its name from. However, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Kingpin discovers Matt Murdock is Daredevil during season 3. Our latest teaser for Daredevil: Born Again opens with Matt and Wilson Fisk facing off across a diner table.

I, an ardent fan, find myself intrigued by a hint dropped in Netflix’s Daredevil, which subtly foreshadows Daredevil: Born Again. Kingpin poses a question to Matt, inquiring why he abandoned his vigilante ways. This query leaves the answer hanging in the balance for viewers, creating an anticipation that we will uncover as the series unfolds. This intriguing connection between the two shows is one piece of evidence demonstrating how Netflix’s Daredevil lays the groundwork for its sequel, Daredevil: Born Again.

Matt Murdock, Karen Page, and Foggy are back together again

The third season of Daredevil concluded with a heartwarming reunion between Matt Murdock, Karen Page, and Foggy Nelson. They pondered the idea of reuniting their legal partnership, Nelson & Murdock. Prior to the creative revamp of Daredevil: Born Again, rumors circulated that it aimed to establish a fresh dynamic by avoiding references to previous seasons. Actor Charlie Cox confirmed that one character was planned for a reboot in Daredevil: Born Again.

Initially, Elden wasn’t asked to be part of the show… Originally, they had planned a cameo for him in the first episode to connect the series, but this was abandoned in the updated version. Instead, the Disney+ series has shifted its focus from a reboot to embracing its past as Daredevil: Born Again replaced its writers and directors. This change brought characters like Karen, Foggy, and Punisher back into the fold.

Wilson Fisk is Mayor of New York City

Previously on Daredevil season 3, Wilson Fisk found himself returning to prison following an attempt to destroy Daredevil’s life. Now, we transition from “Inmate Wilson Fisk” to “Mayor Wilson Fisk of New York City,” moving forward from the plot points in Marvel’s Echo and Hawkeye. What a remarkable transformation, as this is reminiscent of another Kingpin storyline in the comics where he became Mayor.

As a devoted fan, I must confess that none of the three seasons of Daredevil hinted at the path Kingpin’s story would ultimately take. However, these series have certainly laid some intriguing groundwork for a potential new show. How will Daredevil confront his most formidable foe, now wielding such immense power? And what drastic measures might Daredevil resort to in order to strip Kingpin of it all?

Fans of costumes will appreciate the nod to the different masks worn by Daredevil in the latest trailer. A total of five masks are shown, including what appear to be two red ones previously seen on Netflix’s Daredevil, as well as the yellow mask from She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. However, one mask is noticeably absent – his homemade black mask that would match his all-black suit.

Masks hint at Daredevil’s past and pave the way for his future developments. Actor Wilson Bethel, who portrays Bullseye, has revealed that there will be a time leap from the previous season of Daredevil to the upcoming series titled Daredevil: Born Again.

Essentially, Bethel mentioned that after a five-year gap, the show “Born Again” will continue. The story doesn’t resume immediately from where we left off; instead, it jumps forward five years. This means that the characters have lived through five years of life and experienced various events during this time. Although not all of these stories may be shown on screen, the passage of time adds a layer of depth to the characters, providing actors with an opportunity to incorporate their personal experiences and growth into their performances, making the characters seem more mature or seasoned.

Daredevil: Born Again IS Season 4 of the Netflix series

To summarize, even though Marvel doesn’t label Daredevil: Born Again as season 4 of the Netflix series, its continuation of previous storylines makes it feel like a fourth season. There is a definite time jump and creative changes to align Daredevil: Born Again with what preceded it.

As a diehard fan of Daredevil, I must say, the anticipation is palpable for his grand return! What fans have yearned for all these years – the gritty action and intense violence that made Daredevil on Netflix an unforgettable experience – is now being brought to the Disney+ platform. The highly-anticipated series, Daredevil: Born Again, premieres on March 4th!
