The key to Marvel’s Netflix universe success wasn’t just the main characters, but also the array of intriguing supporting characters that breathed life into New York City. Now, with the upcoming March debut of Daredevil: Born Again, fans on social media are urging for Rob Morgan’s character Turk Barrett to return. From his initial encounter with Charlie Cox’s Daredevil in Daredevil to his final appearance in the second season of The Punisher, Barrett’s blend of criminal activities and unexpected aid to heroes made him a surprising connector, keeping the street-level universe cohesive while offering crucial plot connections and vital information to the series’ vigilante protagonists.
Barrett’s role in the Marvel/Netflix universe transcended mere comic relief or plot convenience, instead becoming a central figure with deep connections within New York’s criminal underworld. Initially apprehended by Daredevil in the first episode of Daredevil, his character developed into an indispensable informant, maintaining a strong grip on the city’s criminal activities. His influence expanded from Hell’s Kitchen to Harlem, making appearances in key episodes across shows like Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders. He supplied weapons and intel to a wide range of characters, including influential attorney Jeri Hogarth (Carrie-Anne Moss) and the Russian mob.
Morgan’s portrayal of Barrett stood out, especially during his interactions with the Defenders. These moments frequently found Barrett in precarious situations such as hanging from rooftops or being tossed into trash containers. The blend of humor and palpable tension was striking, as Barrett’s survival instincts consistently led him to compromise with dangerous individuals like Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio). Whether captured by The Hand or caught in the conflict between Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes (Mahershala Ali), Barrett’s knack for enduring, adapting, and preserving his unique character made him a crucial element in the Marvel/Netflix mix.
Daredevil: Born Again Is Reviving Netflix’s Defenders Universe
Marvel Studios’ upcoming Disney+ series intends to uphold the legacy of the Netflix shows, implying that Turk will have a role in the new production in some capacity. Initially conceived as a soft reboot, the project underwent a creative revamp, leading to the return of many beloved characters. Apart from Cox and D’Onofrio reprising their roles as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, the series has reversed its initial stance on excluding Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson, confirming that they will return as Karen Page and Foggy Nelson respectively.
Introducing Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and Wilson Bethel’s Bullseye solidifies “Born Again” as a faithful sequel rather than a fresh take on the Netflix show. By possibly reintroducing Turk Barrett, we can maintain the series’ unique blend of suspense and comedy while offering a recognizable perspective to explore Hell’s Kitchen’s criminal underworld.
From a die-hard Marvel/Netflix fan perspective, I’d be the ideal candidate to reconnect the dots between streaming eras. With my unique encounters with the major players in this universe, I could seamlessly restore the interwoven narrative that fans adored in the original shows. My return would not only serve as a bridge across time but also offer insights into how Hell’s Kitchen’s criminal underworld has transformed since the conclusion of the Netflix series. This fresh perspective would provide context for both long-time fans and newcomers to this extraordinary franchise, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the story as it unfolds.
Daredevil: Born Again premieres Tuesday, March 4th on Disney+.
