Speak the devil’s name, and he shall appear. Daredevil: Born Again and the rest of Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ original series were missing from Comic-Con 2024. But Marvel made it up to fans at D23 when the studio premiered the first trailer for Daredevil: Born Again. The footage hasn’t been officially released online yet. But if these clips are any indication, fans of the first Daredevil series will be very happy.
The common theme in the trailer is that Daredevil is kicking a lot of ass. Matt Murdock is back, and he’s a force of nature. A few familiar faces from the previous show are seen, including Karen, Foggy, and even Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of crime. Daredevil Season 3 apparently hasn’t been retconned, because Fisk knows Matt is Daredevil, and he’s not afraid of him. They have a scene together in a diner that seems like a homage to Heat. And for some reason, Matt has multi-colored Daredevil masks including the yellow one from She-Hulk: Attorney At Law.
Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle/Punisher also makes his return in the footage, but he doesn’t seem to remember Matt. Frank is also looking pretty rough since the last time we saw him in The Punisher Season 2. More intriguingly, the trailer appears to introduce White Tiger, another costumed vigilante. But as some fans have pointed out online, he may also be Muse, a more recent Daredevil villain. Both characters have white costumes, so it’s hard to tell.
Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Ayelet Zurer, and Wilson Bethel are all reprising their roles for the series. Daredevil: Born Again will premiere in March 2025 on Disney+, and the second season will begin production soon.
D23 has been very eventful on Day One. Marvel debuted the first look at Human Torch’s costume in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew got its first trailer, Lucasfilm showed off early clips from The Mandalorian and Grogu, and Pixar announced Toy Story 5. Additionally, Avatar 3 got an official title.
