Charlie Cox On the One-Shot Fighting Sequence in the Previous Show and ‘Daredevil: Born Again’

It was finally announced at NYCC that Daredevil: Born Again will be coming to Disney+ on March 4th, 2025. This comes after a year of rumors and delays, as the original version of the show was scrapped and completely redone.

Based on the excitement from Charlie Cox and the rest of the cast, it seems like this was the right decision, with Daredevil: Born Again shaping up to be a true continuation of Matt Murdock’s story.

One of the main reasons Charlie Cox and Netflix’s Daredevil has become so popular is because of epic fight scenes fans likely recall, such as the hallway fight from Season 1 and the stairwell fight from Season 2.

Both of those fights are often called “oners” because they are filmed (or at least made to seem like they are) in one continuous take.

Luckily, Charlie Cox knows a lot about these types of scenes, and he talked about them with Collider’s Steve Weintraub at New York Comic Con. Cox also mentioned that fans can look forward to another complex fight scene like that in Daredevil: Born Again:

“There are different types of oners. So far, we’ve done three oners that are memorable. There’s one in Episode 2 of Season 1, which is a true oner. We shot it until we got it perfect, and there are no cuts in that one shot.

The camera moves around, films everything, and if anything doesn’t work, we do it again. It takes a lot of preparation. You have to dedicate at least a day or two days.

There’s something called ‘Texas switching,’ where, without cutting the camera, me and my stunt double, or Vincent and his stunt double, are switching places so that my stunt double is doing the things that I can’t do, and I’m back into the stuff that I can do when the camera’s on my face and stuff.

But you don’t notice it. We did a similar one in Season 3, Episode 4. Season 3 in the prison. There’s literally a moment where I’m kicking someone on the floor, and my foot is in camera, someone yanks me out from behind, and the next foot that comes in was Chris’, my stunt double’s foot. It’s really fun. The technicality of it is awesome.

Anyway, we also did a oner in Season 2, which is not a true oner. So, it plays like a oner, it looks like the camera continues to move, but every now and again, the camera will swipe something that is completely black, like a jacket or a wall or something, and when that happens, you can stitch together the different takes so it plays like a oner.

But sometimes you get a little bit more freedom, and you can do slightly cool stuff. So, we have a very long, very cool stitched one in the new season. I’m not gonna say which episode .”
