Following the conclusion of Netflix’s acclaimed Daredevil series starring Charlie Cox in 2018, fans had hoped that Marvel Studios would revive the series, which eventually happened when the reboot series Daredevil: Born Again was announced at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2022.

Charlie Cox has already appeared as Matt Murdock in two MCU projects — Spider-Man: No Way Home and the She-Hulk: Attorney at Law series on Disney+ — while Vincent D’Onofrio reprised the role of Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, in the Hawkeye series. Now, they’re both set to return along with a bunch of new cast members in the upcoming reboot series, which is set to premiere on Disney+ in 2024 and run for 18 episodes.

First look at Michael Gandolfini in Daredevil: Born Again

Apart from some familiar faces, Daredevil: Born Again will feature many new cast members. One of them is Michael Gandolfini, best known for starring in The Many Saints of Newark, where he played the role of Tony Soprano. His father, James Gandolfini, originally played that role in the legendary TV series The Sopranos.

It’s unknown what role Gandolfini will play in Daredevil: Born Again, although some rumors are saying that he could play young Wilson Fisk or maybe even Richard Fisk, also known as The Rose, who is the son of Wilson and Vanessa Fisk. Gandolfini’s character remains a mystery, but we have a good feeling he’ll be connected to Vincent D’Onofirio’s character somehow.

The original Born Again comic book was published by Marvel Comics in 1986. Frank Miller wrote the comic book, and its story was already loosely adapted into the third season of Netflix’s Daredevil. Of course, knowing MCU, when a live-action project shares a name with the source material, that doesn’t mean the story from the source material will be closely followed.

Created by Matt Corman and Chris Ord, Daredevil: Born Again is set to premiere on Disney+ in early 2024. Consisting of 18 episodes, the series will have the longest season of any Disney+ original programming. Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio are reprising the roles of Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, while Jon Bernthal returns as Frank Castle, aka the Punisher.

Sandrine Holt joined the series as Vanessa Fisk, replacing Ayelet Zurer from the original series. Michael Gandolfini, Margarita Levieva, Nikki M. James, Michael Gaston, and Arty Froushan star in undisclosed roles.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
