Vincent D’Onofrio Shares Updates Regarding ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Filming: “We’re Gonna Start Soon”
The past year has been difficult for the upcoming ‘Daredevil: Born again’. Despite ‘Born Again’ being highly awaited, the development of the show was not without problems. Like most projects, it was also affected by the historic SAG-AFTRA strike, and, at some point, the creative differences between what the studio wanted and what the writers delivered grew to be too big, and ‘Daredevil’ was once again in development.
In late September 2023, Marvel Studios decided to overhaul the first season of the series after filming fewer than half of its episodes. Head writers Corman and Ord, along with the initial directors, were replaced due to the studio’s dissatisfaction with the direction, particularly citing a significant departure from the Netflix version and delays in featuring Daredevil in costume. The studio aimed to incorporate some existing footage while introducing new serialized elements and aligning more closely with the tone of the Netflix series, with Corman and Ord retaining executive producer credits. Dario Scardapane, previously involved in Netflix’s Daredevil spin-off ‘The Punisher,’ was appointed as the new showrunner in October 2023, alongside directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, known for their work on Marvel Studios’ ‘Moon Knight’ and the second season of ‘Loki.’
Now, after a lengthy pause, Vincent D’Onofrio shared a promising and exciting update regarding the filming of the show in his recent interview with ‘Full Metal Jacket.’
We’re having a really good time right now,We’re getting back up. We’re gonna start soon, hopefully sooner than later, and Charlie [Cox] and I feel like the right vibe is there.
‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is set to be a soft reboot of Netflix’s show ‘Daredevil,’ which was only recently confirmed to be canon to the MCU. Not much is known regarding the overall plot of the series, but we do know that Murdock will be starting a new law firm and will try to put his past behind him. According to several rumors and reports, Muse is set to be the main villain of the show. ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is set to be released on Disney+ as part of Phase Five of the MCU. Originally planned for early 2024 with 18 episodes, it faced delays due to ongoing strikes, pushing the release to January 2025.
