Daredevil: Born Again promises “visceral action” upon arriving on Disney Plus in 2025. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Brad Winderbaum, the head of streaming, television, and animation at Marvel Studios teased “some of the most brutal action” ever seen from the series, and that’s a tall order to live up to, considering what the Netflix series delivered.
“I’ll tell you, some of the most brutal action we’ve ever brought to the screen is coming in Daredevil: Born Again, which isn’t a horror show, but really it packs a lot of power and there’s a lot of visceral action, to say the least,” Winderbaum revealed in the interview.
His remarks align with a wider discussion connected to how horror elements are filtered into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in particular, with the inclusion of Agatha All Along, slated for release on September 18. Winderbaum believes “it goes back to the filmmaker’s intent.”
“The horror on screen in Agatha is going to be different than the horror on screen in Marvel Zombies, is going to be different than the horror on screen in Blade. It was different than the horror on screen in Moon Knight. It really depends on the vision of the filmmaker on what horror cues you’re pulling from. And that’s not just unique to horror. It’s unique to any genre we’re playing with. Obviously, there’s many different ways to tell a story.”
Daredevil: Born Again stars Charlie Cox, who returns to New York as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen following the conclusion of a three-season run on Netflix. Joining the cast are returning series regulars Vincent D’Onofrio, Elden Henson, Deborah Ann Woll, and Jon Bernthal.
To round out the cast include Wilson Bethel, Ayelet Zurer, Mohan Kapur, Nikki James, Margarita Levieva, Michael Gandolfini, Arty Froushan, and Lou Taylor Pucci.
