Daredevil: Born Again is getting a complete overhaul, according to a major new report. The Marvel series has reportedly let go of its writers and directors as it looks to reangle the show.
PerThe Hollywood Reporter, a production break in mid-June for theWGA strikesaw Marvel executives, including Kevin Feige, review footage and decide “the show wasn’t working”. At the time, fewer than half of the show’s 18-episode run had been shot, and was angled as a legal procedural.
Problems arose from the fact it had a wildly different tone to the original Netflix show, which was known for its grit and violence, and only saw Charlie Cox’s crimefighter show up in costume in episode 4.
As a result, Marvel reportedly let go of head writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman and the directors of the remaining season to focus on a “creative reboot” of the show. Now, the studio is working on getting new writers and directors on the project.
Daredevil: Born Again was supposed to act as a reboot to Matt Murdock’s story after his run on the Netflix series Daredevil. The blind superhero was brought across to the MCU inSpider-Man: No Way Home, before having a more substantial role inShe-Hulk.
It’s future is now slightly unclear, but it was planned for two seasons and to act as part ofMarvel Phase 5. We’ll have to wait and see if anything is altered after the show’s creative overhaul.
