“I can't say much, but I'll tell you that it's so exciting to be able to play in that sandbox," Winderbaum said. "Obviously, we don't have unlimited storytelling resources like a comic book. If you can draw it, you can do it. It's dealing with actors and time and the massive scale of production in order to build a cinematic universe, especially on television. But I can just say that, all those variables taken into account, it is certainly something that is creatively extremely exciting and that we are very much exploring."

What to Expect from Daredevil: Born Again

The series is both a revival and a continuation of Netflix’s cancelled Daredevil series, officially integrating its shared universe into the MCU. The show will follow Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, as he and his fellow street-level superheroes take on New York’s crime boss, The Kingpin (played by Vincent D’Onofrio).

The first season of Daredevil: Born Again premieres on Disney+ on 4 March 2025.
