With the confirmation of an 18+ rating in the UK and the intense footage from the trailer, it’s clear that Charlie Cox, who reprises his role as Daredevil, wasn’t exaggerating when he said the revival would be more brutal than the Netflix original. For context, the only other Marvel series to receive an 18+ rating was Netflix’s Punisher. Known for its violence, Punisher set the bar high, and fans are thrilled about the promise of Daredevil: Born Again pushing boundaries.

In a recent interview on the Phase Hero Podcast, Marvel Television’s head, Brad Winderbaum, shared his thoughts on Daredevil: Born Again.
“It is one of the most violent things we’ve put on screen, but it’s in service of a greater tragedy that is really compelling,” he said.
“I’m so excited for that show. I actually don’t think the audience is ready for this show,” he added.

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