The second season of Daredevil Born Again is one of the most anticipated shows in the MUC's lineup. In a recent fan interaction, the star of the show, Charlie Cox, called season 2 the ‘Final’ season.


Marvel's Daredevil: Born Again series marked the MCU debut of Matt Murdock. The first season of the show was a hit with fans. It served as a soft reboot of the original Netflix series and was Marvel's first R-rated superhero show. In a recent interaction with fans at Galaxy Con, the star of the show, Charlie Cox, referred to the upcoming second season as the “final” season of the show. Also Read: Avengers: Doomsday: Florence Pugh is excited to work with Pedro Pascal and Paul Rudd Charlie Cox's calls Daredevil: Born Again season 2 the ‘Final’ season Speaking at Galaxy Con, Cox said, “There’s something that we do in this final season that doesn’t exist in the comics. So it is unique to our show and I’m pretty excited about that.” Now, this may be a slip-up on the actor's part, as Marvel had expressed interest in renewing the show for a third season. Or it could be that the third season of the show will have a different name.

Jimmy Kimmel on leaving the USA Speaking about Trump and his presidency, Kimmel on The Sarah Silverman Podcast shared that he might be another A-lister, who might move out of the LA suburbs soon. ““A lot of people I know are thinking about, where are they going to get citizenship?” Silverman said. “I did get Italian citizenship,” Kimmel replied. “What’s going on [with Trump] is as bad as you thought it was gonna be. It’s so much worse; it’s just unbelievable. I feel like it’s probably even worse than he would like it to be.” Also read: US Treasury Secretary calls India ‘recalcitrant’ in trade talks — here’s why Trump is in an open war with American late-night TV hosts. After Stephen Colbert's late-night show was cancelled on CBS, the President, in a post on Truth Social, wrote that Kimmel is the "NEXT." Following Colbert’s “The Late Show” being axed, Trump wrote, “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!” Kimmel also reacted to Trump via a post on Instagram, referencing Trump’s friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. His post reads,“I’m hearing you’re next. Or maybe it’s just another wonderful secret.” Also read: US lauds Pakistan’s crackdown on 'terrorist entities' According to media reports, Kimmel has already obtained Italian citizenship this year, proving his ancestral lineage.
