Back in October it was revealed that Marvel Studios was completely scrapping Daredevil: Born Again and going back to the drawing board.

The Hollywood Reporter’s Borys Kit said they were planning a “significant creative reboot of the series.”

The reboot saw Marvel Studios can writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman as well as the show’s planned directors. To clarify, Ord and Corman were removed from creative duties, but remained as executive producers.

The original plan for the series was a legal procedural that did not have Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock show up in a costume as Daredevil until the series’ fourth episode.

A description of the show from the U.S. Copyright Office Public Records System stated, “Marvel Studios presents Daredevil in which longtime rivals Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) try to leave behind their darker alter-egos to serve the people of New York only to have their pasts catch up to them. In the first episode of the series we are reintroduced to the world of Daredevil.”

Not only did U.S. Copyright Office Public Records system reveal a synopsis it also revealed the show’s cast that would not only see the return of Cox’s Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin, but the show would also see the return of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher.

Other members of the cast included Nikki James playing a race replaced Kristen McDuffie, Sandrine Holt as Vanessa Fisk, Genneya Walton as BB Urich, Clark Johnson as Cherry, Arty Froushan as Buck Cashman, and Zabryna Guevara as Sheila Rivera.

Not only was the show reportedly a legal procedural, but scooper CanWeGetSomeToast claimed that the show followed Murdock a year after he had quit being Daredevil because he was unable to save Foggy Nelson.

The scooper shared on X, “Originally, Daredevil: Born Again had Matthew hang up the Devil’s cowl for over a year after failing to save Foggy…”

“Kingpin would’ve been Mayor, winning on a campaign of backing law enforcement while discouraging street level heroes like Punisher, Daredevil… and Spider-Man,” the scooper added.

By the end of October 2023, Marvel Studios announced they tapped Dario Scardapane, who worked on The Punisher and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan to showrun the series.

They also brought in Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead to direct the series. The duo previously worked on Loki Season 2 as well as multiple episodes of Moon Knight.

The directing duo gave an update on the series in the middle of November with Moorhead telling TheWrap, “It is day zero. We’re currently just consuming Daredevil content, not just the Netflix show but all the possible material. We’re just making our stew of information nice and thick.”

Benson joked, “We have the best answer for you. So you see this space we’re in right now? This is our office and we just found out we have an office about 45 minutes ago. And that’s what we’re at with Daredevil.”
