Summary
- Daredevil: Born Again seemingly aims for less dialogue, upsetting fans of the previous Netflix series.
- The show underwent a creative overhaul, with new episodes and scenes rewritten.
- Showrunner Scardapane promises more big action sequences and a New York crime story vibe.
Daredevil: Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane explained how the Disney Plus series will differentiate itself from the original Netflix series. However, fans are not happy with Scardapane’s comments and are now worried Daredevil: Born Again will miss what made the Netflix series great.
Daredevil: Born Again initially started filming with seemingly loose connections to the original Netflix series, which ran for three seasons before being canceled by the streaming service. Marvel Studios seemingly didn’t want to repeat what was seen on the Netflix series and went in a different direction. However, the 2023 actors’ and writers’ strikes afforded Kevin Feige and the Marvel Studios executives to asses the Daredevil: Born Again footage and determined it wasn’t working. Daredevil: Born Again underwent a creative overhaul that involved writing new episodes and reworking scenes so some pre-existing footage could still be used, with Scardapane brought on board as showrunner.

During an interview with SFX Magazine (via GamesRadar), Scardapane explained how Daredevil: Born Again is different from the Netflix show, noting that there will be more “fun moments” with the characters and “less navel-gazing.” Scardapane elaborated by pointing out what he believes was one of the weaker aspects of the Netflix Daredevil show. “The earlier show, at its best, was fantastic,” Scardapane said. “At its worst, it was two characters in a room talking about what a hero is. I felt that had been done. I’m not taking swipes. I just didn’t want to hear characters grousing about their lot in life. I wanted to see them doing things.”
Scardapane noted that during his time as showrunner on Netflix’s The Punisher series, their “edict” was to write long scenes of characters conversing to create space between the action sequences. However, since then, they are now able “to do big action sequences at a lot more pace.” Scardapane also noted that the Netflix series was a noir-esque, Daredevil: Born Again is more of a New York crime story akin to two familiar projects.
It has elements of The Sopranos and King Of New York. There’s a feeling for those classic ’90s crime tales. It has a pace and a scope that, for a lot of reasons, Netflix wasn’t able to do. They were very dark, cinematically, not necessarily story-wise, although there were some dark elements. We’re much darker.”
Unfortunately for Scardapane, fans don’t agree with his assessment of Netflix’s Daredevil series. Several fans on Twitter took issue with Scardapane characterizing the dialogue scenes as the show at its “worst.” Many pointed to the Daredevil season 3 episode titled “New York’s Finest” as one of the show’s best episodes, which almost entirely centered on Charlie Cox’s Man without Fear and Jon Bernthal’s The Punisher arguing over whose methods were more effective at fighting crime. Consequently, a few fans are now concerned that the creative team on Daredevil: Born Again has missed what made fans love the Netflix series and instead sacrificed great character moments for action.
It’s true that while the hallway fight sequences and physical confrontations with villains were among the Netflix show’s highlights, some of the most memorable scenes involved little more than conversations between characters in rooms. Scardapane may have misspoken, but if Daredevil: Born Again‘s violent action scenes come at the expense of these great character moments, fans will be displeased.
Daredevil: Born Again premieres on March 4, 2025, on Disney Plus.
