Daredevil: Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane says the MCU show will be moving away from political storylines and returning to something that’s a little more street-level after Season 2.
Marvel Television’s Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 premieres on Disney+ next month. A continuation of the Netflix show, Born Again sees Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio reprise their respective roles as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Wilson Fisk/Kingpin.
The synopsis reads, “In season 2, Mayor Wilson Fisk crushes New York City underfoot as he hunts down public enemy number one, the Hell’s Kitchen vigilante known as Daredevil. But beneath the horned mask, Matt Murdock will try to fight back from the shadows to tear down the Kingpin’s corrupt empire and redeem his home. Resist. Rebel. Rebuild.”
What is the Daredevil: Born Again update?
Speaking with SFX Magazine, Scardapane said he has “mixed feelings” when asked if he enjoys the fact that the Marvel show has a “renewed political energy” and that there are some parallels as to what’s happening in Born Again compared with real-life.
“Stan Lee once said that he wanted to make his comic books a reflection of the world you saw outside your window,” he explained. “Then I also believe that what’s fun about the genre, and definitely fun in working with superheroes, is you’re dealing with huge archetypes, almost mythological characters, and that’s fun writing.
“Getting into the realm of politics, New York politics, the Game of Thrones intrigue behind the scenes… okay, that’s fun too, but as it becomes almost too topical it feels like it’s going away from the large, mythological genre stuff,” Scardapane concluded. “So as we finish up the Mayor Fisk run with season 2, as that storyline comes to its inevitable conclusion, what we’re doing going forward feels more like a return to the [Frank] Miller-era comics. So yeah, it was fun to play in the realm of politics, but I like something a little more street level, personally.”
Marvel Studios’ Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 premieres on March 24, 2026.
