‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 2 Will Be Action-Packed, Says Executive Producer Sana Amanat

by

In the gripping narrative of Daredevil: Born Again, I’ve found myself drawn back into the grimy realm of Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk. These intricate characters have been striving to distance themselves from their haunting pasts, yet it’s proving to be no simple feat. As the season reaches its climax, tensions escalate dramatically with a breathtaking confrontation unfolding at Mayor Fisk’s opulent inaugural gala.

In Episode 8, Matt confronts Vanessa Fisk, played by Ayelet Zurer, over her role in Foggy Nelson’s demise. The conversation becomes intense when suddenly, Bullseye, portrayed by Wilson Bethel, makes an appearance, causing a commotion. Ultimately, Matt receives a bullet intended for Fisk.

In a conversation with Marvel.com, the executive producer, Sana Amanat, shared insights on the behind-the-scenes happenings and hinted at what viewers might encounter during Season 2.

Amanat expressed that the experience has been truly exciting. He particularly enjoyed working on episode 8, as it embodied their vision for the series. He was pleased with how the audience interpreted it, and he’s eager to hear their thoughts about the final episode.

One of the standout moments in Episode 8 featured Matt and Fisk squaring off at an elegant ball, as described by Dario Scardapane: “Two words: ballroom dance.” Amanat couldn’t help but join in, finding it both entertaining and challenging. He explained, “It was a dance – not just the literal kind, but also a metaphorical one… It was loads of fun, but also quite tricky.

Amanat further elaborated that Daredevil and Kingpin share a profound connection, despite their attempts to alter their paths. “These two figures are essentially two faces of the same coin… They have an unusual, powerful, harmful attraction towards each other,” she stated. “Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk are multifaceted and intricate characters… Their compulsion towards violence and gloom seems remarkably alike.

A significant aspect of the series delves further into Fisk’s wife, Vanessa, in episode 8, revealing that she was behind the attempt on Foggy Nelson’s life. Amanat found her character intriguing, expressing an interest in understanding, “What kind of woman would choose to be with a man like this?” The creators wanted to explore this question, stating, “They’re two troubled souls… Yet there’s genuine love between them, and that contrast makes her character all the more intriguing.

Besides meeting familiar faces this season, fans were introduced to some fresh personalities as well. One of them is Cole North, portrayed by Jeremy Isaiah Earl, who originates from the comics but has an unexpected twist. Amanat hinted, “There are indeed significant surprises associated with that character… We believe there’s a lot more narrative yet to be unfolded concerning him.

Muse is quite terrifying… He’s an odd character with some unsettling interests!” she expressed. “Matt put the suit back, and look at what occurred in New York: It led to a serial killer carrying out his actions.

Does Muse align with a major theme of the current period: masks and persona? Isn’t Matthew simply Matthew when he isn’t Daredevil? Is Wilson Taleb Khan, or is he still the Punisher?

There are also some cool hidden details throughout the season.

Amanat clearly appreciated the reference to Ms. Marvel, and all the subtle hints about Bullseye, such as the tooth, he mentioned. He added, “There’s a particularly cool scene at the beginning of Episode 9 that revolves around Bullseye.

“I’ve been actively involved in the creation of Season 2, and let me tell you, it’s packed with high-octane action! We’ve been filming some exhilarating scenes that are turning out fantastic. The team is doing an incredible job, and there’s no end to the adrenaline-pumping moments.
This week alone, we filmed a major sequence with Wilson Fisk, and I must admit, it was like being a kid in a candy store!

Amanat shared that they gained valuable insights from Season 1, primarily on placing faith in their gifted cast members. She expressed, “Truthfully, you just have to trust them… The last two episodes were all about catering to the fans and us as well.” She added, “We’re really excited for Season 2, hoping it will be even more enjoyable!
