First Look at ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 2 Has Been Revealed

by

Marvel has released the first photo from the second season of *Daredevil: Born Again*, offering fans a first glimpse of Charlie Cox reprising his role as Matt Murdock.

A new image from Entertainment Weekly reveals Daredevil sporting a sleek, black suit. The outfit is inspired by the Shadowland comic series and is showcased in a dimly lit, red-toned environment. Fans can also spot a subtle “DD” logo on his chest, indicating a refreshed appearance for the character.

I’m so excited about the new season! One of the biggest surprises is Matthew Lillard joining the cast as a really important character named Mr. Charles. Brad Winderbaum, who heads up TV and streaming at Marvel Studios, has hinted at how significant Lillard’s role will be, and I can’t wait to see it unfold.

The actor plays a character called Mr. Charles. The story explores themes of power, specifically how Wilson Fisk’s rise to power in New York – becoming almost like a king – makes him a major international figure. Mr. Charles is a new villain who’s as impactful and influential as Fisk himself.

I have to say, watching him navigate those high-stakes political and diplomatic situations is fascinating. It’s like he’s skillfully handling pressure from all sides – Mr. Charles has his own agenda, and Daredevil’s coming at him from a completely different angle. You can really see him getting pulled in multiple directions, but he’s still managing it all, which is pretty impressive.

Season 2 begins right after the intense finale of Season 1, where Wilson Fisk took control of the city and cracked down on anyone fighting crime outside the law. Now, Matt Murdock is building a team to fight back against Fisk’s increasing power.

Krysten Ritter will reprise her role as Jessica Jones and join the action, but it’s still unclear what will happen with characters like Luke Cage.

When questioned about possible celebrity appearances, Winderbaum emphasized the show’s overall narrative. He explained that showrunner Dario Scardapane is crafting a story—much like Stan Lee always aimed for—that mirrors real-world issues. Specifically, the political landscape of New York City plays a significant role, even within a story about a superhero in a devil costume. What’s truly impressive, Winderbaum noted, is how Scardapane intricately connects the characters and realistically portrays New York City, its government, and the rising opposition to Fisk.

It often feels like you’re reading a grand fantasy story, similar to something like *Game of Thrones*. The storytelling has a compelling element of palace intrigue, which is really enjoyable. I’ve started watching the edited footage, and it’s incredible. It’s not just about cameos or who appears, but something much more substantial. While there are definitely treats for fans, the core of the story is about the high stakes and the world that Kingpin is creating in New York City.

The new season will be a grittier and more thrilling story, focusing on the ideas of power, how it can corrupt, and the possibility of finding forgiveness. As Wilson Fisk strengthens his control over New York City, Matt Murdock faces even greater risks balancing his work as a lawyer with his secret life as a masked crime fighter.

The show stars alongside James Cox and Eric D’Onofrio, with Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, Ayelet Zurer, and Jon Bernthal also featured in the cast. Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, Michael Cuesta, Jeffrey Nachmanoff, and David Boyd directed episodes, and Dario Scardapane was the showrunner.
