Marvel has released the first trailer for its Daredevil: Born Again Disney+ TV series, showing off the return of Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock from the Netflix television series.
Daredevil: Born Again, due out March 4, sees a number of other returning characters, including Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) and Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle (Punisher).
We see all the main characters reunite in the trailer, which includes particularly brutal action. Daredevil is in bone-crunching form as he takes on the criminal underbelly of New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.
The setup here is that Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk form an unlikely alliance in the face of a new threat: the artistically inclined serial killer Muse. We briefly see Muse in the trailer, looking menacing in his trademark bleeding eye white mask.
Muse is one of the more recent additions to Daredevil’s rogues gallery. The character was created by Charles Soule and Ron Garney and debuted in 2016’s Daredevil #11.
The trailer also provides a brief first look at Wilson Bethel as Bullseye, another Daredevil villain. Bethel returns to the role of Bullseye (aka Benjamin Poindexter) having played the character in the Netflix show.
Bethel stepped out as Bullseye in Season 3 of Netflix’s Daredevil, appearing in 11 of 13 episodes, but he hasn’t starred in the role since. Season 3 of Daredevil not only introduced Bullseye to the Netflix MCU shows but recreated the character from the ground up with a compelling and tragic origin, giving him a sense of substance that had been largely absent since his debut in 1976’s Daredevil #131. We’ll find out soon how his story will develop from here on out.
