In 2025, Marvel will not skimp on productions for the small and big screen. After a year 2024 particularly poor in new content, only one film in cinemas and three series on Disney+, the Maison des Idées hopes to come back in force with new characters like Wonder Man or headliners such as Fantastic Four et Captain America. Next March, one of the public’s favorite heroes will make his comeback. Seven years after his last adventures, Matt Murdock returns to service.
Far from the Netflix catalog, has the lawyer who puts on a suit to save the widow and the orphan at night lost his luster? After first images at New York Comic Con, the time has finally arrived to lay eyes on a real trailer. It must be said that the fateful date is fast approaching, the meeting with Daredevil Born Again is taken for the 5 mars sur Disney+.
Kingpin vs Daredevil
Born Again takes place after a small jump in time. Our three friends are reunited, Matt Murdock still evolves alongside Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll). He seems to have put his mask away for good… unless.
Wilson Fisk promises to be at the epicenter of the narrative. The last time we saw him in Daredevilthe antagonist had finally been put out of harm’s way. The series Hawkeye et Echo had delved into his career and suggested that a return to the forefront was to be feared. He is now mayor of the city and represents a threat to New York and its relative tranquility. Fisk implies that chaos is necessary, a situation that might just be enough to bring Daredevil out of retirement.
In the final episode of the first series, another antagonist was about to emerge. Bulleyes or the Shooter in French will be back in the guise of Wilson Bethel. At the time, he had not yet adopted his dual identity. We can expect him to truly take control of his alter ego to get his revenge.
Otherwise, The Punisher, still played by Jon Bernthal, was also invited. He was entitled to his own series, which was also canceled at the end of the collaboration between ABC and the American platform. He should be a major ally for Murdock in his fight against organized crime and especially Wilson Fisk. Even if the reunion is not warm at the moment…
The first images are particularly exciting and we can only underline Marvel’s desire to prove that its sequel will have nothing to envy of the Netflix production. The series is widely promoted as a continuation of the seasons produced by ABC and Netflix, we can hope that the same care in writing the characters and the narrative issues is on the program for the episodes of this first season headed by Dario Scardapane (The Punisher). This trailer looks like a profession of faith for the firm which must prove itself more than ever.

Why doesn’t Marvel have the right to make mistakes?
Long accused of offering sanitized films and series, Marvel finally has an opportunity to prove that its license is not only made of impersonal productions for the general public. In 2015, Netflix managed to hatch a series that was not only captivating, but also the perfect counter-example to the MCU, which is always quick to appeal to as many people as possible. By choosing heightened violence and a serious and dramatic tone, Drew Goddard’s creation stood out in an ocean of superheroic productions within the MCU as elsewhere.
For the story, it was a question of navigating between the character’s profession as a lawyer and the intrigues of a nightlife marked by crime. The series constantly confronted the two identities of the character played brilliantly by Charlie Cox. This resurrection will have to do at least as well to convince us. The trailer shared here seems to want to meet spectator expectations at all costs, there will be blood and sex, Daredevil in short.
If the first appearances of the character were fairly anecdotal, in She-Hulk, No Way Home and more recently EchoMarvel can make its demon from Hell’s Kitchen one of the key figures of its rebuilding MCU. If success is confirmed, the license could want to continue what Netflix had started, namely building a universe around Defenders and their acolytes. After all, at a time when the Avengers are facing powerful beings from the multiverse, a return to street crime could be the good idea that Kevin Feige was missing. In such a context, we are already seeing the emergence of an MCU that is more diverse in its approach to gender. The upcoming introduction of the Fantastic Four as well as the unexpected introduction of the X-Men proves that Feige has all the cards in hand, all that remains is to see how he uses them.
