Marvel’s Daredevil Born Again First Reactions are Here
The Daredevil is BACK! Daredevil: Born Again brings the Devil of Hell's Kitchen back with a vengeance six years after Netflix canceled Marvel's Daredevil after three seasons, sparking the fan-driven Save Daredevil campaign. On Monday night, Marvel's Man Without Fear premiered on the red carpet in New York, giving viewers the first look at the two-episode season before its March 4 Disney+ debut.
Blind lawyer Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Kingpin-turned-Mayor of New York City Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) reunite years after their last meeting in Marvel's Daredevil's final season, where Fisk made a deal with the Devil to keep Murdock's identity a secret or lose Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer).
Erik Davis (@ErikDavis): Marvel’s #DaredevilBornAgain comes out of the gate HOT! Among the strongest starts for a Marvel Studios TV show to date imo – the first two episodes are terrific, setting up a story that is part court procedural and part all-out brawling. There’s a fight in EP 1 that is all done in one shot w/ a wild ending – really kicks off the series in a memorable way. Honestly reminds me a bit of #ThePenguin in terms of a city in chaos and a larger-than-life gangster trying to rule all. Similar vibes but the fights in Daredevil are already next level. This show might have some of the best brawls we’ve seen from the MCU. I’m instantly hooked and can’t wait to see where it goes from here.
Chris Killian (@ChrisKillian): The first two episodes of #DaredevilBornAgain breathe a new, stylish energy into Daredevil that feels less grounded than the Netflix run, but more akin to the moodiness of the comics, which I personally loved. Prepare for a gut punch and avoid spoilers! (1/2) My biggest criticism is some of the CGI feels rushed, but overall, I loved the story and vibe of it all. This version of Daredevil feels much more like a superhero than he did on Netflix and is already probably my favorite Marvel Disney+ show in recent memory. (2/2)
Daredevil Updates (@DDUpdates): The show recaptures what made the original series so special but also takes it in a different direction. The tone and grit is authentic to the original show, and the writing never feels too dissimilar. The action feels sharper and better than the Netflix series.
