Vincent D'Onfrio CONFIRMS Daredevil Born Again WAS A REBOOT

Daredevil: Born Again was supposed to reboot the MCU's Man Without Fear. Hawkeye and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and the Disney+ revival's Vanessa Fisk recasting made that clear. After a creative overhaul, Daredevil will be season 4. It will also change these characters' paths in a superhero world.

Vincent D'Onofrio, who played Kingpin, revealed in a recent interview that Daredevil: Born Again was intended to be a complete reboot without Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson as Karen Page and Foggy Nelson

"The way that we finally ended up doing it worked. It worked really well. It needed the connection to the Netflix show. It needed the other characters to come back. [It] needed all the familiar faces. The other iteration wouldn't have had that. It was a straight-up, 'Hey, forget what you just saw. This is what we're doing.'"

"That was tough for me to swallow. We felt emotional about not having the others back, you know, because our success in that show we believe, is not just because of us and the writing. We believe it's because of the whole cast. Elden and Deborah, those characters are theirs now. Nobody will ever play those characters as well as they did as far as I'm concerned."
