Yahoo Lifestyle “Daredevil: Born Again” will have 'some of the most brutal action' Marvel has 'ever brought to the screen'
"It packs a lot of power and there's a lot of visceral action, to say the least," Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum says.
Apparently we should all be buckling up for what's in store in Daredevil: Born Again, coming to Disney+ next year.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly about how Marvel's TV shows experiment with genre and tone, Brad Winderbaum, the head of streaming, television, and animation at Marvel Studios, teases the level of action to come when Charlie Cox suits up once again as the Devil of Hell's Kitchen.
"I'll tell you, some of the most brutal action we've ever brought to the screen is coming in Daredevil: Born Again, which isn't a horror show, but really it packs a lot of power and there's a lot of visceral action, to say the least," he says.

Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock on 'Daredevil: Born Again'Winderbaum's comments come as part of a larger discussion about writing the rulebook for horror within the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Agatha All Along, debuting Sept. 18.
"I think that it goes back to the filmmaker's intent," he explains. "The horror on screen in Agatha is going to be different than the horror on screen in Marvel Zombies, is going to be different than the horror on screen in Blade. It was different than the horror on screen in Moon Knight. It really depends on the vision of the filmmaker on what horror cues you're pulling from. And that's not just unique to horror. It's unique to any genre we're playing with. Obviously, there's many different ways to tell a story."
Marvel revealed the first look at Cox's Matt Murdock in costume for Daredevil: Born Again through a special anniversary spot celebrating Marvel's 85th anniversary. Meanwhile the cast members — including Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, and Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk — have been out and about previewing the show at various fan conventions, most recently Disney's D23 Expo.

Cox's Murdock first arrived in Disney's MCU with 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, while D'Onofrio's Fisk popped up on Hawkeye on Disney+. Daredevil: Born Again, from head writer and showrunner Dario Scardapane, will pick up with Fisk pursuing his own political endeavors in New York.
Many of the core cast members are reprising their roles from Daredevil, one of the shows Marvel made with Netflix before Disney launched its own streaming platform.

"Deborah and I had a scene where we find an old box — am I allowed to say that? I think I can say that," Cox told EW at D23. "We had a scene where we were looking through a box and we find stuff from the past, and it was real stuff from the past. It was stuff from the old [show]. It was like a photo frame we used on a set eight years ago and we were looking at it together — well, I wasn’t looking at it. But we were reminiscing over it, and it was sweet. It was kind of a little bit of life imitating art."
