What will Daredevil: Born Again be about?
The show follows Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, who are busy with their lives. While Murdock uses his law firm to fight injustice, Fisk has given up on the crime world to become a political leader. However, when the two reencounter their past, all hell breaks loose. The official synopsis reads:
“Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer with heightened abilities, is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course.”
In an interview with Collider, Charlie Cox revealed that the show will have a dark tone, which hasn’t been seen in any other Disney+ series. The intense setting will make the show look similar to the Netflix series. Cox said:
"We're continuing the darkness of the first series on Netflix. It is gonna be that dark and that intense. We worked our butts off to make it that way. So, we're excited about it because of that. As far as I'm concerned, the biggest question that I get asked the most is, is it gonna be dark like the original series? And the answer to that is a definite yes.”
