Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again Episode 4.

The ending of Daredevil: Born Again episode 4 introduced the Marvel fans to a new masked villain—Muse. The terrifying villain in a white mask with blood running down the mask’s eyeholes appears at the start and ending of the episode. The two scenes give us a glimpse into his sadistic, villainous ways. While the character is yet to get Daredevil aka Matt Murdock’s (played by Charlie Cox) attention, we can expect some intense exchange in the upcoming episodes.

Daredevil: Born Again, which debuted on Disney+ on March 4, 2025, has already given the fans villains in the form of Wilson Fisk (played by Vincent D'onofrio) and Bullseye (played by Wilson Bethel). Episode 4 also saw the return of Frank Castle (played by Jon Bernthal) as Punisher. But the mystery surrounding Muse makes the whole scenario more intriguing as we wait and watch how Daredevil is going to uncover the man behind the mask.

What happens with Muse in Episode 4 of Daredevil: Born Again

In Episode 4 of Daredevil: Born Again, Muse, a masked criminal, appears twice. At the start of the show, Muse is seen carrying an unconscious person across train tracks into the tunnel as he looks around through his creepy white mask.

Later at the end of the episode, Muse brings the person inside the tunnel. We get glimpses of the horrific surroundings with blood stored in containers, disturbing drawings of faces, and hanging bodies.

This hair-raising debut moment of Muse on the show assures that we are looking at one of the more horrifying Marvel villains.

While in the past episodes Muse’s graffiti have made appearances, now the audience gets to see the villain in action.
