Marvel’s New ‘Daredevil’ Is Reportedly a Disaster

Marvel’s Matt Murdock, aka “Daredevil,” might be a masked vigilante who loves to fight crime in the dark, but he’s never seen chaos quite like what’s reportedly happening behind the scenes of his new TV show, Daredevil: Born Again.

From 2015 to 2018, Charlie Cox played the eponymous hero on Netflix. Now, the new Daredevil will mark Marvel Studios’ first series based on a character who made his TV debut on another streaming service, with Cox continuing in the lead role, while Vincent D’Onofrio also stays on as Wilson Fisk. According to The Hollywood Reporter, things haven’t gone according to plan for the new series—in as much as there even is one.

Per THR, Marvel Studios “quietly let go” of the show’s directors and both of its head writers last month, after Marvel boss Kevin Feige reviewed the completed footage from the season so far. (Per THR, less than half of the season had been shot before production ground to a halt in June amid the writers strike.) At this point, the trade magazine reports, the season faces “a significant creative reboot” as Marvel looks for new writers and directors. Chris Ord and Matt Corman, formerly the show’s head writers, will now serve as executive producers.
