10 years ago, you had the visuals and fight sequences to rival Gareth Evan's The Raid and Park Chan-wook's Oldboy.

Whilst also adapting Alex Maleev's and Frank Miller's Visuals on screen

I'm just simply ASKING you to do it AGAIN.

“Will say there’s a very cool moment at the top of episode 9. All I’m going to say is that it has to do with Bullseye, and it’s a little wink that our directors Justin [Benson] and Aaron [Moorhead] did. And I love them for it.”

Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again | Official Trailer | Disney+

[nerds-yearbook]

The Netflex Marvel Universe (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, and Punisher) originally started out as a separate pocket universe from the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). After the cancelation of the shows, fans began to campaign for the return of Daredevil and even ran a billboard in Times Square in 2019. Charlie Cox, who played Daredevil in the Netflix series, was officially brought into the Marvel Universe in his Matt Murdock persona in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). This was followed up by Vincent D'Onofrio returning to his role as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin in the Disney+ shows Hawkeye (2021) and Echo (2023 - 2024). Disney announced they were going to do a relaunch of the Daredevil series. When production started, it was only going to be loosely connected to the Netflex series, Vanessa Fisk was going to be recast, and Foggy and Karen were going to be excluded. Not far into production, a new creative team was brought in, and it was decided that it would be an actual continuation from the Netflex series. Aylet Zurer was rehired as Vanessa Fisk and Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson) and Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page) were brought back. Also returning from the Netflex series besides leads Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio were Wilson Bethel (Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter/Bullseye), John Bernthal (Frank Castle/The Punisher), and Susan Varon (Josie). Daredevil: Born Again premiered on Disney+ with a two episode launch (Heaven's Half Hour/Optics) on March 4, 2025. The first two episodes introduced to the MCU Hector Ayala/White Tiger (played by Kamar de los Reyes, who first appeared in Deadly Hands of Kung Fu 19 - 1975) and Heather Glenn (played by Margarita Levieva, who was first introduced in Daredevil 126 - 1975 and committed suicide after a troubled relationship with Matt Murdock in Daredevil 220 - 1985). The title came from the story arc by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli (Daredevil 226 - 233), where Karen Page sold Daredevil's secret identity to the Kingpin and the Kingpin then went about destroying Matt Murdock's life and reputation. In the TV version, Fisk already knew Murdock's secret identity, and Matt had given up being Daredevil after almost killing Bullseye, who had murdered Foggy. The first two episodes drew from a more recent story arc where Wilson Fisk became mayor of New York (Daredevil 595 - 2018) and made masked vigilantes illegal. This law remained in effect even after Luke Cage took over as Mayor and wasn't finally repealed until the events of Gang War (2023 - 2024). A special 3 camera rig was developed to create a new effect to illustrate Murdock's superpower. ("Heaven's Half Hour" "Optics" Daredevil: Born Again, TV Event)

Synchronic (2019)'s thesis statement

Canon Aces 239/?: Levi Danube (Justin Benson) Something in the Dirt (2022)

[daredevilsource]

‘It's a new path. We blow it up, the past.’

“The entire season, (Matt), and also, in some ways, Fisk, is denying a part of their true selves. There's an extremely pivotal event that happens, that causes him to put (the Daredevil persona) away and the event has to be huge. It has to be incredibly important because it's going to change a core piece of who he is. And so, we wanted to make sure that we told that story right. There was consequence to everything and it wasn't just in the drama, it wasn't just in the tragedy, it was in the consequence of violence.”

JUSTIN BENSON AND AARON MOORHEAD discuss how ‘daredevil: born again’ similarly delve into the broken humanity and violent nature that murdock and fisk have to deal with.

Loki at PaleyFest LA 2024

[insanityclause]

Indiewire has a piece on Loki, with Tom describing the process of acting and some other stuff. It is a nice article with videos but to get through all the adds is a bit exhausting :D

Lots of the same ad. Annoying, to be sure.

(3 separate videos at the link - one with Tom, one with Kasra Farahani, one with Benson/Moorhead.)

Throwback Video

The first of the Benson and Moorehead movies I saw before they got into the marvel tv shows like Daredevil born again right now. But also the first of there original movies I saw about a young man who falls in love with a 2,000 year old woman mutant who can’t fall in love because it would ruin her immortality. It’s a cool movie and one of there best I’ve seen so far.
