Is Daredevil: Born Again a Reboot or a Continuation?

Originally, Daredevil: Born Again was conceived as a soft reboot, meaning it wouldn’t directly follow up on the Netflix series. However, as production progressed and more returning cast members were confirmed, it became clear that the new series is a revival and continuation rather than a complete reset.

Marvel has not confirmed if Daredevil: Born Again will acknowledge every event from the Netflix seasons, but the return of Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Deborah Ann Woll, and Elden Henson strongly suggests that it will maintain significant continuity with the past.

Unlike previous Disney+ Marvel shows, Daredevil: Born Again will feature 18 episodes, making it the longest MCU series to date. This extended format indicates a deep dive into Matt Murdock’s life, blending elements from his Netflix days with a fresh approach for the MCU.

With Daredevil: Born Again just months away, now is the perfect time to revisit the past and get ready for what promises to be one of the most exciting MCU projects in years.
