After a long wait for their return, Daredevil and Kingpin are finally back inthe MCU timelineon a more regular basis, asDaredevil: Born Againseason 1, episode 1 & 2debuted on Disney+ this week. However, even though season 1 has just begun, Marvel Studios is already focusing onDaredevil: Born Againseason 2, following an early renewal.
In a new interview withCollider, Cox and D’Onofrio were asked aboutDaredevil: Born Againseason 2, which is now in production, and whether or not they could tease anything from the next season. According to the two MCU veterans,they have read almost every script forDaredevil: Born Againseason 2, which will only be 8 episodes in the sophomore season, as they teased the following:
COX: I’ve read six of eight, and honestly—and I don’t normally say this kind of thing; I always err on the side of caution—that’s some of my favorite stuff I’ve read of Daredevil. We’ve got Dario Scardapane, who was brought in to pivot the show back at the beginning of 2024, who ended up writing the pilot and the last two episodes of this season that’s coming out. What he’s done so far with this new season is so cool and so different and so sinister, and I’m really, really excited about it.
D’ONOFRIO: I’ve read the same amount as Charlie, six, and I love where it’s going. It’s going to be quite something by the end of it, by the end of the next season. By the end of Season 2, there’s something quite amazing I feel is going to happen. We’ve both talked to Dario about the other half of it, but we’re not completely clear on it. We haven’t read the scripts yet, but they’re going to be delivered, and we’re going to read them. But I do have an idea of some of the details of what’s going to happen midway through and past, and it’s intense. It’s quite something. Like Charlie just said, I wouldn’t say that unless I felt it. It’s going to be a lot of work. We have a lot of work ahead of us. It’s going to be emotional and full of physical altercations. [Laughs] I don’t know what to say, but it’s going to be a crazy season.
