All the MCU and Marvel Comics References in DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN


Listen Later

Based on the Nerdist article "DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN’S MCU AND MARVEL COMICS EASTER EGGS AND REFERENCES," here is a summary of the key points derived from set photos and videos:


  1. Return of Original Cast: A major highlight is the confirmed return of Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson and Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, reuniting the core trio from the original Netflix series. This suggests the show, after its creative overhaul, is leaning more heavily into the continuity and character dynamics of the original.
  2. Kingpin's Mayoral Campaign: Set photos prominently feature Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) campaigning for Mayor of New York City, directly following up on his trajectory established in Echo. This "Mayor Fisk" storyline has precedent in the comics.
  3. New Daredevil Suit: Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) is seen sporting a new, brighter red Daredevil suit, potentially closer to his classic comic book look than the darker Netflix version or the yellow suit from She-Hulk.
  4. Bullseye is Back: Actor Wilson Bethel has been spotted on set, strongly indicating the return of Benjamin Poindexter/Bullseye, likely seeking revenge or caught up in Fisk's political machinations.
  5. New Villain - Muse: Set photos reveal graffiti and posters referencing Muse, a relatively recent Daredevil villain from the Charles Soule comic run. Muse is a disturbing street artist who uses bodies in his "art," potentially tying into Fisk's anti-vigilante platform.
  6. "Born Again" Title Reference: While the show shares its title with Frank Miller's iconic "Born Again" comic storyline, the plot details seen so far (Fisk's campaign, Muse) suggest the show is not a direct adaptation of that specific comic arc, but rather takes thematic inspiration or uses the title symbolically.
  7. MCU Connections: The series firmly places Daredevil and Kingpin within the street-level corner of the MCU, building on their appearances in Spider-Man: No Way HomeShe-HulkHawkeye, and Echo.
