Marvel TV chief Brad Winderbaum has excitingly revealed how Daredevil: Born Again is taking inspiration from X-Men 97 . Speaking on episode two of the Official Marvel Podcast , Winderbaum revealed how the studio's Daredevil reboot is taking cues from its hit animated cousin, which is also a recent revival of the beloved 1990s show X-Men: The Animated Serie s. In short: it's all to do with bringing back a popular series – Daredevil , which originally aired on Netflix – and putting a new spin on its Disney Plus successor.
Asked for an update on Daredevil: Born Again , Winderbaum said: " Daredevil [ :Born Again ] is incredible. It's similar in some ways to X-Men 97 because it's reviving something that fans love, but it's taking it in a new direction. These characters have matured [and] the universe is different than it was.
Things have changed, society has changed, Matt [Murdock] and Wilson [Fisk] have changed, and their characters are going to collide in ways we've never seen before. It's no longer enough to try and murder each other; there's a whole game of politics at play." Daredevil: Born Again will launch on Disney Plus in March 2025 and, pleasingly, it'll continue the story that was being told in the Netflix TV Original before that series was canceled after three seasons.
The decision to pick up events after the original show was enthusiastically greeted by long-time fans, too, not least because Daredevil: Born Again was in serious trouble after Marvel admitted its in.
