Daredevilfans can expect to see a rebirth, of sorts, as the beloved series moves to a new streaming home.
Now, the series is being revived at Disney+ asDaredevil: Born Again. Charlie Cox, who stars as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, revealed what can be expected of the upcoming show.
“This has to be a reincarnation, it has to be different,” Cox, 40, told NME. “Otherwise why are we doing it?”
Fans recently got to see Cox’s titular character in an episode ofShe-Hulk, during which Murdock hooks up withTatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk.
The version of Cox’s Murdock shown onShe-Hulkdiffered from whatDaredevillovers were used to since he appeared as “quick-witted and funny and charismatic and carefree at times,” the actor said. When it comes toDaredevil: Born Again, Cox believes that there will be similarities and differences to the brooding character fans once knew.

“My opinion is this character works best when he’s geared towards a slightly more mature audience,” he said. “My instinct is that on Disney+ it will be dark but it probably won’t be as gory.”
For fans hoping to see Murdock/Daredevil’s story continued from the original series, Cox said: “I would say to those people, we’ve done that.”
“Let’s take the things that really worked, but can we broaden?” he added. “Can we appeal to a slightly younger audience without losing what we’ve learned about what works?”
