It’s refreshing to see Marvel embracing the raw, emotional grit that made Daredevil stand out, especially with Cox’s nuanced take on Murdock. If they can pull off that balance of heavy character drama and brutal action, this could be a standout moment for the MCU’s street-level storytelling.

It sounds like *Daredevil: Born Again* is doubling down on the gritty, emotional weight that made the Netflix series so compelling, which is a win for fans craving depth over spectacle. I’m curious to see how they balance that darker tone with the broader MCU vibe—hopefully, it doesn’t lose its edge in the process.
