"Daredevil: Born Again" is currently on pause, facing a 'creative reboot,' according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter. This news comes as a surprise since Marvel had initially green-lit the concept where the actor Charlie Cox would reprise his role as Daredevil in a different light compared to its Netflix version, which was known for its action and violence.

The show was previously put on hold due to the WGA writers’ strike and issues with the initial footage of the show. Half of the 18, hour-long episodes had been shot, but Marvel executives were not satisfied with the direction of the content. As a result, the show’s head writers, Chris Ord and Matt Corman, as well as the directors of future episodes, were released from the project. A search for new writers and directors is now underway.

"Daredevil: Born Again" is expected to be a massive hit as Cox's previous appearance as Daredevil in Marvel’s "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" was well-received by fans. However, there appear to be significant hurdles that need to be overcome before production can resume. The show also represents a key moment for Marvel, as it has struggled to replicate its movie success with its TV shows.

Historically, Marvel has not carried out the traditional process of commissioning pilot episodes and then approving shows based on merit. Instead, they filmed entire seasons of streaming TV 'on the fly,' for budgets in excess of $150 million. However, this method has proved not to be as effective for TV as for film.

The company is reportedly trying to fix the issue and meet the high expectations the fans have for the upcoming show. Some of the previously filmed footage should find its way into the final product, and the original writers, Ord and Corman, will still be credited as executive producers on the two-season show. Marvel's head of streaming, television, and animation, Brad Winderbaum, asserts that Marvel is focused on merging its culture with traditional TV culture.

In response to this issue, Marvel is now looking to hire showrunners to oversee their projects from beginning to end. They are also planning on hiring full-time TV executives, thus distinguishing between their film and TV departments. Winderbaum argues that streaming and television are distinct from film and require dedicated professionals.

What this means for "Daredevil: Born Again" is uncertain. However, it is clear that Marvel is dedicated to resetting the course of the show. With any luck, the changes in production processes will result in an effective and dramatic comeback for Daredevil.

The news of the hold and creative reboot elicited feelings of disappointment and sympathy from Steven S. Knight, Daredevil Season 1 writer and director, who shared his sentiments on Twitter. Despite his disappointment, Knight sent out a message of hope and resilience for those affected by the decision, reminding them that "Tomorrow is a better day."
