Daredevil: Born Again Trailer Breakdown: 15 Biggest Reveals From The Marvel TV Show Trailer Explained

:0:1

The new trailer for Daredevil: Born Again is here, featuring some major reveals for the upcoming new Marvel series. Set to premiere in March, Daredevil: Born Again will be a continuation of the popular MCU-set Netflix series starring Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock aka Daredevil and Vincent D"onofrio as Wilson Fisk. The new show will also follow up on both characters" previous MCU appearances in projects such as Spider-Man: No Way Home, Hawkeye, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and Echo.
In the new trailer for Daredevil: Born Again, rivals Murdock and Fisk are shown meeting at a diner. Both recognize the others" recent accomplishments and also confirm that they hadn"t crossed paths in some time. The trailer then kicks into high-gear with the reveal that new threats are coming to New York City alongside some pretty major status quo changes and some pretty intense action sequences. To that end, here are 15 of the biggest reveals we found in the new trailer for Daredevil: Born Again.
15 Wilson Fisk Is Mayor of New York City A Major Status Quo Change

The trailer confirms that Wilson Fisk has indeed become the mayor-elect of New York City, as was teased at the end of Marvel"s Echo. As such, Matt Murdock tells Fisk that he can"t help but shake the feeling that the former Kingpin is somehow "gaming the system". This is more than likely true, as many have theorized that Fisk will attempt to outlaw all vigilantes in New York for his own benefit and criminal enterprises.
14 Matt Murdock Has Retired As Daredevil "A Line Was Crossed"

Fisk questions why Murdock stopped being a vigilante. Murdock confirms "a line was crossed" as a shot reveals his mask dropping from a rooftop where multiple emergency vehicles can be seen below. It"s important to note that Josie"s diner can be seen below, the bar Matt Murdock and his friend frequented in the original Daredevil series on Netflix. As a result, it seems as though Daredevil has been retired for quite some time before the start of this new series.
13 Karen Page and Foggy Nelson Return Matt Murdock's Friends and Partners Close Elden Henson"s Foggy Nelson and Deborah Ann Woll"s Karen Page return alongside Cox"s Daredevil in the new trailer, Matt Murdock"s closest friends and partners from the original Netflix series. Prior to the show being reworked and largely reshot, Henson and Woll were not part of the show"s cast. As such, it"s very exciting to see them with Cox"s Matt Murdock again.
12 When Daredevil: Born Again Takes Place on the MCU Timeline It Looks Like 2026

Daredevil: Born Again features shots of Times Square at New Year"s. Seeing as how Hawkeye took place at Christmas in 2024 and Echo took place in 2025, it stands to reason that Fisk was elected in November 2025 and that the present-day of Daredevil: Born Again will largely be set in 2026. That said, it does seem as though the new MCU series will feature some time jumps, if only to explain more of the events that transpired between Netflix"s Daredevil season 3 and Daredevil: Born Again.
11 Bullseye Returns (And He's Walking) Close Wilson Bethel"s Benjamin Poindexter aka Bullseye returns in the new Daredevil: Born Again trailer as well. He"s also shown walking, which is a big deal considering he was left paralyzed by Fisk at the end of Daredevil season 3, and the series ended with a final scene of Bullseye undergoing experimental spinal surgery by one Doctor Oyama. In the comics, Bullseye had a similar experimental operation by Oyama involving adamantium. As such, the same could also be true in the MCU, considering adamantium will make its debut in Captain America: Brave New World which releases only a couple weeks before Daredevil: Born Again.
10 Daredevil Has A New Love Interest Played by Margarita Levieva

While currently unnamed, it looks as though Matt Murdock has a new love interest played by Margarita Levieva. Levieva recently played Mother Koril in the Star Wars series The Acolyte. As far as who she might be playing in Daredevil: Born Again, it"s possible she could be playing classic Daredevil love-interests from the comics such as Kirsten McDuffie, though there have been some rumors that she"ll be playing Heather Glenn.
9 Muse Emerges As A Major New York Threat A Dark Villain From The Comics Close New York looks to be under attack by Muse, a street artist/serial killer who paints using his victims" blood. A truly dark villain in the Daredevil comics, Muse"s killing spree has connections to both Frank Castle"s Punisher and Wilson Fisk"s term as mayor. As such, it will be very exciting to see how the MCU adapts Muse and his history on the page for the screen.
8 Vanessa and Fisk Are Reunited (And Still Married)

Ayelet Zurer returns as Vanessa Fisk, the former Kingpin"s wife who married him at the end of Daredevil season 3. Seeing how their wedding was interrupted by Daredevil and Fisk"s arrest, it will be fascinating to see how the couple was able to reunite. Likewise, the painting that first brought them together in Daredevil season 1 is shown in the background, including the blood stains from when Daredevil stopped himself from nearly beating Fisk to death at the end of Daredevil season 3.
7 Frank Castle's Punisher Returns (Is He Friend or Foe?) Close Jon Bernthal"s Frank Castle aka Punisher is shown in the trailer, seen holding a hatchet and threatening Matt Mudock. At the moment, it"s unclear if The Punisher and Daredevil will be friends or enemies in this new series, though they did end up briefly as allies the last time they saw each other at the end of Daredevil season 2. Bernthal"s return is very exciting, and it"s recently been teased that The Punisher may have a future in the MCU beyond Daredevil: Born Again.
6 First Look At The MCU's White Tiger Hector Ayala

The new Daredevil: Born Again provides a first look as White Tiger in the MCU. Real name Hector Ayala, White Tiger is another New York-based vigilante who will seemingly get wrapped up in the new chaos that"s coming to New York City, the same chaos that will seemingly get Matt Murdock to on his iconic mask once more. Hector is also only the first White Tiger in Marvel Comics, as his sister Ava eventually takes on the mantle as well.
5 Multiple Daredevil Masks Revealed A Lot of Styles To Choose From

Multiple Daredevil masks are shown in the new trailer. While there"s the classic red, there"s also the yellow seen in She-Hulk that was inspired by Daredevil"s original costume in the comics. There are also silver and black masks as well, showcasing the variety of styles at Murdock"s disposal, which is pretty rare to see with MCU heroes who typically wear just one singular suit before moving onto a new look at the end of their most recent appearance or at the start of their next.
4 Daredevil Will Use His Billy Club More His Classic Comics Weapon

While he did have his billy club in the Netflix series, it already looks as though Daredevil will be using his signature weapon to a much higher degree in the new MCU revival. It"s especially exciting to see him using the steel fiber cable in combat to take down Muse, something that was pretty rare in the previous series.
3 Daredevil: Born Again Trailer Teases Luke Cage Harlem's Paradise Close The Times Square shot of Mayor Fisk addressing the city features an ad for Harlem"s Paradise. This is the jazz club that was owned by Mariah Dillard/Stokes and given to Luke Cage at the end of Netflix"s Luke Cage season 2. As such, it could be a tease that Luke Cage himself might make an appearance in the new Daredevil show. Daredevil and Luke have teamed up before, as seen in Netflix"s Defenders crossover event that also featured Jessica Jones and Danny Rand"s Iron Fist.
2 Daredevil: Born Again Also Features A Subtle Ant-Man & The Wasp Reference Pym van Dyne Foundation

Times Square also features an ad for the Hope van Dyne Foundation, the foundation owned by The Wasp that uses Pym particles to help and innovate the world. While briefly mentioned in 2023"s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, it would be nice to learn more about their work and how they are working to improve society using the MCU"s impressive shrinking and enlarging technology.
1 A Major Tragedy Is Being Teased In Daredevil's New Trailer Josie's Gets Attacked

The Daredevil mask falling above Josie"s Bar, Matt Murdock having a new love interest, and the lone gunman attacking what looks to be Josie"s all lead to the strong tease that a major tragedy will likely strike in the initial episodes of Daredevil: Born Again. As such, it could be that the "line that was crossed" was the death of either Foggy, Karen, or both of Matt Mudock"s closet friends. That would certainly motivate him to hang up the horns for an extended period of time (though that"s currently just conjecture).
Daredevil: Born Again is set to premiere March 4th on Disney+.
