DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Taps ‘Loki’ Duo To Finish Out Season One For Disney+
Film duo Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (The Endless, Synchronic) are adding to their Marvel creds following their work on Disney+ series “Moon Knight” well as season two of Loki. The two are now joining the current production of Daredevil: Born Again, to direct the remaining episodes of the series following recent reports of the studio’s change of creative direction and reconfiguration of its TV production model. They join Dario Scardpane who is showrunner on the series with former showrunners Chris Ord and Matt Corman exec producing.
Long prior to the show’s streaming debut on Disney+ bundled along with other Marvel shows, lead actor Charlie Cox carried all three seasons of the show’s run on Netflix as “Daredevil” since its launch in 2015 until its cancellation in 2018. He also co-headlined its superhero ensemble spin-off, “The Defenders” all on Netflix, reprises the title role once more. The show’s legacy also carries on via the big screen with Cox cameoing in Spider-Man: No Way Home, in addition to the Tatiana Maslany-led “She-Hulk: Attorney At Law” donning a new costume; Vincent D’onofro’s antagonistic Wilson Fisk left a mark in 2021’s “Hawkeye,” whose co-star Alaqua Cox will lead her own Marvel series, “Echo” in which “the man without fear” himself will also appear; In 2016, Jon Bernthal made his entry opposite Cox as “The Punisher” for the show’s second season before getting his own standalone series in which Deborah Ann Woll’s “Daredevil” series regular Karen Page, also briefly appears.
According to THR‘s Borys Kit, Scardpane will write new episodes and scenes weaving into what has already been shot as Benson and Moorehead work to bring the season to a close. Per reports, the goal of the studio is to go back to the “action and gritty violence” that won its fans over like in the original series, as well as Punisher. The studio will also “keep some scenes and episodes that have already been shot, though other serialized elements will be injected” according to the report.
