Summary:
- Daredevil: Born Again set photos confirm the introduction of characters like the White Tiger, though we don’t know whether it’ll be Ava or Hector.
- The classic legal team will be back together with Foggy and Nelson making an epic comeback.
- Kingpin’s mayoral campaign will be a huge part of the series, and the public will be divided in their opinion about Wilson Fisk.
Marvel’s ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is currently in development and follows the iconic Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and the nefarious Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’onofrio) as they resume their cat-and-mouse game.
Now, various set photos have been released that tease or confirm many of our suspicions and rumors about the upcoming show. To that end, many teases and reveals have caused quite a stir in the Marvel fandom.
Here’s everything that’s been revealed in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ set photos so far:
1. New Marvel Character (White Tiger) is Teased
The first significant character introduction teased in the set photos is White Tiger.
The White Tiger is a classic Marvel vigilante who gets its power from a tiger amulet passed on from generation to generation.
The most commonly associated character to this vigilante is Ava Ayala, who gets the amulet from her brother Hector. Since the set photos don’t reveal the face of the White Tiger, it isn’t entirely clear whether the makers will use Ava or Hector in the series.
2. Kingpin’s Election Campaign Takes Flight
After ‘Echo’ post-credit scenes, we expected Kingpin to run for the position of New York’s mayor, and the set photos have confirmed Kingpin’s election campaign.
The campaign will be in full swing in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’, and Kingpin will try to use his position of power to lure the people of New York against vigilantism.
3. Matt Murdock’s New Legal Offices
‘Daredevil: Born Again’ set photos feature new offices for Matt Murdock, Foggy, and Karen.
Daredevil season 3 finale sees Matt reconciling with Karen and Foggy, and they will have brand new offices in ‘Daredevil: Born Again.’
4. A Divided New York Over Kingpin
‘Daredevil: Born Again’ set photos feature a mural showing Kingpin as an angel on one side and the devil himself on the other.
This shows that the people of New York are divided over their opinion of Kingpin. Thus, we can expect great drama and Fisk going to great lengths to win the public favor so that he can become the mayor.
5. A Potential Return for Brett Mahoney
A character called Brett has been spotted in the set photos of ‘Daredevil: Born Again’.
Fans speculate he is the famous Detective Brett Mahoney, the cop who helped Murdock and Daredevil take down Kingpin in the previous Netflix shows. He’s appeared in Daredevil, Defenders, and The Punisher and was one of the rare, uncorrupted officers in Fisk’s reign of terror.
6. Daredevil’s New Costume
In the set photos of ‘Daredevil: Born Again,’ Matt Murdock is seen wearing a revamped version of his classic red and black suit compared to his most recent appearance in ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.’
In ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,’ Matt wears a red-and-yellow suit with a horned helmet, a tribute to his classic comic version. However, he seems to be sporting a bright red suit with black accents in the set photos of ‘Daredevil: Born Again.’
7. Josie’s Bar Comes Back
‘Daredevil’ often takes us to Josie’s Bar, a cozy spot in Hell’s Kitchen where Matt Murdock and his friends Foggy Nelson and Karen Page hang out.
New set photos and videos reveal that the bar is back in action. However, this time, it seems that Foggy and Karen will witness a brutal showdown between Daredevil and Bullseye right outside the bar.
8. Bullseye’s New Suit
Besides Daredevil, new set photos also suggest that Bullseye actor Wilson Bethel is getting a brand-new costume too.
In a new set video, he’s seen sporting a black balaclava and tactical gear and throwing grenades and bullets before Daredevil tackles him.
9. Matt Murdock’s New Love Interest
New set photos of ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ suggest that Matt Murdock will get a new love interest after his romance with Karen Page fizzled out by the end of Daredevil season 3.
The photos show him kissing Margarita Levieva, whose role is currently unknown. One assumption is that she is Kirsten McDuffle, an assistant district attorney who falls in love with matt Murdock.
10. New Daredevil Villain Teased: Muse
Set photos of ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ tease a brand new villain, Muse. Muse is a twisted serial killer who uses the blood of his prey to create his art.
He is a formidable opponent for Daredevil, with enhanced abilities to detect adversaries around him. Some set photos show a blood-stained mural in New York with Muse’s signature on it.
This could be a hint of what’s to come or just a fun reference. Either way, seeing Muse as the main villain in Daredevil: Born Again would be amazing.
11. The Return of Kingpin, Foggy and Karen Page
Set Photos have confirmed that characters like Elden Henson’s Foggy Nelsen, Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page, and Vincent D’onofrio’s Kingpin will make comebacks in ‘Daredevil: Born Again.’
In the photos, Foggy and Karen are seen walking down the road with Matt Murdock, and this is exciting news for fans as the iconic legal trio will again be back to entertain us.
Elsewhere, Kingpin will wreak havoc on the lives of Matt Murdock and his compatriots by running for New York’s elections and making sure that the people are swayed against vigilantes like Daredevil.
