Daredevil: Born Again 🏅is getting a complete overhaul, according to a major new report. The Marvel series has reportedly let go of its writers and directors as it looks to reangle the show.

Per , a production break in mid-June for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:WGA strike saw Marvel executives, including Kevin Feige, review footage and decide "the show wasn't working". At the time, fewer than half of the show's 18-episode run had been shot, and was angled𒀰 as a legal procedural. 

Problems arose from the fact it had a wildly different tone to the o🦋riginal Netflix show, which was known for its grit and violence, and only saw Charlie Cox's crimefighter show up in costume in episode 4.

As a result, Marvel reportedl𝓰y let go of head writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman and the directors of the remaining season to focus on a "creative reboot" of the show. Now, the studio is working on getting new writers and directors on the project. 

Daredevil: Born Again was supposed to act as a reboot to Matt Murdock's story after his run on the Netflix series Daredevil. The blind superhero was brought across to the MCU in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: No Way Home, before having a more substantial role in She-Hulk.

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus show was supposed to act as a major reintroduction to the character, and even planned to star some of the original Netflix cast too, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:including Vincent D'Onofrio and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jon ꦓBernthal as Kingpin and Punisher. Filming kicked off in 🐼March 2023, before it was halted by the strikes. 

It's future is now slightly unclear, but it was planned for two seasons and to act as part of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Phase 5. We'll have to wait🅠♌ and see if anything is altered after the show's creative overhaul.
