Bob Chapek recently became the ex-CEO of Disney as he officially steps down from the post. The new replacement of Chapek is an old member of the Disney family and took to the position immediately. Bob Iger has once again stepped into the role of CEO of Disney who had previously retired from the job in 2020.
As per reports, the Disneytization of Marvel projects is something that people have feared for quite a while. And the new CEO of Disney is reportedly unhappy with a mature Daredevil: Born Again.
Daredevil To Be More Family-Friendly As Per Bob Iger?
According to American reporter Grace Randolph, Bob Iger is keen to make the upcoming Charlie Cox starrer Daredevil: Born Again series a bit less mature-rated and more PG-13, to say the least. Fans of Marvel had been worrying for quite some time that their favorite characters might be dialed down to hold back on the violence and the gore and it seems the time has come.

The American reporter took to Twitter to post about the updates of Bob Iger replacing Bob Chapek and how it would affect the making of Daredevil: Born Again.
Here’s something 😂😭
Bob Chapek was cool with a mature rated #DaredevilBornAgain
Bob Iger, not so much
They’re still deciding – we’ll see what happens!
I do hear it’s going to be chock full of awesome #Daredevil characters and that Matt Murdock and Kingpin are co-leads pic.twitter.com/8RGZcbpged

The people (as expected) didn’t take much kindly to the news as they started tweeting out their anger and hatred for Bob Iger if the report happens to be true. With counter-arguments and pieces of evidence of Matt Murdock’s grittiness in Daredevil, the people tried to turn the tables around.
I'll be very disappointed if it's not mature.

Not to be that guy but we don’t want it if it’s not going to be mature, Yes his version in SheHulk was great but we want the serious gritty Matt also!

Bob Iger will be the most hated man if he decides to change it

Come on man I really hope they decide to make it mature if there’s one good thing bob chapek did it was letting mature content now Disney plus such as all the Netflix marvel shows and Deadpool’s one and two and Logan please do the right thing mr iger

did Bob Iger watch the Netflix daredevil show? That's why it should be mature mr Iger

The fact that most of the people that enjoy these shows (and the comics) are now in their 30's and 40's yet we are still arguing about having more 'mature' shows is just insane to me lmao

Although there have been no confirmations yet, the idea of toning down the violence could seem to be a hurtful one if carried out. If Daredevil: Born Again is forcibly made into a PG-13 series, there could also be a chance to have a family-friendly Deadpool one day (sounds like a Wade Wilson plot). Bob Iger had only left Disney last year (2021) before he came back once again to claim the position of Chief Executive Officer at Disney.
Bob Iger Is Reportedly Back For His Legacy
Bob Chapek had been the CEO of Disney for 2 years (2020-2022) before his stepping down from the role. As per reports, Bob Iger was brought back from retirement so that he may find an heir to bestow the vast kingdom of Disney.
As per several insiders, Bob Iger has been allegedly working very closely with the board of directors who are responsible for anointing a CEO for the company. Bob Iger is 71 years of age and will work until a successor who can handle the Disney business is found or made to bethe new CEO of the company.
Daredevil: Born Again is expected to release in the Spring of 2024.
