Marvel’s Daredevil remains one of the most iconic and popular television shows based on Marvel Comics, thanks to the critically acclaimed three-season run on Netflix. Created by Drew Goddard, the series first premiered in April 2015, with mostly positive reviews and immense fanfare due to its dark and gritty nature.
Daredevil recently completed nine years since it first debuted and Marvel fans took to social media to celebrate the show’s anniversary. At the same time, fans also shared their expectations from the upcoming MCU reboot of the series and threatened Marvel to leave one key aspect of it unchanged. Here is the one thing from the original Daredevil series that fans want to see remain untouched in the MCU.
Daredevil Fans Celebrate the Ninth Anniversary of the Marvel Series
Marvel’s Daredevil, starring Charlie Cox in the titular role first premiered on April 10, 2015. The series spanned three seasons and serves as the foundation of Netflix’s Defendersverse. It received an overwhelmingly positive response from fans, who continue to view Daredevil as the gold standard for Marvel shows.
In April 2024, the series celebrated its ninth anniversary and fans took to social media to celebrate the occasion. Marvel fans shared heart-touching posts and expressed an outpour of love and admiration for Daredevil online. Some fans even hailed it as one of the best Marvel television series ever made.

In November 2018, Daredevil was canceled by Netflix, and the characters were later incorporated into the MCU. Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio have already reprised their roles as Matt Murdock / Daredevil and Wilson Fisk / Kingpin in other MCU properties. The duo is also set to headline the upcoming reboot series Daredevil: Born Again, with most of the original cast members expected to return.
Fans Demand Marvel Leave the Daredevil Title Sequence Unchanged For the MCU Reboot
As fans celebrated the ninth anniversary of the original Daredevil series, they also looked forward to watching their beloved characters return in a new form for the MCU reboot. Some fans shared their expectations for Daredevil: Born Again online and here is what they had to say on X.
Marvel I hope you’ve learned your lesson so just keep going with what you’ve learned, and don’t try to replace this intro with a new one😂Keep it as it is, obviously if they can

I think it’s safe to say that this is one of the best opening sequences in all of tv. This show does nothing but age like fine wine. Damn near perfection in my humble opinion.

As the tweets suggest, fans want the title sequence and the original theme from Daredevil to be used again in the MCU reboot. The title sequence features the titular character’s motifs being slowly uncovered through red paint, with composer John Paesano’s iconic main theme for the series playing over it.
The title sequence continues to induce goosebumps even today and remains unskippable during rewatches of the series. Therefore, it is understandable that fans do not want Marvel to replace the title sequence or mess with it by trying to alter it in any shape or form.
The title sequence was retained when Daredevil moved from Netflix to Disney, making it possible that it could be reused in Daredevil: Born Again. The reboot series was recently confirmed to have wrapped up filming on its first season, following a major creative overhaul. Daredevil: Born Again is expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2025, while the original series is also streaming on the platform.
