At the heart of Devil’s Reign lies the formidable David Tennant’s Purple Man, a character whose powers rival some of the most potent in the Marvel Universe.

Daredevil: Born Again is One of the Most Anticipated Upcoming Marvel Projects
One of the most anticipated upcoming Marvel projects is Daredevil: Born Again. Compared to the Netflix production Daredevil, the show has recently been called a “soft reboot.” The show was announced all the way back in July 2022. However, it faced a production pause due to the writer’s strike.
The series went through a creative overhaul, which means that Chris Ord and Matt Corman, the head writers, have been removed from the writing duties and will serve as executive producers instead. Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, who directed some episodes of Loki season two, have been hired to shoot the remaining episodes of Daredevil: Born Again.
Daredevil: Born Again is set to be released on Disney+ by Spring 2024.
