Daredevil: Born Again stands out as one of the highly awaited Marvel endeavors. In contrast to its Netflix predecessor, this new iteration has been described as a “soft reboot.” The project was officially unveiled in July 2022, but the writer’s strike caused an unexpected halt in its production.

In a report from The Hollywood Reporter, it was revealed that Kevin Feige, the President of Marvel Studios, dismissed the two writers working on Daredevil: Born Again. Additionally, while Charlie Cox is confirmed to return as Daredevil, the absence of Karen Page, portrayed by Deborah Ann Woll, has left fans quite dismayed.
