Marvel’s DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN hires DEXTER director Michael Cuesta

Marvel Studios took over Right AND Homeland director Michael Cuesta to direct the first episode of Daredevil: Born Again. Production on the 18-episode series will begin later this month in New York City.

Charlie Cox is set to reprise his role of Matt Murdoch, aka Daredevil, in the series, and will be joined by Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin, e Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, aka The Punisher. Other actors who have been cast in the series include Michael Gandolfini, Margarita LevievaAND Sandrine Holtwho will play Vanessa Fisk, Fisk’s wife. Michael Gaston (Chicago Police, Mayor of Kingstown) is also in the show.

The series was written and executive produced by Matthew Corman AND Chris Ord, and is expected to be released in spring 2024. Cuesta directs only the opening episode and other directors are lined up to direct the other blocks of episodes.

There are no details on what the story of the series will tell, but fans are extremely curious. During a previous interview, Charlie Cox offered some insight into what we can expect from his character saying, “I don’t think it’s a different character. I just think it’s maybe a different time in his life. I don’t think my portrayal will change — they cast the same actor. Are we saying this is a new… era, or variant? I haven’t read the scripts, so I don’t know. But like, is it part of the multiverse?”

Cox also previously shared that the series will be “a whole new thing” saying, “I think the gist of it is that it’s a new beginning, it’s going to be different, it’s going to be totally different. They will be new stories and new ideas. It’s a season 1, it’s not a season 4, so it’s a whole new thing. Which I think is the way to go. If you’re going to do it again, do it differently.

What story do you hope to see told by this series?
