Charlie Cox reveals that Daredevil’s restart would originally use the concept of variants like Loki Series

Daredevil Star Charlie Cox He has returned to play his character Netflix/Marvel in the Restavii MCU series Daredevil: born againAnd as the fans who followed the development of the series know, it was a rocky road that came to production.

We finished with a great season, but when the first writers hired of the show were in box, we were not sure if the study would have been able to put together a solid story that paid tribute to the original content and moved the characters in the consolidated Marvel universe.

In a recent interview with Deadline’s Crew Call Podcast, Cox e Born again showrunner Dario Scardapene He sat down to discuss the Disney+series. When asked about the show of the show, COX explained the original plan to have Foggy Nelson killed out of the screen.

While deepening the topic, the actor revealed Born again Originally it had to exploit the concept of variants introduced in Loki TV series (at brand 9:40):

“One of the things that the original team wanted to do was, they wanted to keep Vincent [D’onofrio] And I. wanted to keep us. They didn’t want to alienate an audience that had not seen the show.

So, they wanted it to be a little restore. So there was a kind of conversation that it was almost a variant, you know, on the “Loki” show, we are talking about these variants. It was almost like a variant; And we never said it, but it was almost a variant. So, it was another version of these characters existing in a world “.

COX then explained why the concept did not work, explaining:

“This is a valid choice, it is a fun idea. The problem became that, we discovered that, every time I said something that was in contrast with what we had shot in the past, people thought I was lying. They didn’t think it was a variant; they thought I was deceived. It was a good idea, it didn’t get out.”

You have to be careful when writing a story that includes multival timing and variants. It is so easily twisted and complicated for the spectators to keep straight. I think adopting a simpler approach was the right decision.

All episodes of Daredevil: born again Season 1 is available for streaming now on Disney+.
