I’ve previously said that I have never seen a show attempting to spoil itself ahead of time as much as Daredevil: Born Again, whether that be through its own trailers or cast interviews, at least one of which telegraphed a big death outright at the start of the series.
Now, of course, there are more spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again season 2, now that it’s filming in New York, this time through set shots that Disney does not seem to be trying to prevent. It’s somewhat unavoidable when shooting in a big city, I suppose.
These are plastered all over my timeline given that I enjoy the current season of Born Again, so the algorithm wants to just show me all these season 2 images I could have done without. Plus, there are other supposed leaks we know about.
So, if you want the spoilers, read on, as I might as well talk about them since I couldn’t avoid them in the first place.
The main thing shown here is Matt’s new suit, which is not only pitch black, unlike his others and pulling from one of his comic suit variants, but perhaps most importantly, he finally has the interlocked “DD” logo, which he will have gone four seasons without, even if maybe he gets it in the Born Again season 1 finale. The suit does look very cool, and these set shots are so clear they may as well be production stills.
There are other spoilers we know about already, some cast-driven, some insider-driven. I love Deborah Ann Woll but wow, she sure loves talking about things she shouldn’t be talking about. First, she said that she would be in season 2, both revealing she wouldn’t be killed off in season 1, but also would be a big part of that story. Second, she said her and Foggy would be back. This has lent some weight to the idea that Foggy may have faked his death like in a comic run, or he may just show up in some flashbacks, which does seem more likely at this point.
Daredevil’s own showrunner, Dario Scardapane, said that despite being a main season 1 villain, Muse will return for season 2. Given that we just had our first real Muse feature this week, and there are only a couple episodes left this season, it stands to reason that yes, his story may not be wrapped up that quickly. Still, why say that now?
This isn’t confirmed but it seems exceedingly likely that after season 1, Jon Bernthal’s Punisher won’t be back. He has a “feature” mini-movie planned on Disney Plus later, but Bernthal is exceptionally busy with a number of projects, most pressingly Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which of course would no doubt take precedent over anything else.
That’s what we think we know for now, and sure, I will look forward to seeing that suit in action, even if we have a pretty clear shot of it now.
