As a die-hard Marvel fan, I’m eagerly awaiting the continuation of the thrilling MCU narrative unfolding in the upcoming second season of “Daredevil: Born Again,” set to drop on Disney+ in early 2026. The first season concluded dramatically on April 15, leaving us hanging with Matt Murdock rallying his own troops and Mayor Wilson Fisk implementing his “Safer Streets” initiative. Filming for the second season actually started in February, even before the first season graced our screens on Disney+, so it won’t be long before we unravel some significant mysteries.
It’s not officially announced when, but it’s anticipated that Daredevil: Born Again season 2 will debut in March 2026. Marvel creators have hinted at plans for additional seasons to follow each year after that, suggesting a quick return for season 2 to delve into the mysteries left unanswered in the first season. The second season of Daredevil: Born Again is poised to build upon and further develop the major plotlines initiated in the original series, offering fans an even more immersive experience with a consistent creative team on board.
8. Mayor Wilson Fisk Put New York City Under Martial Law
Wilson Fisk Became The Mayor Of New York In Daredevil: Born Again Season 1
The major development leading into Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, following the first season’s finale, is that Wilson Fisk has seized power as New York City’s Mayor and imposed martial law. By orchestrating the brutal murder of Commissioner Gallo, manipulating Bullseye’s attack, and exploiting the Black and White Ball incident, Fisk has gained full control over New York City.
Now under martial law, the city is governed by Kingpin and his own Anti-Vigilante Task Force, a police force specifically designed to counter vigilantes like Daredevil. This power structure will play a significant role in the story of Born Again Season 2.
In the first season of “Daredevil: Born Again,” Wilson Fisk manipulated his mayoral position to subtly redevelop the questionable Red Hook district, unbeknownst to many. This area was actually a free port, implying that Fisk’s renovation had an ulterior motive: it would allow him and Vanessa to establish their own autonomous city-state, enabling them to carry out illicit activities legally. With New York now under martial law, the entire city has essentially become Wilson Fisk’s personal city-state, a chilling development that future seasons of “Born Again” and other Marvel Cinematic Universe projects set in New York City may delve into.
7. The Punisher Escaped From Wilson Fisk’s Prison
Jon Bernthal Will Return In The Punisher’s Own Special Presentation
It was great to see Jon Bernthal reprise his role as Frank Castle, also known as the Punisher, in the first season of Daredevil: Born Again. His character had been quietly enforcing justice within the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Daredevil Season 2 and his standalone series, The Punisher. This new season brought him back into contact with Matt Murdock’s Daredevil. In the future of the MCU, it appears that the Punisher will play a more significant role, as the Anti-Vigilante Task Force has adopted his skull symbol.
| The Punisher’s MCU Project | Year |
|---|---|
| Daredevil Season 2 | 2016 |
| The Punisher Season 1 | 2017 |
| The Punisher Season 2 | 2019 |
| Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 | 2025 |
| The Punisher Special Presentation | 2026 |
In the climax of Daredevil: Born Again season 1, the Punisher invaded Wilson Fisk’s Red Hook compound and eliminated several Anti-Vigilante Task Force agents. Despite being captured and brutally beaten afterwards, the show’s post-credits scene showed Frank Castle plotting his escape by fracturing AVTF officer Anthony Petruccio’s arm. This not only hints at a potential Jon Bernthal comeback in Daredevil: Born Again season 2, but also confirms his continuation of the battle against Kingpin, which is slated for release as The Punisher’s Special Presentation next year.
6. Bullseye Is Still On The Loose
Wilson Bethel Has Already Filmed Scenes For Daredevil: Born Again Season 2
In the upcoming second season of “Daredevil: Born Again,” it’s evident that Wilson Fisk and the Anti-Vigilante Task Force will serve as the primary adversaries. However, they won’t be the sole sources of danger. On the contrary, actor Wilson Bethel is set to reappear in “Born Again” season 2, resuming his role as the psychopathic sniper and ex-FBI agent, Benjamin Poindexter, better known as Bullseye. In the previous season of “Daredevil,” Bullseye was ordered by Vanessa Fisk to assassinate Foggy Nelson, and later targeted Wilson Fisk himself, possibly seeking revenge following the events of “Daredevil” season 3. This storyline is anticipated to carry over into “Born Again” season 2.
From the filming of “Daredevil: Born Again” season 2, it has been disclosed that Wilson Bethel has shot scenes as Bullseye, and he will be sporting a costume more aligned with his comic book character for the second season. It remains unclear whether Bullseye will persist as an adversary to Matt Murdock’s Daredevil or if he’ll join forces against Kingpin, a decision Marvel Studios has yet to make. Given that there will likely be retribution for the killing of Foggy Nelson and the shooting of Matt Murdock, Bullseye’s comeback is highly anticipated.
5. Matt Murdock & Karen Page Have Been Reunited
Deborah Ann Woll May Have A Larger Role In Daredevil: Born Again Season 2
Initially, the new Daredevil: Born Again series was planned as a standalone project, with key actors like Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson not expected to reprise their roles from the original Netflix Daredevil series. However, a significant creative overhaul in late 2023 resulted in an exciting change. Now, the series is directly linked to the original Daredevil, confirming the Defenders Saga’s continuity and welcoming back Henson’s Foggy Nelson and Woll’s Karen Page. Despite Foggy meeting his end in Born Again’s debut episode, Karen survived, and her character is set for a more significant role in the series’ second season.
During most of the mid-episodes of “Daredevil: Born Again,” Karen Page was absent, but she reappeared in the finale, aiding Matt Murdock and Frank Castle. In this critical moment, Karen Page offered crucial guidance to Murdock, encouraging him to exercise caution and restraint when targeting Kingpin and the Anti-Vigilante Task Force, urging him to seek allies and assemble a team. Deborah Ann Woll will reprise her role as Karen Page in “Daredevil: Born Again” season 2, and it’s expected that her relationship with Matt Murdock will significantly influence the storyline’s progression.
4. Heather Glenn Is Becoming A Bona Fide Villain
Margarita Levieva’s Heather Glenn Is No Longer Matt Murdock’s Partner
In the latest series “Daredevil: Born Again,” actress Margarita Levieva portrays Dr. Heather Glenn, a significant therapist and author based in New York City. Notably, her clients encompass notable figures like Wilson and Vanessa Fisk, as well as Bastian Cooper, who was later unveiled as the serial killer known as Muse. Additionally, she has penned books exploring the psychological aspects of masked vigilantes, and the season 1 finale even features her being recruited to Mayor Wilson Fisk’s office.
In the Netflix series “Daredevil: Born Again,” showrunner Dario Scardapane has revealed that Matt Murdock and Heather Glenn are no longer romantically involved following the events of season 1. This separation might have played a role in Glenn’s decision to accept Wilson Fisk’s proposal for her to become his Commissioner of Mental Health. It appears as though Glenn, now working directly under Fisk, may be headed towards becoming a genuine antagonist in season 2 of “Born Again.” Some speculate that Glenn might even take on the role of the new Muse, potentially falling under Fisk’s control and manipulation; however, only the future will reveal the truth.
3. Angela Del Toro Has Already Tried Her Own Vigilante Justice
Angela Del Toro Could Become The White Tiger In Daredevil: Born Again Season 2
In a limited screen time, Camila Rodriguez made an indelible impact on the cast of Daredevil: Born Again season 1. The talented young actor portrayed Angela del Toro, the niece of Hector Ayala, who transforms into the vigilante White Tiger with the aid of a mystical amulet. Tragically, Hector Ayala was killed by Cole North in Born Again season 1, paving the way for Angela del Toro to potentially assume the role of White Tiger in season 2, mirroring her comic book counterpart’s journey.
It would be thrilling if Angela del Toro, played by Camila Rodriguez, were to don the White Tiger suit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Given her family history and her ambition shown in her attempt to ambush Muse in his subway tunnel lair, there’s speculation that she could grow into a powerful member of the Young Avengers. The upcoming “Daredevil: Born Again” season 2 could potentially bring this to life.
2. Kingpin’s Outlawing Of Vigilantes Will Affect Many Heroes
Many Of The MCU’s Heroes Are Based In New York City
In the final episodes of season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again, Mayor Wilson Fisk seized the opportunity presented by a series of dramatic events to impose martial law on New York City and, more significantly, to fulfill his election pledge. Specifically, he outlawed vigilantism in New York, echoing his actions from the Marvel Comics’ Devil’s Reign event in 2021. This development has set the stage for the unfolding narrative of Daredevil: Born Again, as it will affect not only Daredevil but also many other heroes within the MCU, given the establishment of an Anti-Vigilante Task Force to enforce these new laws.
In Marvel Comics’ “Devil’s Reign” storyline, characters such as Captain America, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, and X-Men were featured. When it comes to “Daredevil: Born Again” season 2, while it’s uncertain if these well-known heroes will appear, there’s been a lot of discussion surrounding potential guest appearances by popular Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) characters based in New York City. Characters like Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Danny Rand and Colleen Wing from the Defenders Saga, as well as Misty Knight, are now part of the MCU and could possibly feature in “Born Again” season 2, making it one of Disney+’s most significant series to date, with Spider-Man also being a potential addition.
1. Daredevil Wants To Build An Army
Daredevil’s Army Could Bring Back Some Iconic Street-Level Heroes
In the realm of Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s not unthinkable that some intriguing characters might assemble for a potential second season of ‘Daredevil: Born Again’. Inspired by Karen Page’s wise counsel, Matt Murdock is prudently gathering his forces to confront Wilson Fisk and the Anti-Vigilante Task Force. This team could be a mix of trusted allies and potentially super-powered individuals, all finding themselves entangled in Fisk’s new legislature. Such a reunion could bring back some formidable figures from the MCU pantheon, while forging fresh, captivating relationships.
It’d be great to witness Daredevil reunite with The Defenders during the second season of “Born Again”. If characters like Spider-Man, Echo, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, and additional New York heroes join the team, it could significantly boost their power. Currently, Daredevil appears to have a small group of friendly NYPD officers along with Cherry, Josie, and Angie Kim as his allies. Given that all New York-based vigilantes are under threat from Kingpin, “Daredevil: Born Again” season 2 could expand this team, making Daredevil even more integral to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s street-level narratives.
