Sign in to your ScreenRant account Daredevil: Born Again is no more, but fans will still be able to watch Charlie Cox in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and related Marvel Studios projects, with a Spider-Man crossover next on the slate. Cox first gave life to Matt Murdock in Netflix's The Defenders Saga, playing the character for three seasons of Daredevil and The Defenders crossover limited series. However, despite the fact that Netflix's Daredevil season 3 is probably the best season of any live-action Marvel TV show ever, and maybe even among all superhero series, the show was canceled all the same. Back then, the cancellation hurt, as Daredevil was at its best, but it made sense, as Netflix canceled all the shows in The Defenders Saga. Fast-forward to the start of Disney+'s MCU TV shows, with Cox making appearances in both She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Echo. Daredevil: Born Again then came to mark his return in a solo series, and for two seasons, it managed to tell an impactful and emotional Marvel story, bringing back fan-favorite characters and introducing new ones. However, that has ended. Hell’s Kitchen · Street-Level Edition How Well Do YouKnow Daredevil? ♻OriginsBlinded ☠VillainsKingpin ⚖AlliesJustice ⚔CombatNo killing 🎥TV SeriesNetflix ENTER HELL’S KITCHEN → 01 Matt Murdock was blinded as a child by radioactive material that fell from a truck. While he lost his sight, the accident gave him something extraordinary in return. What did the radioactive exposure give Matt? ASuper strength BTelepathy CSuperhuman radar-like senses DX-ray vision ✓ Correct! The radioactive chemicals that blinded young Matt Murdock simultaneously supercharged his remaining senses to extraordinary levels and gave him a radar-like spatial awareness. He can “see” the world around him through sound, smell, touch, and taste with superhuman precision — making him one of Marvel’s most unique heroes. ✗ Even Daredevil’s radar sense couldn’t find the right answer there! The answer is superhuman radar-like senses. The radioactive accident didn’t give Matt strength, telepathy, or X-ray vision — it heightened all his remaining senses to superhuman levels and granted him a radar sense that lets him perceive the world around him in 360 degrees. NEXT → 02 Daredevil’s greatest enemy is a massive, calculating crime lord who controls most of the criminal underworld in New York City. This villain is known by his real name and his title. Who is he? ABullseye BWilson Fisk / The Kingpin CThe Hand DThe Owl ✓ Correct! Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, is Daredevil’s most iconic adversary. Despite having no superpowers, Fisk’s immense physical strength, ruthless intelligence, and iron grip on New York’s criminal underworld make him one of Marvel’s most terrifying villains. Their battle is deeply personal — both men believe they’re saving Hell’s Kitchen. ✗ Even Daredevil’s radar sense couldn’t find the right answer there! The answer is Wilson Fisk / The Kingpin. Bullseye is a deadly assassin, The Hand is a ninja organization, and The Owl is a lesser crime lord. But the Kingpin is the definitive Daredevil villain — the immovable force that controls New York’s underworld from the shadows. NEXT → 03 By day, Matt Murdock fights for justice in a courtroom as a lawyer. He co-founded a law firm with his best friend in Hell’s Kitchen. Who is Matt’s law partner and best friend? ABen Urich BDanny Rand CFranklin ‘Foggy’ Nelson DLuke Cage ✓ Correct! Franklin “Foggy” Nelson has been Matt Murdock’s best friend and law partner since they met at Columbia Law School. Together they founded Nelson & Murdock, a small firm dedicated to defending the people of Hell’s Kitchen. Foggy is the heart and conscience of the partnership — often the one pulling Matt back from the edge. ✗ Even Daredevil’s radar sense couldn’t find the right answer there! The answer is Franklin “Foggy” Nelson. Ben Urich is a journalist at the Daily Bugle, Danny Rand is Iron Fist, and Luke Cage is a Harlem-based hero. Foggy Nelson is Matt’s irreplaceable best friend, law partner, and moral anchor. NEXT → 04 The Netflix Daredevil series (2015–2018) was praised for its dark tone and incredible fight choreography. Which actor portrayed Matt Murdock/Daredevil in the Netflix series and later in the MCU’s Daredevil: Born Again? ABen Affleck BCharlie Cox COscar Isaac DJon Bernthal ✓ Correct! Charlie Cox brought Matt Murdock to life with a nuanced, critically acclaimed performance across three seasons of Netflix’s Daredevil. His portrayal was so beloved that Marvel Studios brought him back for the MCU, appearing in Spider-Man: No Way Home and starring in Daredevil: Born Again. ✗ Even Daredevil’s radar sense couldn’t find the right answer there! The answer is Charlie Cox. Ben Affleck played Daredevil in the 2003 film, Oscar Isaac is Moon Knight, and Jon Bernthal plays the Punisher (who appeared in Daredevil Season 2). Charlie Cox is the definitive live-action Man Without Fear. NEXT → 05 Bullseye is one of Daredevil’s deadliest foes, a psychopathic assassin with an extraordinary ability. What is Bullseye’s signature power? ASuper speed BInvisibility CPerfect accuracy — he never misses a target DMind control ✓ Correct! Bullseye possesses an innate ability to turn virtually any object into a lethal projectile with perfect accuracy. From playing cards to paper clips, anything in his hands becomes a deadly weapon. He’s responsible for some of the darkest moments in Daredevil’s history, including the murder of Elektra. ✗ Even Daredevil’s radar sense couldn’t find the right answer there! The answer is perfect accuracy — he never misses a target. Bullseye doesn’t have super speed, invisibility, or mind control. His terrifying gift is unerring aim — he can kill with a toothpick, a playing card, or anything he can throw. NEXT → 06 Elektra Natchios is a complex character in Daredevil’s life — sometimes lover, sometimes enemy. She is a deadly assassin trained by a mysterious ninja organization. What is the name of this organization? AThe League of Shadows BThe Hand CHYDRA DThe Foot Clan ✓ Correct! The Hand is a secretive ninja organization that plays a major role in Daredevil’s mythology. Founded centuries ago, they deal in assassination, mysticism, and resurrection. Elektra was trained by The Hand and has been both their weapon and their enemy — her complicated ties to the organization mirror her complicated relationship with Matt. ✗ Even Daredevil’s radar sense couldn’t find the right answer there! The answer is The Hand. The League of Shadows is from DC’s Batman universe, HYDRA is the broader Marvel villain organization, and The Foot Clan is from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (actually inspired by The Hand). The Hand is the ancient ninja order central to Daredevil’s world. NEXT → 07 Frank Castle, the Punisher, has a complicated relationship with Daredevil. They share a mission to fight crime but disagree fundamentally on methods. What is the core philosophical difference between Daredevil and the Punisher? ADaredevil uses weapons, Punisher doesn’t BDaredevil refuses to kill, Punisher kills criminals CPunisher works with police, Daredevil doesn’t DDaredevil only fights at night ✓ Correct! This is the defining tension between Daredevil and the Punisher. Matt Murdock, a devout Catholic and lawyer, believes in the justice system and refuses to cross the line into killing. Frank Castle believes the system is broken and that lethal force is the only way to permanently stop criminals. Their rooftop debate in Season 2 of the Netflix series is one of the greatest scenes in superhero television. ✗ Even Daredevil’s radar sense couldn’t find the right answer there! The answer is that Daredevil refuses to kill while the Punisher kills criminals. It’s actually the Punisher who uses weapons (guns, explosives), and neither works with police. Daredevil fights at all hours. The real divide is moral: Matt believes in redemption and the law, while Frank believes in permanent, lethal justice. NEXT → 08 In the Daredevil Netflix series, Vincent D’Onofrio’s portrayal of Wilson Fisk was widely acclaimed. In Season 3, Fisk manipulated a specific FBI agent to become the new Bullseye. What is this character’s name? ARay Nadeem BBenjamin Poindexter (Dex) CBrett Mahoney DMitchell Ellison ✓ Correct! Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter, played brilliantly by Wilson Bethel, was an FBI agent with a troubled past and an innate ability for perfect marksmanship. Fisk recognized his psychological vulnerabilities and manipulated him into donning a Daredevil suit to frame Matt Murdock, setting up Dex’s transformation into the classic villain Bullseye. ✗ Even Daredevil’s radar sense couldn’t find the right answer there! The answer is Benjamin Poindexter (Dex). Ray Nadeem was another FBI agent manipulated by Fisk but in a different way, Brett Mahoney is an NYPD sergeant allied with Daredevil, and Mitchell Ellison is the editor of the New York Bulletin. Dex is the one Fisk groomed to become Bullseye. REVEAL MY SCORE → Case Closed Your Hell’s Kitchen Verdict / 8 Are you the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen — or just a blind spot? ↻ TAKE THE STAND AGAIN According to The Hollywood Reporter, Daredevil: Born Again has been canceled by Marvel. The upcoming Daredevil: Born Again season 3 will serve as the final season of the series, debuting on Disney+ in March 2027, bringing together all of Netflix's Defenders and Élodie Yung's Elektra. While the cancellation comes as a shock, it could be the sign of a medium change for Daredevil, and Cox is officially joining Spider-Man next. Charlie Cox's Daredevil Will Next Be Seen Alongside Spider-Man On Disney+ While Daredevil: Born Again season 3 is expected to arrive next March, Cox's Daredevil could return as soon as January 2027. The reason for that is the fan-favorite actor is set to reprise his role as the voice of Matt Murdock in the upcoming Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2, which is set to arrive at the start of the next year, though a specific release date beyond January has yet to be confirmed. The animated Spider-Man series is not canon to the MCU, though it takes an MCU-adjacent route, presenting a Peter Parker who feels very similar to Tom Holland's. Fans of the Spider-Man series have already been treated to how epic Daredevil can be in it, as Cox voiced the character in season 1, where Daredevil went up against Spider-Man in an energetic rooftop fight sequence. The first teaser for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2 was showcased at 2026's D23, where ScreenRant was in attendance, and it revealed that Cox's Daredevil will have a comics-accurate red suit that leaves behind the bulkier look of the live-action Daredevil costumes for the sleeker, spandex design of the comics. After their season 1 fight, it will be interesting to see how Spider-Man and Daredevil interact. Daredevil: Born Again's Cancellation Could Lead to The Live-Action Spider-Man Crossover Fans Have Been Asking For While Cox's Daredevil will come into contact with Spider-Man in around four months, Daredevil: Born Again being canceled might be what leads to the live-action crossover fans have long been asking for. While the actor did play Matt Murdock opposite Holland's Peter Parker at the start of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the characters only interacted as their civilian personas, with Matt serving as Peter's lawyer. Fans yearn to see Cox's Daredevil and Holland's Spider-Man suit up and work together on the big screen, and by having Jon Bernthal's Punisher do just that to huge success in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Marvel left the door wide open. With Daredevil: Born Again season 3 ending the Disney+ series in 2027, Cox's Daredevil could now transition to the movie side of the MCU, be it a solo Daredevil franchise or showing up in projects like Holland's guaranteed Spider-Man 5. Either of those avenues could be used for a live-action Daredevil and Spider-Man crossover. Additionally, Spider-Man: Brand New Day co-writer Chris McKenna revealed to The Bulwark that Cox's Daredevil was in an early version of the 2026 MCU movie's script. As such, Marvel and Sony are keeping Daredevil on Spider-Man's radar, and a movie return could now happen after Daredevil: Born Again's cancellation. Daredevil: Born Again 9/10 Release Date March 4, 2025 Network Disney+ Blind lawyer Matt Murdock uses his heightened abilities to pursue justice in New York as the superhero vigilante Daredevil. Manages his bustling law firm, Murdock butts heads with former mob boss Wilson Fisk's political ambitions, leading both men toward inevitable confrontation time and again.
