Marvel’s long-awaited ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ finally hits Disney+, bringing with it a fresh and timely take on the iconic character. Creator Matt Corman, Chris Ord, and Dario Scardapane have masterfully woven together a gritty, amoral, and ultraviolent narrative that echoes our nation’s current state.
The series, starring Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as the Kingpin, is a scathing critique of power and corruption. Wilson Fisk’s “Fisk Can Fix It” candidacy is a disturbing reminder of our country’s divisions and the dangers of authoritarianism. The show’s creators have skillfully linked it to the Marvel universe, while also introducing new themes and characters that resonate with contemporary America.
The return of Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, played by Jon Bernthal, adds another layer to the narrative, exploring the darker aspects of American society. With its fast-paced action, dark humor, and social commentary, ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is a must-watch for fans of the genre. Despite some missteps in production design, the show’s relevance and timeliness make it a triumphant return to form.
