Though Daredevil: Born Again hit a few production snags that delayed its Disney Plus debut, Marvel has finally released the series’ first trailer ahead of its premiere in March.
When last we saw Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), he was getting into squabbles out in Oklahoma, but Daredevil: Born Again’s new trailer sends him back to New York City where Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) just so happens to be running for mayor. Fisk seems to be running a strong campaign that has many people convinced he has a plan to make the city a safer place. But Murdock doesn’t need his super senses to sniff out that there’s something rotten at the core of Fisk’s political ambitions.
Along with brief shots of Murdock’s buds Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), and Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), the trailer also spotlights the MCU’s new takes on Hector Ayala / White Tiger (Kamar de los Reyes) and Muse (Muse’s actor has yet to be officially revealed), a supervillain first introduced in Charles Soule’s 2016 Daredevil comics run. The sheer amount of bone crunching and blood oozing in the trailer makes it seem like Marvel is, at least aesthetically, trying to go for some of the grittiness that made Netflix’s Daredevil series feel so distinct from the rest of the MCU. We’ll find out for sure when it premieres on March 4th.
