Daredevil: Born Again to Explore a Five-Year Time Leap in Character Development

The upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again is set to continue the story after a substantial gap from the previous Netflix installment. Recently, at Fan Expo San Francisco, an intriguing detail emerged from Wilson Bethel, the actor portraying Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter, commonly known as Bullseye. He revealed that the narrative will unfold five years following the conclusion of the original show.

According to Bethel, the storyline introduces a unique aspect by allowing a significant period to have passed. He explains that instead of resuming immediately following the final episode, the upcoming series will begin five years later. This means that all the characters have experienced life and its challenges during this interval, which can open up a variety of fresh narratives and developments.

It’s important to remember that Daredevil wrapped up its run on Netflix in 2018. Following that, the last of Netflix's Marvel offerings concluded about nine months later with Jessica Jones. Meanwhile, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has continued to expand, presenting numerous projects that have further shaped the overall storyline. Thus, the term time-jump may not fully encapsulate the complexities involved in this new continuation.

As a result, there are likely many unexplored facets of Matt Murdock's journey that took place during the five-year gap, which could be addressed when Daredevil: Born Again premieres on Disney+ in March 2025. This forthcoming series has the potential to dive into those unexplored stories, enriching the experience for fans of the franchise.
