Filming for Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again series is shutting down again because of complications brought on by the WGA writers’ strike. The highly-anticipated series needs to roll cameras at Silvercup East in New York. However, that’s where the primary picketing location for WGA members stands its ground. The latest pause for Disney+’s Daredevil series follows a previous shutdown when members of the Teamster Local 817 and IATSE Locals 829 and 52 would not cross the line.
Daredevil: Born Again is three months into an 8-month filming schedule. With the strike disrupting an already tight itinerary, Daredevil might not reach fans for quite some time.
Charlie Cox reprises his role as Matt Murdoch/Daredevil for the series. The actor officially rejoined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Vincent D’Onofrio will return as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, with Jon Bernthal returning as The Punisher. Michael Gandolfini (The Many Saints of Newark), Margarita Levieva (The Deuce), Michael Gaston (Fringe), and Sandrine Holt (Better Call Saul) are also part of the cast, with reports saying Holt will be playing Vanessa Fisk, the wife of Kingpin. Ayelet Zurer (Moonhaven) played Vanessa in the Netflix Daredevil series.
Daredevil: Born Again is written and executive produced by Matt Corman and Chris Ord and will have eighteen episodes. After several years of rumors following the cancellation of Netflix’s Daredevil series, Charlie Cox leaped to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Spider-Man: No Way Home. He also suited up for She-Hulk and is expected to appear in the upcoming Echo series. As for Vincent D’Onofrio, he returned for Hawkeye and will also appear in Echo.
As the WGA strike continues, more productions are getting hit with delays and disruptions to their respective schedules. Parties on both sides are working toward a compromise, but the process is sensitive and slow-going. Numerous individuals and organizations have shown solidarity with the WGA, hoping for better terms and a swift resolution to the ongoing dispute.
At this rate, it could be a while before we see Daredevil: Born Again. Are the delays hampering your anticipation for the series? Feel free to let us know in the comments below.
