As anticipation builds for the highly anticipated Daredevil: Born Again series, showrunner Dario Scardapane has provided insights into the potential appearance of Tatiana Maslany?s She-Hulk in Season 1. Fans are eager to know how their favorite characters may intersect once more in this exciting continuation of the Daredevil saga.
Charlie Cox?s iconic vigilante first teamed up with Jennifer Walters in the MCU during She-Hulk Episode 8. With the return of Daredevil to the small screen, excitement among fans is palpable as they speculate whether these two dynamic crime-fighters will cross paths again. In a recent interview, Dario Scardapane addressed these questions, providing clarity on She-Hulk?s possible role within the upcoming series.
Dario Scardapane Discusses the Relationship Between Daredevil: Born Again, She-Hulk, and Spider-Man: No Way Home
Scardapane confirmed that Daredevil remains part of the MCU canon and possesses a rich backstory within the franchise. However, he made it clear that Daredevil: Born Again will not delve deeply into certain previous events, including the fleeting encounter between She-Hulk and Cox?s character. This decision marks a significant pivot in storytelling as the series seeks to carve out its own unique narrative path.
In a conversation with SFX magazine, Scardapane elaborated, stating, ?We establish a very specific Daredevil, both in terms of his dilemma, down to the suit and where we?re picking him up in his life? (via GamesRadar+). This approach highlights a fresh take on the character, focusing on his current challenges and growth rather than past interactions.
He further clarified, ?You can say that Daredevil is canon in the MCU, those other events [in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk] happened, but some of them we are not leaning into. His one-night stand with She-Hulk may be one of those things.? This indicates a conscious decision to shift focus away from previous plot points and explore new character dynamics and story arcs.
Consequently, it appears unlikely that fans will witness the romantic connection between Jennifer Walters and Matt Murdoch, first hinted at in She-Hulk, develop further in Daredevil: Born Again. The official trailer has already hinted at a budding relationship between the titular superhero and Margarita Levieva?s character, Heather Glenn, suggesting a new romantic storyline for Hell Kitchen?s beloved hero.
Scardapane also piqued fans? curiosity by hinting at unexpected twists in the upcoming series, stating, ?I don?t want to give anything away, but you?re going to see a character [in our show] you never thought you would, but they get folded into the story in a manner that is organic and exists in our world.? This teaser promises an intriguing blend of familiar and new elements that will enhance the viewing experience.
Daredevil: Born Again is set to premiere in the US on March 4, 2025, exclusively on Disney+, and fans are eagerly awaiting this exciting addition to the MCU.
