The stars of Daredevil: Born Again on the connections to the unique Netflix series: “Our history stands.”

When it was first introduced that Charlie Cox can be returning for Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+, there was a query of how carefully it might (or wouldn’t) join to the unique Netflix series. Cox, together with fellow returning stars Vincent D’Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Deborah Ann Woll, and Elden Henson, informed Entertainment Weekly that “our history stands” relating to the earlier three seasons.

“What the characters went through still exists, that’s still part of who they are, it’s just that now we’re catching up with them at a different point in their lives,” mentioned Woll.

Cox added, “Deborah and I had a scene the place we discover an outdated field — am I allowed to say that? I believe I can say that. We had a scene the place we have been trying by way of a field and we discover stuff from the previous, and it was actual stuff from the previous. It was stuff from the outdated [show]. It was like a photograph body we used on a set eight years in the past and we have been it collectively — properly, I wasn’t it. But we have been reminiscing over it, and it was candy.
