Vincent D’Onofrio Gives ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Production Update
While Daredevil: Born Again is poised to bring Charlie Cox’s Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio back off the sidelines and fully into the MCU, the show has had a tough time getting off the ground.
Production on Born Again was delayed due to the onset of the SAG-AFTRA strike last year, which shut down filming on the series.
Then, during the pause in production, Marvel executives led by Kevin Feige reviewed the finished episodes and determined that the series was not working.
At this time, head writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman left the series, and Marvel released the directors who were set to helm the nine unshot episodes.
Bringing In Reinforcements
Marvel subsequently brought in The Punisher writer Dario Scardapane as well as Moon Knight and Loki veterans Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead to help rework the show.
While some aspects of the already shot material will be used going forward, other elements were scrapped.
According to Vincent D’Onofrio, however, production seems to be back on track.
Kingpin Gives an Update
When promoting his upcoming appearance in Echo, D’Onofrio had this to say about Daredevil: Born Again.
“We’re having a really good time right now. We are getting back up. We’re gonna start soon, hopefully sooner than later, and Charlie [Cox] and I feel like the right vibe is there.”
Commenting on all the changes surrounding Daredevil: Born Again, D’Onofrio said that he felt lucky.
“I think all the powers out there that control this whole creative world of the MCU, also believe that we’re in the right place right now. And I have to say, it’s luck, really. I mean, my favorite series so far have been ‘Moon Knight’ and ‘Loki.’ And we’ve got those guys as directors, and so that’s pretty lucky. And we’ve got Dario [Scardapane], who’s an incredible writer who wrote ‘The Punisher.’ We’re in a very happy place right now.”
While fans will likely have to wait longer than expected for Daredevil: Born Again to arrive, by the sound of things, production is back on track and running smoothly.
