There's no doubt that Daredevil: Born Again season 2 has so far packed a lot of action into its seven episodes, with just one installment left to go. However, Daredevil star Charlie Cox has revealed which stunts didn't make the final cut, and he doesn't sound happy about it.
Whilst speaking to Daredevil: Born Again episode 1 and 2 directors Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson on the Daredevil: Born Again Official Podcast on YouTube, Cox said, "I do have one gripe. The amount of hours I spent learning that discipline with the dummy. That did not make it into our show very much. It did a little. But relatively, the amount of time I spent learning it. Not enough."
Cox is talking about the scene in Daredevil: Born Again season 2 premiere where he is practicing his fighting skills on a martial arts dummy whilst Karen Page watches on. But it sounds like the star expected to see a lot more fighting training than what made it on screen. It sounds as though the show needs to go back to the original Daredevil series' 13-episode release strategy.

However, fans missed it entirely on another stunt, which would have seen Cox defying gravity. "I also seem to remember that I very bravely threw myself off a 20-foot scaffolding headfirst backwards," added Cox. "That is also not in the show." The scene in question was supposed to introduce Daredevil's new black suit as the vigilante threw himself off a building into the night. Cox said he "was terrified."
It is not clear why the stunt didn't make it in the final cut. However, we assume a black suit plus the pitch black that comes with filming at night didn't create the best footage. Benson joked that although the stunt didn't make it to the episode, the crew appreciated seeing it on set, to which Cox joked, "I need the audience appreciation, otherwise it counts for nothing."
Matt Murdock has certainly not held back any punches this season, pardon the pun. But it looks like the season finale will turn the action to eleven as Daredevil: Born Again season 2 episode 8 titled 'The Southern Cross' will see Daredevil save both Karen and New York from the clutches of a grieving Mayor Fisk.
