Daredevil star Charlie Cox has put our concerns to rest, promising that the violent nature of the original Netflix show will not be watered down in the upcoming reboot Daredevil: Born Again, despite it being released on Disney Plus.
"The thing that we kept talking about was, this show has had the success that it’s had and has appealed to a very specific demographic because it's one of the few superhero shows that is so dark and sinister at times," said Cox to Entertainment Weekly. "So we really pushed for the show to remain geared towards an older audience and not dumbed down to kind of capture a wider net of people. I think in some ways it's even darker than a lot of the stuff we've done in the past."
The original Daredevil show hit Netflix in 2015 and saw Cox suit up for the first time as the lawyer by day Matt Murdock and red-suited vigilante Daredevil by night. Based on the Marvel comic book character of the same name, Netflix’s Daredevil was aimed at more mature audiences and contained brutal and bloody scenes, not like we’re used to seeing in many Disney Plus Marvel shows such as Agatha All Along.
