The creative team behind Daredevil: Born Again admits that test audiences did, in fact, like those scrapped Daredevil: Born Again episodes – but a lot of that material made its way into the final version of the new Disney Plus show.
"They did quite well because [audiences] loved the characters," executive producer Brad Winderbaum explained to Entertainment Weekly. "They loved Vincent and Charlie, so there was a lot of goodwill there."
"The things that were working, and the things that always worked, [were] Matt Murdock and his relationship with his friends, the dichotomy of being a hero and a lawyer, the pressures of a person in your life like Kingpin — all of those were there," showrunner Dario Scardapane explained. "It was really a matter of adding to and giving context. There were a couple of storylines that just needed to be there, and it wasn't even with our main characters."
