As fans campaigned to see Matt Murdock return to Hell’s Kitchen, Marvel announced that Daredevil would be joining the MCU at San Diego Comic-Con 2022. He will be reintroduced in She-Hulk: Lawyer then his own series entitled Daredevil: Born Again.
Will Born Again be a sequel?
Given the title of the new show, many speculated that it would start with a new origin, a soft reboot, or just a continuation. Commenting on the discussion at Extra at D23, daredevil actor Charlie Cox said:
” I know nothing. I haven’t seen a script… My feeling is, based on the title ‘Born Again’, I think the meaning is that it’s a new beginning, it’s going to be different, it’s going to be totally different. It will be new stories and new ideas.

Whether we’ll see all of the Defenders join the MCU remains to be seen, but considering the MCU’s upcoming expansion, it’s not that far-fetched. Considering the preparation of the next MCU films, in particular Avengers: Secret Warsthe heroes wouldn’t mind having other allies.
Is Daredevil joining the Avengers?
Among the many theories, fans suspect that Daredevil will join the Avengers, as there is already a priority in the comics. Charlie Cox also chimed in on this debate, while jokingly confirming the possibility, he said:
“I see him as a key member of the Avengers, imperative to everything they do.”

Despite the fanfare, it would be odd to see the character join the Avengers since they face higher threats, when Daredevil is more of a street hero. While there are characters like Hawkeye and Black Widow who were also mere humans, they were also skilled and trained assassins.
Daredevil: Born Again should be released in the spring of 2024.
