Daredevil: Born Againfilminghas not started yet, meaning the Disney Plus series is still fine-tuning details for Matt Murdock’s solo MCU feature. That includes adding some top-notch writing talent with plenty of legal background.
Marvel Studios had already donesomething similar forShe-Hulk, the show whereDaredevilmade his debut in the MCU. However, the series’ light-hearted nature had little room for courtroom drama. With theDaredevil: Born Againseries having a record-high 18-episode count ahead of its 2024 premiere, that last part could change dramatically, hence why some fellow attorneys are being brought on board.
