However, in a turn of events as of January 2024, both actors have been spotted on set, sparking excitement and speculation among fans.

Marvel Studios’ decision to bring back Page and Nelson into Daredevil: Born Again reflects a deeper commitment to the series’ roots and fan expectations.

The inclusion of Page and Nelson in the new series suggests an effort to maintain continuity and respect the narrative groundwork laid by the Netflix series.
Daredevil: Born Again is Marvel Studios’ Fresh Take on Matt Murdock’s Superhero
In 2022, Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige revealed Daredevil: Born Again, highlighting it as a reinterpretation, not a continuation, of the Daredevil story. There have been substantial revisions to the series since it was initially brought to light, altering its original trajectory. The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023 led Marvel Studios to reevaluate the project, resulting in a creative overhaul. This overhaul included the appointment of Dario Scardapane, known for his work on The Punisher, as the showrunner — a first for an MCU series. Directors Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson have also joined, bringing new creative energy to the series.
The return of Page and Nelson, coupled with a new leadership team, indicates a shift in Marvel Studios’ approach to its television productions. Daredevil: Born Again is now expected to feature fewer episodes than originally planned, suggesting a more focused and concise storytelling approach. The changes reflect Marvel Studios’ adaptive strategy in content creation, ensuring that their series remain engaging and relevant to both new and returning audiences.
As Daredevil: Born Again moves forward, the excitement surrounding these latest developments is unmistakable. The inclusion of Woll and Henson, alongside Cox, D’Onofrio, and Bernthal, not only brings a sense of nostalgia but also promises a fresh and thrilling chapter in the Daredevil saga.
