'Daredevil: Born Again' will take Matt Murdock in a 'new direction,' Marvel Studios' Head of Streaming, Television and Animation teased: 'There’s a whole game of politics at play.'
"Matt Murdock will have to fight Kingpin with more than just his fists in Daredevil: Born Again.
"The upcoming Disney+ series will see Charlie Cox’s blind superhero plunged headfirst into a brand new world that requires him to utilize both his physical and mental strengths,"
It sounds like Matt will be challenged with having to stay focused for a whole ninety minutes while Fisk lies about his record. Matt will say he's a "convicted felon" and Fisk will say those were "trumped up charges".
“Matt and Wilson have changed, and their characters are gonna collide in ways we’ve never seen before,” Winderbaum continued. “It’s no longer enough to try and murder each other, there’s a whole game of politics at play.”
I imagine this is what you’re going off of, truly hope you’re wrong. We don’t need to bring The Boys back into marvel… I really don’t see them doing what you describe, that’s not how you make money in this weird politically charged timeframe. Disney is back to funding conservative politicians again too so I don’t see them taking a “woke” lap (as much as I hate to use that term). I wouldn’t be surprised if they do throw hints and references the more I think about it though…
Especially since the comics had this exact thing; the big guy essentially framing DD as the baddy
Personally I’m excited for more of Charlie’s Matt and am hyped based on how they describe Agatha!
He also issued a word of warning for those excited to see Kathryn Hahn reprise her Wandavision role in her own spinoff starting Sept. 18.
“Agatha is...really fun, but it’s really scary and it gets quite dramatic. She’s an amazing anti-hero and that show...lures you in with the fun of Halloween, and before you know it, you’re crying,” he said. “It’s a Marvel brand of scary. It’s a Halloween show. There are deadly stakes in this series. It’s a fun ride, but it’s a dangerous one.”
Disney is back to funding conservative politicians again
I don't know where you are getting this. Disney representatives specifically spoke out against Desantis and his Parental Rights in Education bill and are not funding him and are explicitly supporting the Democrats in Florida. In any case, Marvel itself has always been "woke" with characters like Black Panther, Luke Cage, War Machine and the Falcon. They even had a "Secret Empire" storyline in Captain America that implied that Nixon was involved with Hydra.
will also see the return of several other series alums, including Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page, and Elden Henson’s Franklin “Foggy” Nelson.
