The cast of the upcoming MCU Disney+ series ‘Daredevil: Born Again‘ recently sat down for an interview with Entertainment Weekly where they opened up about how the new show will connect back to the original Daredevil Netflix seasons that concluded in 2018.
Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Deborah Ann Woll, and Elden Henson were all on hand to tease the revival’s ties to the past, and this is what they said in a recent interview on connecting the two versions of the show.
Daredevil Props From The Past Reappear, Says Charlie Cox
“The first day on set with Deborah, myself, and Elden was really special because the scene that was written was like a scene where we were reminiscing over old times and all the things we’ve done,” Cox told in an interview with EW. “And it just so happened that we shot that very early on and we hadn’t seen each other for years“. While the conversation originated from the scene, Cox noted that the emotions were very real as the cast was catching up after so long apart.
D’Onofrio also commented on noticing no difference between real conversations between cast members and scenes written to call back to the past. Cox then revealed that real props were utilized from the original Netflix seasons. “Deborah and I had a scene where we find an old box. Am I allowed to say that? I think I can say that,” Cox stated. “We had a scene where we were looking through a box and we find stuff from the past, and it was real stuff from the past.”

Character Histories Remain Intact
Cox appreciates the depth provided by maintaining the character histories established in the Netflix seasons. “But at the same time, it can be an enemy, because that is the stuff that’s left behind you as you go forward and then you’re tied to it,” Cox said. The writers did well to allow the history while avoiding sticking to the past too much.
Woll assured fans that “our history stands” with what came before still impacting who the characters presently are. “What the characters went through still exists, that’s still part of who they are, it’s just that now we’re catching up with them at a different point in their lives,” she said. The cast is clearly eager to embrace both new and old fans alike when ‘Daredevil: Born Again‘ premieres on Disney+ in 2025.
