2024 will witness the revamped Marvel Cinematic Universe. The franchise is in its new phase, breaking new ground with the release of ‘Echo’ and ‘Deadpool 3’. The former became the first shortest MCU series to be rated TV-MA not because of nudity, but because of the tragic story and the blood-thirsty revenge taken by Maya Lopez. Now, ‘Daredevil: Born Again‘ is projected to have a TV-MA rating.
It has been suggested that it could be one of the most violent MCU releases so far but recently Marvel hinted that it won’t be a bloodbath leaving the fans disappointed.

Marvel’s ‘Echo’ Indicated ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Won’t Be That Violent
The fans were heavily disappointed with the news that ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ won’t feature much violence and bloodbath as promised earlier. The reason is that ‘Echo’ despite being rated TV-MA, does not feature much violence. The show’s level of violence barely held a candle to the kind displayed in Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ or both ‘Deadpool’ movies. That is even though it could have gone much further to depict the brutality of Wilson Fisk and his lackeys in detail.
The story of Maya Lopez is not the one for kids, as her story begins with a tragic car collision in which she loses both her mother and her leg in a dark moment. Also when Maya goes head-to-head with a notorious criminal underbelly it hardly comes close to brutality. This suggests that Marvel may still wish to avoid conveying too much violence in its Disney+ shows and ‘Daredevil: Born Again‘ might follow the same steps.

Why ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Won’t Feature Hardcore Violence
Despite ‘Daredevil’ having one of the most iconic and brutal action sequences in Marvel history, it wasn’t known for its violence which was in no comparison to ‘Deadpool’. And now with Marvel finally getting on the path of redemption after the disastrous Phase Five, it does not want to be associated with merely violence only.
The Kingpin actor Vincent D’Onofrio has stated it was the emotion behind the brutal action sequences that made them compelling, not the violence itself in regard to the violent scenes. Daredevil’s violent sequences are just a small part of what made the show so iconic.
