New DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Promo Art on Display at D23 Expo; X-MEN '97 Composers Board Series

There is something new Daredevil: Born Again promo art on display at D23 Expo, which launches this weekend. There’s a cool little set up on the convention room floor and one side features Charlie Cox‘s Daredevil and the other side features Vincent D’Onofrio‘s The Kingpin, and the art is done in a graffiti-style.

Daredevil: Born Again is among a few MCU projects we expect to be showcased at D23’s “Disney Entertainment Showcase” tonight. If we’re lucky, we’ll get a first trailer.

It was also announced that The Newton Brothers (X-Men ’97) will be composing Daredevil: Born Again’s score.

They shared in a post: “We’re thrilled to finally share that we’re composing the score for Daredevil: Born Again! As lifelong fans of the Daredevil comics, this project is another dream come true.

“We’ve always had a deep love for the character’s complex world. It goes without saying that we love John Paesano’s incredible theme! More to come soon on all of this.”

Marvel’s Head of Television, Streaming, and Animated producer Brad Winderbaumpreviously talked about the series saying it will feature a whole new “political” angle to Daredevil and Kingpin’s arch-rivalry.

Winderbaum compared the show to X-Men ’97: “Daredevil is incredible. It’s similar in some ways to X-Men ’97 because it’s reviving something that the fans love. But it’s taking it in a new direction.”

He went on to tease how things have changed, saying: “These characters have matured, the universe is different than it was. Things have changed, society’s changed. Matt and Wilson have changed.

“And their characters are gonna collide in ways we’ve never seen before. It’s no longer enough to try to murder each other. There’s a whole game of politics at play.”

The new series is reportedly inspired by the Devil’s Reign storyline, which explores the power dynamics between Kingpin and the vigilantes who stand up against him. The story revolves around the power struggle between Daredevil and Wilson Fisk, who becomes the Mayor of New York City.

In this arc, Kingpin uses his newfound political influence to launch a crackdown on vigilantes, making their activities illegal. This leads to a fierce confrontation between Daredevil and Kingpin, with the latter using all his resources to hunt down and eliminate Daredevil and his allies.

D’Onofrio previously talked about the project, saying: “It brings in a lot of cool stories and all the collateral story that happened in those original three seasons. So we now get to start this Born Again situation with all of that history behind us and the outcome of all that history So we’re all talking about Daredevil: Born Again in those terms now.”

The series also stars Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle / The Punisher, Vanessa Fisk, Michael Gandolfini, Margarita Levieva, Nikki M. James, Michael Gaston, Arty Froushanand Clark Johnson in undisclosed roles. Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson will also reprise their roles of Karen Page and Foggy Nelson. Wilson Bethel is reprising his role as Benjamin Poindexter, aka Bullseye.

Daredevil: Born Again is currently being developed by directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorheadwho worked on both Moon Knight and Loki.
