One of the most influential storyline in the character’s run at Marvel Comics may be heading to Daredevil’s season 3.
Charlie Cox spoke about the new season and how it will play off of the events of The Defenders. He also revealed how excited he was to see an iconic scene from David Mazzucchelli and Frank Miller’s Born Again take place in the closing moments of the popular crossover series.
“That’s such an amazing story. Everyone who loves Daredevil loves Born Again,” Cox said to the Hollywood Reporter when asked if the new season will use the comic as a blueprint. “You can’t not. And if that’s the case, then the implications of that would be very exciting to me. That would be great.”
“Having said that, I know we don’t tend to follow any story blueprints too closely, because if you do, then you become a foregone conclusion,” Cox said. “There may be elements from Born Again, but I’m sure there will be elements that are unfamiliar and surprising and different in order for the show to be compelling to fans who know the comics very well. If we start making Born Again page-for-page, then the people who have read it and loved it — the hardcore fans — they won’t have too much drama.”
It looks like Cox is on board to bring this story arch to the small screen!
