Charlie Cox returns as Daredevil in the new Disney+ series “Daredevil: Born Again,” alongside former co-stars Vincent D’Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll, and Jon Bernthal. The reboot, already greenlit for a second season, brings back Cox’s iconic character, Matt Murdock, as he navigates the challenges of being a blind lawyer with heightened abilities fighting for justice. The series explores the conflict between Daredevil and Wilson Fisk, played by D’Onofrio, who is now the mayor of New York City.
After years of speculation and doubt, Cox admits that he was surprised by the revival of the series, crediting D’Onofrio for his persistence in predicting Marvel’s call to continue the story. The new iteration of Daredevil aims to maintain the darkness and intensity of the original while adding a touch of humor and charm to appeal to a broader audience.
Vincent D’Onofrio reprises his role as Kingpin, embodying the complex and menacing Wilson Fisk. He expresses his excitement for returning to the character and the show, highlighting his dedication to the fans. Meanwhile, Deborah Ann Woll returns as Karen Page, despite initial plans that did not include her character in the reboot.
The cast and characters of “Daredevil: Born Again” promise to deliver a thrilling and captivating storyline as they delve into the intricate web of alliances and conflicts in the Marvel universe.
The process leading up to her official casting was like a whirlwind of emotions. “It’s not often that something makes a big comeback after so many years,” she expressed to the publication. “So, being invited back later on was just the cherry on top.”
Elden Henson returns as Foggy Nelson, Matt Murdock’s loyal friend and law partner. “I had hoped and dreamed, but honestly, I didn’t believe it would happen,” he shared with Entertainment Tonight in March 2025. “I feel fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to embody Foggy.”
Foggy is a character cherished by Marvel fans, including Henson. “I think it’s his strong sense of ethics. He’s someone who sees things as right or wrong and always strives to do what’s right … He trusts in the law and believes in doing things the proper way,” he mentioned. “Foggy possesses many traits that I aspire to in my personal life.”
Wilson Bethel reprises his role as Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter, also known as the menacing supervillain Bullseye, in Daredevil: Born Again. Bullseye was a new addition to the reboot after a creative revamp by the production team — a change that Bethel appreciates. “This role and this project are among the most significant in my entire career,” he revealed to The Hollywood Reporter in February 2025.
Returning as Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, fan-favorite Jon Bernthal expressed his genuine enthusiasm for the Disney+ reboot at D23 in August 2024. “I believe that if you were a fan of the previous show, you’ll love this one. We’re taking it up a notch,” he stated. “We’re all thrilled to be together. We’re proud of what we accomplished.”
Margarita Levieva joins the new cast of Daredevil: Born Again as Heather Glenn, Matt Murdock’s romantic interest. Describing the series to Critqal in March 2025, she noted it to be “grittier and darker” compared to the earlier version on Netflix. “This series offers a raw look at humanity by dissecting human psychology in a way we haven’t seen before,” Levieva hinted.
Genneya Walton is another new addition to the cast, playing young N.Y.C. reporter BB Ulrich. During an interview with PIX11 News in March 2025, Walton described BB as “resilient, determined, and ambitious.” She also shared how she unintentionally manifested her role in Daredevil: Born Again. “In 2017, I wrote in my phone that I wanted a part in this Marvel Universe,” she recalled. “After booking this, I found that note. I called my mom and said…”.
“Wow, I unintentionally brought it into reality,” said Walton. “Having previously appeared in Netflix’s Never Have I Ever, Walton then landed a role alongside Eddie Murphy in the upcoming film Candy Cane Lane in 2023. Read the complete article on People’s website.”
