Fans have been buzzing with questions ever since Disney+ announcedDaredevil: Born Again.With so many changes in the Marvel landscape and the transition from Netflix to Disney, everyone’s been wondering what to expect. Will the new series acknowledge the time since we last saw Matt Murdock in Hell’s Kitchen? How connected will it be to the original show? Collider’sSteve Weintraubsought answers at Fan Expo Boston this past weekend, speaking directly withVincent D’OnofrioandCharlie Coxto get the inside scoop. Weintraub hit the nail on the head with the question everyone’s been asking: Does the Disney+ series acknowledge the time that’s passed since the Netflix series? Is it all part of the same universe or a separate timeline?
D’Onofrio, known for his portrayal ofthe menacing Kingpin, was guarded in his response but was able to tease how he and Cox figured out how much time had passed. “We do know the answer to that,” he said. “It wasn’t easy getting the answer because we had to basically figure that out on our own and then everybody had to follow our lead. But yeah, I can’t.” Despite the cryptic start, D’Onofrio reassured fans by confirming the essential connection to the previous series.
“But there is a big thing that’s already out there about the show that I can say, that is thatit is connected to the Netflix show. And nobody’s— You’re not clear about that, be clear about it.It is definitely connected to that.”
Cox, who has beensynonymous with the role of Daredevilsince the Netflix series premiered, backed up D’Onofrio’s statement with a simple yet affirmative, “Yeah.”
