00:00A highly anticipated rematch, the return of a powerful husband-and-wife team, and the
00:05debut of a new and terrifying villain.
00:08There's a lot to be excited about in the new teaser for Daredevil Born Again.
00:13It's been a long wait since 2018, when the third and final season of Netflix's Daredevil
00:18came to a close and left fans wondering whether they'd ever see Charlie Cox suit up in the
00:22red suit again.
00:23However, Daredevil is back in the Disney Plus series Daredevil Born Again, and so are his
00:28batons.
00:29An early image in the teaser shows Matt Murdock opening up a box containing his two batons,
00:34framed with all the pomp and circumstance befitting the occasion.
00:37However, later scenes put Daredevil and his batons fully in action.
00:41He gets into brawls, jumps off the edge of buildings, and even fully extends his billy
00:45clubs to reveal those classic wire cables and grappling hooks.
00:49Welcome back to the Marvel fold, Jon Bernthal.
00:52The popular character actor hasn't actually suited up as Frank Castle, better known as
00:56the Punisher, since his own Netflix spinoff series came to an end in 2019, but fans have
01:01spent the intervening years hoping he'd return.
01:04Those wishes have been granted in Daredevil Born Again.
01:06Officially, we haven't yet seen Daredevil and the Punisher square off against one another
01:10in the same scene.
01:11The teaser only gives us the barest glimpse of Frank Castle looking ready for action,
01:16but it's likely only a matter of time before he ends up on a crash course with the Devil
01:19once again.
01:21No Daredevil show would feel complete without the kingpin himself, Wilson Fisk.
01:25Thankfully, he returns in Daredevil Born Again.
01:28You've come up in the world, I can say the same about you.
01:33He won't be alone, however, as his lady love, Vanessa, will also be back by his side.
01:37In the trailer, she's attending a fancy gala with her villainous husband.
01:41The relationship between the two remains one of the clear highlights from the Netflix shows,
01:45grounding the larger-than-life Fisk in a romance that truly felt real and humanizing.
01:49We can't wait to see how much of a spotlight this power couple gets this time around.
01:54Back when Marvel seemed uncertain over whether to deliver a soft reboot of Daredevil or not,
01:59the biggest potential loss would have been never seeing a proper conclusion to the bullseye
02:02Daredevil dynamic from season three of the Netflix series.
02:06Played by Wilson Bethel, Benjamin Poindexter was a constant thorn in Matt Murdock's side,
02:11and a total wildcard in his war with Wilson Fisk.
02:14The three-way fight between them ultimately ended with Bullseye paralyzed and sidelined.
02:18At least, that's what we were meant to think.
02:20With Bethel returning as Bullseye, it's clear there's plenty of unfinished business between
02:24himself and the superhero he had been impersonating for so long.
02:28That's not the kind of thing that Daredevil would easily brush aside, so it's only natural
02:32that the two would end up at each other's throats once again.
02:34And for a series that delivered so many memorable hallway fights, this Daredevil-Born-Again
02:39teaser makes it seem like we're in for yet another one.
02:43We've known that Born Again would act as a reunion of sorts, bringing back many of the
02:47heroes and villains from the Netflix show.
02:49But it wouldn't be an MCU joint if Kevin Feige didn't add yet another unexpected wrinkle
02:53into the mix.
02:55Despite all the obvious antagonism on display, the main storyline of Born Again appears to
02:59be a team-up between Fisk and Daredevil.
03:02So what crisis could possibly bring two such sworn enemies together?
03:06How about another, even greater threat hidden in the shadows?
03:10Meet Muse.
03:11An extremely recent addition to the Marvel Universe, Muse stands out by the set of powers
03:14he possesses.
03:16These include super strength, super speed, and the ability to mess with Daredevil's sonar-like
03:20powers of sight.
03:22It remains to be seen how faithfully Born Again adapts the character, but this has all
03:26the makings of Daredevil's fiercest foe yet.
03:29In the final moments of the teaser, we see Matt as an attorney, brushing past a man who
03:33seems to be curious about his credentials.
03:35Exactly what kind of a lawyer are you?
03:38A really good one.
03:40Take a closer glimpse at the other individual in this scene, and viewers may recognize a
03:43familiar face — Mohan Kapoor's Yusuf Khan, the father of none other than Kamala Khan.
03:49What is he doing bumping shoulders with Matt Murdock, and why does he apparently need his
03:53services as a lawyer?
03:54Those are terribly good questions that we have no answers to.
