Charlie Cox confirmed that Disney+’s Daredevil: Born Again will have a historic production for the MCU when it films in New York City in 2023.
After years of clamoring from fans of the Netflix series to bring Cox’s Daredevil back to the MCU, Marvel Studios is finally delivering on that wish in a big way. Following appearances in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk, the Man Without Fear will soon continue his solo adventures on Disney+.

Daredevil: Born Again Plans Historic Filming Year

Speaking to NME, Matt Murdock actor Charlie Cox confirmed Disney’s Daredevil: Born Again will have a historic filming run as its 18-episode first season will film across 11 months – the longest production in MCU history.
Cox revealed that production on his Daredevil revival will run from February to December 2023 – with filming having previously been confirmed to take place next year in New York City:
“They said to me, ‘We’re going to be shooting in 2023.’ I said, ‘Great, when?’ They said, ‘All 2023’. I start shooting in February and finish in December.”
By comparison, the average MCU production – excluding reshoots which Born Again may have on top of the planned 11 months – lasts five to six months:
- She-Hulk – April 2021 to August 2021 (5 months)
- Secret Invasion – September 2021 to April 2022 (nearly 8 months)
- Avengers: Infinity War – January 2017 to July 2017 (6 months)
- Avengers: Endgame – August 2017 to January 2018 (5 months)
The British actor also revealed he has not yet seen any scripts or outlines, which leaves him “fascinated to discover why they’ve chosen to do 18 [episodes].”
He added how he imagines Born Again will be something of an “old-school procedural show” that will go “really deep into Matt Murdock the lawyer” and leave the superhero moments feeling that much more special:
“I’m imagining there’s going to be an element to it that is like the old-school procedural show. Not necessarily case-of-the-week, but something where we go really deep into Matt Murdock the lawyer, and get to see what his life is like. If that’s done right and he really gets his hands dirty with that world… I think there’s something quite interesting about that, to spend a lot of time in a superhero’s day-to-day life and you really earn the moments when he suits up.”
Cox later referred to the potential that he could be “busy for years” with Daredevil but added his apprehension in that regard as that will rely on Born Again “[hitting] the spot:”
“You said earlier that I could be busy for years, and I thought, ‘Yeah, maybe. Hopefully.’ But if this show next year doesn’t hit the spot, then that might be it. Then it’s back to…”
