While I ’m very excited about the coming release ofDaredevil : expect Again , I ’m disoriented about one key plot point in theMCUseries , and the event ofShe - Hulk : Attorney at Lawhas made this even high-risk . I have loved learn Charlie Cox ’s portrayal of blind lawyer - come - vigilante Matt Murdock since he first seem as the Man Without Fear in Netflix’sDaredevilseries . Born Againwill thankfully be continuingDaredevil’sstories , as theDefenders Saga is now MCU canon , but I ’m confused about the upcoming show ’s actual plaza in the MCU .

Thefirst house trailer forDaredevil : Born Againhas revealed an intense and grim new adventure for the Devil of Hell ’s Kitchen , as he goes back into conflict against the likes of Wilson Fisk ’s Kingpin , Benjamin Poindexter ’s Bullseye and the oracular Muse . I ca n’t wait to see Charlie Cox ’s Daredevil back in action , especially after have glimpses of him inSpider - Man : Homecoming , She - giant : Attorney at LawandEcho . However , I ’m also curious about how Marvel Studios will explain one major timeline divergence I ’ve detect ahead ofBorn Again’spremiere .

Matt Murdock Is Retired In Daredevil: Born Again

Matt Murdock Will Not Be Daredevil When Born Again Begins

One of the key things I remark fromDaredevil : Born Again’strailer is that it begins withMatt Murdock having retire as Daredevil . The house trailer hints that , at some point , Murdock crossed the line while mesh as Daredevil , whichsome have theorized way he may have bolt down someone , forcing him to hang up up the hood and resume life sentence as a regular attorney . This seems to allow him to infix into a flimsy truce with Vincent D’Onofrio ’s Wilson Fisk , which I ’m emotional to see , but Daredevil ’s retreat raises some big questions for the MCU .

Of of course , it does n’t seem likeDaredevil : Born Againwill go too long before Matt Murdock suits up as the Devil of Hell ’s Kitchen once again . Charlie Cox is expected to skylark abrand - newfangled , brighter , more MCU - appropriate temerarious costumewhile fighting alongside the the likes of of Frank Castle ’s Punisher and Hector Ayala ’s White Tiger against some formidable young villains . As delirious as I am , however , I’m very confused about the detail fence Matt Murdock ’s retreat inDaredevil : Born Again , as this progress to footling sensory faculty in the MCU ’s timeline .

Daredevil’s Retirement Doesn’t Make Sense In The MCU After She-Hulk

A retreat storyline for Matt Murdock inDaredevil : Born Againwould certainly be very interesting under normal condition , but in the current MCU timeline , I do n’t think this give a draw of mother wit . Matt Murdock was not retire during the events ofShe - Hulk : Attorney at Law , which was ready in 2025 in the MCU ’s timeline , whileDaredevil : abide Againis ostensibly set in the MCU ’s present day of recent 2026.Born Againmust be set after the event ofEcho , which teasedWilson Fisk ’s Kingpin becoming Mayor of New York City , andEchowas also set in 2025 .

It ’s potential that Matt Murdock retired asDaredevil afterShe - Hulk : Attorney at Law , but this year - long gap would n’t really be a meaningful amount of time , and would surely be believe just a abbreviated suspension rather than an honest - to - goodness retirement . swashbuckler : Born Again’strailer induce us remember Murdock has been retired for quite some clip , but the timeline ofShe - Hulk : Attorney at LawandEchomakes this impossible . I bet Marvel Studios could carry out an old MCU possibility to explain these timeline issue , but even this has problems .

Daredevil: Born Again Could Explore A Mostly-Unseen Period In The MCU

Daredevil: Born Again Has Been Speculated To Explore The Blip

Ever since the series was first announced by Marvel boss Kevin Feige , there has been speculation thatDaredevil : Born Againcould explore the five - year - long BlipfromAvengers : Endgamein more contingent . Examining this creation - changing event from the street - level perspective in the MCU is something I ’ve been desperate to see , and this could explicate the timeline issues that I ’ve spotted inBorn Again’strailer . We know Daredevil was active in 2018 , as he oppose Maya Lopez during that clip , but he did n’t reappear until the 2024 - setShe - whale : Attorney at Law .

In December , Bullseye histrion Wilson Bethel revealed thatDaredevil : Born Againwill pick up five years after the end of the original serial , which conclude in 2018 . This impliesBorn Againwill , at least part , be set during , or presently after , the Blip in 2023 .

This would give Matt Murdock more than enough sentence to have a meaningful retirement , perfectly setting the point forDaredevil : Born Againto research his return to action . This makes me thinkDaredevil : Born Againmight take place over several different time full point in the MCU ’s recent account , investigating the Blip , the period soon before She - Hulk , and the period following Wilson Fisk ’s decision to draw for Mayor at theend of the 2025 - setEcho . I ca n’t look to see Marvel Studios ' account for this timeline discrepancy inDaredevil : Born Again .
