The first reviews for Disney+’s new Marvel superhero series has been hailed as one of the comic book studio’s best projects ever.
Beginning with 2021’s WandaVision, there have been 10 TV entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, expanding the blockbuster franchise with even more iconic heroes and villains.
This week will finally see the return of Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, in the fourth season of his own series, seven years after the original drama wrapped up its third season on in 2018.
Daredevil: Born Again will see the blind vigilante of Hell’s Kitchen once again square up against Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin (played by Vincent D’Onofrio), who is running for mayor of New York City.
Reviews have been coming in ahead of the show’s release this Wednesday (5th March), and critics agree the nine-part series is one of Marvel’s best outputs in years.

“Hell, it’s the best comic book TV show ever. Nothing will prepare you for the finale! The show is a masterpiece of epic proportions.”
And Rohan Patel of the same publication wrote: “Just finished watching all 9 episodes of #DaredevilBornAgain and holy smokes what an absolute masterpiece this show is!

Connor Webb posted: “I’ve seen the entirety of #DaredevilBornAgain and… WOW.
“An epic return to the world of Daredevil in a familiar, yet fresh continuation of the popular series.
“The action is brutal and the story is a HUGE directional step for the MCU. I need season two yesterday.”
Nerds & Beyond’s Kaity shared: “So, #Daredevil: Born Again is actually 100x better than the series here in these first two episodes.
“No disney-fying here at all, great writing, and the actors are thriving with these better scripts. Best thing Marvel has come out with in years, hands down.”

And Dirk Libbey of Cinema Blend said: “I just finished #DaredevilBornAgain and it is quite simply the best thing I’ve seen in a long time.
“Powerful, emotional, and endlessly compelling. Cox and D’Onofrio are simply perfect. You guys are going to love it.”
If the rave reviewers are already getting you excited, Disney+ already confirming a second season is in the works should convince fans that Marvel has delivered one of their best shows yet.
Filming officially began in late February and it was recently announced that Scream star Matthew Lillard will be joining the cast.
Daredevil: Born Again premieres Wednesday, 5th March on Disney+.
