01/27 - Interview Excerpts From SFX

As I'm sure you know, the upcoming SFX Magazine will have a Daredevil: Born Again cover and some exclusive interviews with the cast and showrunner.

SFX has been releasing some excerpts from the interviews online over the past few days, so here is what has been released...

Daredevil: Born Again showrunner and star Charlie Cox address why they rehauled the Marvel show: "It wasn't in line with what Daredevil had been established to be"

Showrunner Dario Scardapane:

"At the very end of the Netflix show, Foggy, Karen and Matt had a dream written out on the back of a napkin. We start with that dream. It’s not a dream that needs too much explanation; three good friends go into business together."

Charlie Cox:

"There was a U-turn after the strike, where we were headed in one direction which was interesting and valid. The argument was, if we’re coming back after all these years, we don’t want to just do exactly the same thing. Marvel looked at the episodes and knew it wasn’t quite working. We shot a whole new pilot and they reorganised what we had filmed to make it feel more like the show we had shot all those years previously. Given what a Herculean task that was, it’s very impressive what they achieved."

Charlie Cox thinks an Avengers team-up for Daredevil would be "awesome" as he teases character's future

Charlie Cox:

"I feel rejuvenated and lucky and blessed that I'm still being given the opportunity to play this character. You so rarely get to do such a varied palette of tasks as an actor. I get all of this cool stuff as a lawyer, I get emotional scenes with various love interests, and then I get to wear an awesome superhero costume and jump off rooftops. I love all of it. Normally, when you go into your tenth year playing a character, you're winding down, but we're going the other way. It would be interesting to know what gives up first, Marvel's faith in us or our bodies!"

Daredevil: Born Again will fix the showrunner's big issue with the Netflix series: "At its worst, it was two characters in a room talking about what a hero is"

Showrunner Dario Scardapane:

"There is more fun in the moments with these characters and a lot less navel-gazing than before. The earlier show, at its best, was fantastic. At its worst, it was two characters in a room talking about what a hero is. I felt that had been done. I'm not taking swipes. I just didn't want to hear characters grousing about their lot in life. I wanted to see them doing things.”

Daredevil: Born Again showrunner teases that the MCU show is "even more grounded" than DC spin-off The Penguin, going "as far as a Disney Plus show has ever gone"

Showrunner Dario Scardapane:

"It's really strange. You work in a vacuum and then something else comes out and you go, 'Oh, wow'. I would say in many ways The Penguin is our direct competition. However, we're even more grounded, even less stylized, even more rooted in the here and now. I loved Penguin. We're a little faster, meaner, cleaner in our storytelling."

Daredevil: Born Again showrunner had a "very early" vision for the show, but was forced to pivot after it got in the way of "Marvel's master plan"

Showrunner Dario Scardapane:

"I have plenty of leeway up until I hit the larger-scale plan for the MCU. So I try to ignore some stuff [from the wider universe]. We establish a very specific Daredevil, both in terms of his dilemma, down to the suit and where we're picking him up in his life. You can say that Daredevil is canon in the MCU, those other events [in Spider-Man and She-Hulk] happened, but some of them we are not leaning into. His one-night stand with She-Hulk may be one of those things."
