Industry Insider Explains Why ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Will Be Rated TV-MA: “There isn’t going to be a single redeeming quality about this guy”

Daredevil: Born Again is set to release in about four months, and fans are already excited. The show will bring back familiar characters like Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock (Daredevil), Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin, Elden Henson as Foggy, and Deborah Ann Woll as Karen.

The original version of Daredevil: Born Again was canceled after filming almost half of the episodes because it wasn’t interesting and didn’t fit the tone of Netflix’s original show. It was meant to be more of a courtroom drama with very little action from Daredevil.

After a creative overhaul, the show has become darker, which is confirmed by the stars and the recent teaser trailer. It will now have a tone more similar to Netflix’s Daredevil series and is expected to be rated TV-MA.

Vincent D’Onofrio mentioned that some scenes in the show are shocking. Charlie Cox also revealed he got to include an “F-bomb” and confirmed the show will keep the dark and intense feel of the original, saying a lot of effort went into achieving that.

Industry insider Alex Perez, known for being reliable, shared that the reason the show will be so violent and rated TV-MA is because of the villain Muse, who will appear in the show.

Muse will be a frightening character with no redeeming qualities, pushing both Daredevil and Kingpin to their limits. Matt, who has never intentionally killed anyone, will face situations that force him to make extreme choices, making the show darker and more intense than ever.

Muse is part of the reason why this show is going to be TV-MA. He is going to be one of these villains that will send chills down your spine. There isn’t going to be a single redeeming quality about this guy, and it will scare the living crap out of everyone, even Matt. But even more so, it’s a character that pushes both Matt and Fisk beyond their limits, especially with Matt.

Matt’s never killed anyone intentionally in his show, and with everything that happens in this show, and what Matt is forced to live through, you get the feeling that he’s had enough and has to take matters into his own hands by any means necessary, and that’s kind of what’s going to make this show more special.

The cast and crew’s comments back up these ideas, and we’re really excited to see what Muse will bring to the show! What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
