A planned eight-month shoot on Marvel Studios’ “Daredevil: Born Again” series got underway in early March before filming was halted by mid-June due to the writer’s strike.
That means the easy majority of the eighteen-episode new run of the character, with Charlie Cox reprising the Matt Murdock/Daredevil role from the prior Netflix television series, has yet to shoot.
Now a new report from DanielRPK (via Daredevil Updates) indicates that Muse will reportedly be the villain of the first part of the new run.
In the comics, Muse is a sociopathic serial killer with a major god complex who turns his victims into twisted works of art. Along with a quite distinct white-and-black outfit, in the comics he also has powers including superhuman strength, speed and the ability to manipulate sensory information around him – making him difficult to target.
The new series also sees the return of Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin and Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher, who served as the antagonist for the first and early part of the second seasons of the Netflix “Daredevil” series.
Sandrine Holt also stars in the new run, which was originally aiming to have an early 2024 release but will likely be delayed due to the strikes.
