Overview
- Cox, in an interview published Tuesday, said Tom Hiddleston had been set to direct an episode of Daredevil: Born Again before the show's reset.
- He said the pre-overhaul first season was planned for 18 episodes with Hiddleston targeting roughly episode 12, and the pair had already begun trading ideas by phone.
- Marvel removed the initial writers and directors and installed Dario Scardapane as showrunner, who reworked the season in a shift that reviewers and fans have received more warmly.
- Season 2 is closing this week and Season 3 is now filming, with set photos pointing to a Defenders reunion that has not been formally announced.
- Cox said Marvel asked him to focus on the series for now, leaving other MCU appearances as possibilities without specific plans.
