Daredevil: Born Again Boss Says No Big MCU Crossovers as Season 2 Wraps Fisk Arc

Showrunner Dario Scardapane frames the Disney+ series as a granular Hell's Kitchen tale that stays in its own MCU pocket.

Overview

  • Scardapane says the show is unlikely to host visits from major MCU film heroes, characterizing it as a localized, street-level story set “downtown” in Hell’s Kitchen.
  • Season 2 centers on Mayor Wilson Fisk’s crackdown in New York City, with Scardapane saying that storyline reaches its conclusion this season.
  • The season premieres March 24 on Disney+, with Krysten Ritter returning as Jessica Jones and Matthew Lillard debuting as the mysterious Mr. Charles.
  • Reflecting on production changes, Scardapane called Season 1 a “cobbled-together Frankenstein” but says the new run will “let rip” in ways the first could not.
  • The showrunner expresses mixed feelings about the timely political edge this season but signals a pivot toward a more Frank Miller–inspired, street-level approach afterward.
