Daredevil: Born Again Stakes Out a 'Downtown' Lane, Rules Out Big MCU Drop-Ins Before Season 2

Showrunner Dario Scardapane says the series will stick to a granular Hell's Kitchen pocket of the MCU.

Overview

  • Season 2 premieres March 24 on Disney+, continuing Marvel's street-level storyline centered in Hell's Kitchen.
  • Scardapane told SFX Magazine that major MCU heroes will not swing by the show, describing crossovers as off the table for Hell's Kitchen.
  • He framed the series as a focused "pocket" where stories stay small-scale, even as characters may occasionally venture into the larger MCU.
  • Krysten Ritter returns as Jessica Jones in the new season, building on the Defenders-era connections without broadening into ensemble cameos.
  • Selective character movement remains the exception, with past appearances including Charlie Cox in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk and Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin in Hawkeye and Echo.
