Daredevil: Born Again is just months away now, and we’ve finally seen the first trailer for the new Marvel show. Featuring Matt Murdock’s return to our screens, the first look promises a bloody and brutal new take on the superhero. This time around, Charlie Cox’s vigilante is joining the MCU after his three season run on Netflix. He’s had a few cameos so far in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk, but this makes his major debut into the cinematic universe. He won’t be alone either as several major characters reprise their role in the new nine-episode Disney Plus show.

Among those returning is Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk / Kingpin, who is a long-time foe of Murdock’s. This time around he’ll be running for mayor of New York City when he comes face-to-face with Daredevil once again. Old enemies and friends are also in the show, which is one of the final projects in Marvel Phase 5. So, for everything you need to know about the long-awaited series, read on for our complete guide to Daredevil: Born Again.

Daredevil: Born Again release date

Daredevil: Born Again will be released on Disney Plus on March 4, 2025. In total, the show will feature nine episodes which will air weekly on the streaming platform. This is a reduction from the originally planned 18 episodes that were first announced back in 2022.

The show has taken a while to get to our screens. Development originally started way back in March 2022 with filming kicking off a year later in March 2023. However, the writers’ strike and the actors’ strike of that year delayed filming. During the hiatus, Marvel Studios decided to do a creative overhaul of the show.

The original showrunners, Matt Corman and Chris Ord, were let go with Dario Scardapane hired to rework the show to be more directly connected to the original Netflix series. Filming resumed in January 2024 and wrapped in April.

Daredevil: Born Again plot

Marvel has released an official plot synopsis for Daredevil: Born Again, and it sounds like it will be mainly focused on Murdock and Fisk. The tease reads: “Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened abilities is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past idenтιтies begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course.”

Beyond this, not much else is known about the show. After all, it is a Marvel project and the studio is well known for playing its cards close to its chest. Thankfully, the cast and crew have been a little more loose-lipped. Bullseye star Wilson Bethel revealed last year that the show will take place five years after the Netflix show.

“These are characters who have all lived five years of life and all of the twists and turns that you take in the meantime,” he said. “So whether or not those stories are on screen, there’s just that little extra bit of life in there, which I think, as an actor, gives you an opportunity to bring whatever your own journey has been in that time. They get a little longer in the tooth.”

Cox has also promised that the show will stay true to the violence and darkness of the Netflix original. “The thing that we kept talking about was, this show has had the success that it’s had and has appealed to a very specific demographic because it’s one of the few superhero shows that is so dark and sinister at times,” he said to Entertainment Weekly. “So we really pushed for the show to remain geared towards an older audience and not dumbed down to kind of capture a wider net of people. I think in some ways it’s even darker than a lot of the stuff we’ve done in the past.”

D’Onofrio echoed him, telling Rotten Tomatoes: “There are some things in this show that go much further than we did on the original [Netflix] show. There’s one thing in particular that my character does that I can’t believe made it into the cut.”

As well as the show’s tone, there will be some explicit links to the original Netflix show too, confirms Cox. “Deborah and I had a scene where we find an old box – am I allowed to say that? I think I can say that,” Cox told EW. “We had a scene where we were looking through a box and we find stuff from the past, and it was real stuff from the past. It was stuff from the old [show]. It was like a pH๏τo frame we used on a set eight years ago and we were looking at it together – well, I wasn’t looking at it. But we were reminiscing over it, and it was sweet. It was kind of a little bit of life imitating art.”

Is there a Daredevil: Born Again trailer?

Yes, the first Daredevil: Born Again trailer has been released and you can watch it above. This sees Murdock and Fisk come face to face once again as the latter says, “It’s not entirely unpleasant seeing you again.” The duo chat over a coffee as they reminisce over changes (and similarities) in their lives now. It seems like Murdock has hung up his mask and Fisk is cleaning up his act running for mayor, but how long before chaos returns to Hell’s Kitchen?

The first full-length trailer also features plenty of familiar faces with the return of Bullseye, Karen Page, and Foggy Nelson from the Netflix show. Punisher also makes a brief appearance looking quite worse for wear, while we get a glimpse too at the MCU introduction of White Tiger.

This isn’t the first look we’ve had at Daredevil: Born Again though as Disney did release the first footage back in October 2024. This featured some slightly different footage of Murdock’s and Fisk’s reunion as well as having a small cameo from Yusuf Khan, Ms. Marvel’s dad.

A Farmer’s Misplaced Hammer Led to the Largest Roman Treasure in Britain

November 16, 1992 was the day which changed Suffolk-resident Eric Lawes’ life in a huge way. What he thought would have been an innocent search for a hammer he had misplaced on his farm in Hoxne Village, Suffolk, England ended up bringing him much more than he had bargained for — namely, uncovering the hiding spot of a long-hidden treasure. Based on the Guardian’s coverage of the story, Eric Lawes had been previously gifted a metal detector upon his retirement as a parting token. He decided to put his retirement gift to good use in order to locate the hammer which he had had some trouble finding. According to a 2018 Smithsonian Magazine article, when the device started recording that there was a strong signal coming from the earth, he knew that he was about to discover something big. As he started digging, it soon became clear to him that he had unearthed a treasure trove.

The Guardian reports that, when Lawes saw that his preliminary digging had yielded a few gold coins and silver spoons, he immediately contacted both the local archaeological society and the police department. Archaeologists came to the property the following day and had the area of earth holding the treasure carefully sectioned-off and removed. Their hope was that at a later stage, in their laboratory, they could examined the items in order to identify both their age and how they were stored.

When all was said and done, close to 60 pounds of items made from silver and gold were found on the site. These included more than 15,000 Roman coins, 200 gold objects, and several silver spoons. For archaeologists, this find — which later became labeled as the Hoxne Hoard — was an incredible discovery. AP News reported that archaeologist Judith Plouviez was over-the-moon about the discovery, saying that it was “an incredibly exciting and amazing find.” What’s more, another archaeologist, Rachel Wilkinson, told Smithsonian Magazine that this discovery was “the largest and latest ever found in Britain.”

Ordinarily, archaeologists would use radiocarbon dating as a means of identifying the age of ancient relics. However, they couldn’t locate any suitable material from the haul. Consequently, they determined the age by examining writing on the coins, as well as the ruler carved into them, estimating that the treasure was probably buried in either 408 or 409 AD.

Roman-era archaeologist Peter Guest told Smithsonian Magazine that “if you look at them a little more carefully, then they should be dated to the period after the separation of Britain from the Roman Empire.” He offers as part of his evidence the fact that almost all of the coins found in the Hoxne Hoard were clipped – in other words, small chunks of their edges had been taken off. These clippings would have been used to create coins which were similar to the Roman coins of that era.

Guest has a logical reason for this, arguing that “The Roman Empire wasn’t supplying Britain with new gold and silver coins, and in light of that, the population tried to get over this sudden cutoff in the supply of their precious metals by making the existing supplies go further.”

Archaeologists also believe that the treasure belonged to a Romano-British family. During that time, considering that there was so much societal discord and upheaval, it was common for Romans who had settled in Britain to bury their most prized possessions.

That said, one archaeologist is of the belief that the hoard had a lot of sentimental value for the Romano-British family to whom it is believed to have belonged. In her book The Hoxne Late Roman Treasure: Gold Jewellery and Silver Plate, Catherine Johns claims that the manner in which the treasure was kept supported this claim. Some of the items which were recovered had been packaged in small, wooden boxes which were lined with leather. What’s more, pieces of wood, locks, and nails, among other things, surrounded the gold and silver pieces. This leads Catherine to assert that the package was carefully buried and not simply chucked away in a rush.

Interestingly enough, the items unearthed might shed some light on the identity of the family who owned them. They cite a gold bracelet bearing the inscription “UTERE FELIX DOMINA IULIANE,” which roughly translates to “use this happily Lady Juliane”. A second name “Aurelius Ursicinus” has also been discovered. This has consequently led some to believe that Juliane and Aurelius were the couple and the original owners of the treasure. That said, that has yet to be confirmed.

All in all, the discovery was a real treasure for archaeologists, and by extension, for Lawes. According to Smithsonian Magazine, in recognition of his discovery and willingness to contact authorities, the British government rewarded him with over £1.7 million, an amount which he shared with the farmer whose land was dug out in order to get the treasure. Funnily enough, apart from the treasure, Lawes also found his lost hammer — which now resides in the British Museum.
