'Daredevil' star gives insight into scrapped story for reboot

Several issues marred Daredevil: Born Again during its production, particularly with the story.

The initial idea for the reboot was scrapped, with only Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio set to appear while the series' original supporting cast was cut.

However, Marvel head Kevin Feige swooped in and hit the reset button, which saw new directors and writers for the show re-angle the reboot’s story.

Now, Charlie reflected on the original plot, which was cancelled on the Deadline’s Crew Call podcast. "One of the things the original team wanted to do was, they wanted to keep Vincent and I."

"They wanted to keep us. They didn't want to alienate an audience that hadn't watched the show. So, they wanted it to kind of be a reset."

He continued, "So there was a kind of a conversation about it being almost like a variant, you know, in the Loki show, we talk about these variants."

"It was almost like a variant, and we never said that, but it was almost like a variant. So, it was another version of these characters existing in a world."

In the meantime, the work on season two of Daredevil: Born Again is ongoing.
