Original Daredevil Sequel Plan Can Finally Be Told In MCU’s Born Again

Now that Matt Murdock is in the MCU, the original plan for the sequel to 2003's Daredevil can finally be told in Marvel Studios' Daredevil: Born Again. Mark Steven Johnson's 2003 Daredevil film starred future Batman actor, Ben Affleck, as the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, a role which would later be taken on by Charlie Cox for Marvel Television's Daredevil series on Netflix. The original Daredevil film released in an era where superhero movies were only just starting to become more popular, with the releases of Blade in 1998 and X-Men in 2000 helping to boost public awareness of comic book movies, but this didn't save it from falling at the first hurdle.
