ART once again imitates real life as Disney’s new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Daredevil: Born Again – intentionally or otherwise – heavily parallels the ascent of Donald Trump to the US presidency.
In every sense of the word, Born Again is a revival of Netflix’s Daredevil series that ended seven years ago, directly picking up from where it left narratively.
Set several years later, the first season opens with a shocking death of a major character that leads to Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) retiring his life as the vigilante Daredevil.
Not long afterwards, businessman and convicted criminal Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) enters the world of politics as he runs for New York mayor, setting up an inevitable clash between Matt and him.
