The 18 episode series will debut in Spring 2024. He’ll be a true challenge to Matt Murdock when he hits the Disney+ streets in the next couple of years.

Something very exciting is that the Disney+ Kingpin that we saw in Hawkeye was far more of a comic book iteration than the Netflix show. If it continues the story of the Netflix series, Kingpin could be back trying to get vengeance on Daredevil. Daredevil is truly ‘born again’ in fire, pain and love. Like in The Dark Knight Returns this isn’t a pleasant process for our protagonist. Cuts him into little bloody pieces and puts him back together again.

We can therefore assume that we’ll at least see that classical rivalry reignite. The Art and Writing of Daredevil Born Again Frank Miller takes a classic Marvel b-sider. But Vincent D’Onofrio has confirmed to return as Kingpin. It’s very fitting for a reboot/continuation. It could definitely be the case that Disney is just taking the title and putting it here. So it’ll be intriguing to see how Disney recontextualizes this controversial but fan favorite arc. Interestingly though, the notion of Karen as an addict was already part in the original Netflix Daredevil series, in the character’s past. As is the way with many Miller-penned stories about women, it’s hardly an empathetic portrayal. Kingpin uses this against Daredevil as part of his plan to destroy the hero of Hell’s Kitchen. Frank Miller had become the regular artist on Daredevil back when Al Milgrom was editing the series, following an abrupt retirement of the then-newly assigned regular penciler on the book, Frank Robbins. In the famed story arc she struggles with addiction and even becomes a sex worker. The careers of Denny ONeil and Frank Miller have long been intertwined. It’s most notable for its treatment of Karen Page, played in the Netflix series by Deborah Ann Woll (who is not confirmed to return but seems very likely too now). Created by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, the series focuses on the fall of Daredevil at the hands of the Kingpin. Born Again is one of the darkest tales in Daredevil’s comic book canon.
