Early iterations of the new Disney+ Marvel series were not planning to bring back two of the Netflix Daredevil series' most important characters.

Daredevil: Born Again is bringing the The Man Without Fear back into the center of his own series, and the way the show is being structured, among other developments, makes the return of Daredevil’s fellow Defenders from the Marvel-Netflix era a virtual necessity.

Daredevil: Born Again showrunner compares the upcoming series to The Penguin, potentially hurting the show's image. Fans worry about the show's reception due to the unnecessary comparison and bold claims made by the showrunner. Comparing Daredevil to The Penguin may not be accurate, as they belong to different genres and tones.
